PV: Nega - idle

I'm finally a lot better than I was last week so I've done a lot of thinking among all the coughing, hacking, blood, spittle and snot (and I know that was infinitely more information than you will ever need or was looking for) and realized a few things. The most important was that I was at college and even though my time is lessened and I won't be able to write two or three reviews daily like I used to, I'm going to have a tougher time getting my hands on music due to the school's filesharing policy. Long story short, I'm going to have to find something else music related to do until I get my hands on the new releases until about January, when I have the month off and can download freely once more. Until then, I'll switch my focus to music videos and keep up on some of the new albums the day/the day after they come out. I might also go back in my library and pull out an old album every once in a while when I'm REALLY strapped but for now, visuals are the way to go. And of course, how can you enjoy visual kei without the visuals?

So we have Nega's PV for Idle, which I spent the last few days looking for so they're below. I haven't figured out how to put videos in the post quite yet so you'll have to head over to YouTube to watch it but it shouldn't be that hard. It made me appreciate the song more so now I actually like Idle but when I compare the video to the lyrics I don't find a correlation between the two. The sudden ending at the end of the video is also not cool, especially since the entire video has such good quality I'm entranced.

From what I understand the video is supposed to be about an abandoned world but that's me REALLY stretching it. It's just four guys rocking out in an abandoned warehouse spliced with scenes of what the hell. Seriously, the whole "rocker running away from nothing like a scared bitch and posing like a fashion model" shtick in Visual Kei music is about as bad as the music. Get more original or don't waste my time with stupidity. I hate Versailles for having a seven minute music video full of men staring at me and this doesn't fare any better either.

Jin without makeup is also interesting. He actually LOOKS Japanese.

Three cheers to Nega for throwing away their visual parts one by one. Perhaps they could deliver two singles that don't suck as hard as Grave of the Sacrifice. More dig and ill at the very least (or if you feel like getting really good at it give us some dole/hole era stuff).

So let's recap.

Pros

- Good song
- Good quality

Cons

- Rather bland video overall
