Image1: This time, many of the music videos feature dancers. Many of
them are familiar to me from the live concerts, although, in reality,
some of these may have been shot before the concert. The dancer on
the right is definitely Hayashi Sayaka. I'm not so sure about the
other one. Actually, it appears that she was part of the chorus for
most of the Live Skipper tour, except the biggest one, which featured
Ishida Sachi instead. I think this one is Kitabayashi Asuka. I'd
appreciate any corrections.
Image2: Also, much of the dance moves are the same as the ones used in
the live.
Image3: White top is definitely Hayashi Sayaka, black top is probably
Ushirokawa Mika, and Blue top is the nameless one. Actually, she
said she is 'P' in the live. By matching it up with the list of
names in both the Live Attraction and Live Skipper DVD inserts, I
figured out that she's Satou Hiroko. I know it's strange, but I seem
to like the right side (their left) much more than the left (their
right). This was true in the Live Skipper DVD, too. Strange, isn't
it?
Image4: They also put some commercials Nana-chan has done. I don't
know about you, but I wouldn't care who is featured in a commercial
for any electronic device. That would be one of the stupidest ways
to determine what to buy.
***UPDATE***
I received an informative email from "CC of
Seiyuu Directory"
regarding that commercial, so here's the whole thing in verbatim (with
a minor spelling fix ;^) :
Just a note on the commercial. The Iromelomix CMs is a series of commericals for a mobile phone ringtone download service in Japan named, you guessed it, Iromelomix (also note that Iromelomix is a big sponsor of all of Nana-chan's concerts). The big "thing" is that now the mobile phones in Japan are not only polyphonic, but are able to handle stereo output as well as voices, so Iromelomix provides many famous songs as downloadable ringtones, and these includes anime and seiyuu songs. There's an ongoing otaku joke in Japan that some otaku become friends as soon as they hear a ringtone of their favourite artist playing from the other's mobile phone. =) Anyway, back to Nana. The commerical that Nana-chan did was to promote this ringtone download service, and not the actual phones itself. I believe Nana-chan was amongst the first batch of artists that had their songs as downloadable ringtones when this service began, which was around the time when the single of "still in the groove" was released. As a side note, both Okui Masami and Hayashibara Megumi also did a series of commerical for Iromelomix, providing the BGM song and narration respectively. PS. I'm currently a user of this service. =p
And that reminds me of a funny story I heard. During a training session
at this company, which will remain nameless, although I will say that it
is an evil company in *cough* tel, one person's phone rang. This was at
the time phones in the U.S. started having polyphonic ringtones, and in
this particular case, the phone was playing some kind of a symphony. And
my friend said, "Your orchestra is calling." And everyone laughed.
medetashi medetashi.
Anyway, that says something about how I don't actually pay attention to advertisements at all. By the way, what do they call the ringtones now? Ringsongs? When will surround sound be availble on little phones? @_@
