hiro :: Single Video Clips - Brilliant on Films

Review
This is hiro's first music video collection after her former group, SPEED, broke up. It contains six music videos and they are pretty similar in execution to the ones she did with SPEED. Unfortunately, most of the material here is your typical, unoriginal music video stuff. You really wouldn't be missing anything by skipping these music videos. Also included is a decent four-and-a-half minute "making of" clip for In Season which is more entertaining than the video itself. I would advise spending your time and money elsewhere.

As Time Goes By
I enjoyed this one. hiro is hanging out around the city singing her song, and she looks beautiful in a few scenes.

In Season
This is a rather boring music video. There's nothing really happening. During most of the video she is just standing there singing and it feels poorly directed. Bleh.

見つめていたい
I didn't like the video style used here. It cuts out too fast during a number of scenes, and uses some weird and unappealing visual effects. It focuses on Hiro dancing with a group of others. Ho hum.

Treasure
This one is ok. Hiro is pretty much dancing throughout this one, but the moves look pretty good. Still, very average music video fare.

Bright Daylight
This is one of the other ones I actually enjoyed. It's just got a "feel good" atmosphere that I really like. Yeah, it's basically hiro dancing again but she is looking good and the environments are attractive.

Sweet Love
This one is not too exciting. The focus switches between a "normal life" view and her singing in the studio. Again, it's just a fairly boring music video.

Overall:
Ryan Frost, 2005
