Bland Elephants - Himitsu no Diary

Today I'm going to review the song ''Himitsu no Diary'' which is the exclusive B-side of Type B from AKB48's single ''Mae Shika Mukanee''.

This song is sung by the group ''Baby Elephants'' that consits of all the little girls from the centers Juri, Yuka and Ryoka to even our little HKT48 cutie Nako-chan! xD What did I say? Tano Yuka is flanking Juri, who is the center. YESSSS!! It's not as good as being the real center but this is sooo great nevertheless. Juri seems  to be another pushed girl, the same with Ryoka and a lot of the other girls, so this group is still made up of the pushes. But it's not as overpushed as the lions. ;) So as I'm REALLY happy that Yuka is in this song, I'm actually not the biggest fan of it.

This is one of these slower but not ballady songs that sound relaxing but also a bit generic. Sorry, but for me there's NOTHING interesting or new in this song.. It's not a bad song and it's not the girls' fault. But I don't know, it's just not my type of song..

Let's see what the music video has to offer:

The first scene is at a muddy football field. It's raining so our little Juri has an umbrella..

Juri: Fuck it, my awesomeness doesn't need the umbrella..
Okay xD

And with that Juri helds her head up high with her eyes closed.

Juri: Such a beautiful sky!!

Yuka: *runs* JURIII!!
OMG, they look both so tiny.. and cute xD

Yuka also climbs on Juri's bike and Ryouka pushed it from behind.
Seems like these three are best friends. Which is cool, because they are also pretty good friends in real life.

This precious laugh.. *-*

And tiny Ryoka looks even tinier.

A glimpse of other girls..
Aoi is hugging Chihiro. So cute ;)

Juri is in the library and she likes to read..
Lol at Aoi and Rina in the abckground.. xD

But what's that? Someone asks her whether she likes the book or not.

Juri: Who wrote this??

And of course she likes the book xD

Lovely Yuka *-*

Ah, finally more members..
Marina, Miyu, Rina and Yuuri.

Mizuho, Love-tan, Miori, Mion and Azumarion.
Is that really mizuho? She looks so different..

Yuiri, Chihiro, Nako, Yukari and Yuka.

And so the relation between Juri and the unknown person continues..
She writes with him..

Juri: This is so much fun! :D

Ayana, Moe, Aoi and Miyu.

And of course Juri, Ryoka and Yuka.
That were all the members. Actually, I didn't know all the Team 4 and KKS.. haha :'D

Random school scenes and Juri continues to write with the person..

In my opinion she seems a bit obsessed with the book and the stranger she writes with..

But at least she still meets up with her friends..

Mion is sooo freaking cute. *-* I always thought her profile picture looked awesome, but now she actually also looks awesome here ^^
And of course Rion is sooo cool!

Some screentime for the other members. They seem to paint something..

Rina's awesome laugh. :D

Yes Nako and Miorin, you should eat more and grow.. xD

Juri: *philosophing* What's the meaning of life?

Seems like the perso stopped writing Juri and she is sad. Her friends are yowwrying about her..
Yuka: Juri..
Ryoka: She will be alright! I hope..

The scene from the beginning..

These three are very cute together!

Ah, this is what the others were working on?? This is beautiful!

Very beautiful!

Juri kept the little letters and put them into her Diary.

They are part of my life!
-THE END-

So this video is pretty cute. Juri is obviously the center as she has the most important role. She somehow writes with an uknown person through the book. And yeah, that's the only thing that happens in the video. Okay, it's a cute story, but not the most interesting one. I'm happy that at least Yuka and Ryoka have bit screentime. The rest, well they don't appear that much.. :'D I don't like that most of the attention is on Juri. I mean, why couldn't they show the others more? She's cute, I know.. but arrgh..
Aaaanyways.. The video matches the song.. lol.. they are both a bit bland, but together it fits!

All in all I'm not the biggest fan of this song + video, but the members are cute and I love Yuka so yeah.. :'D Certainly not the best release on this single but yeah.. :)
