BiS are BAMFs

First off I want to apologize for how glitchy Blogger/ Blogspot is.  I've heard that people have had difficulty posting comments.  If it makes you feel any better I have to suffer glitches as well: videos I embed disappear at random.  I've decided that the BAMF awards will no longer be a weekly series.  The idol scene lacks risk takers, or at least to a point where it is difficult to find something exemplary on a weekly basis.  Now onto the topic at hand.
Brand-New Idol Society's whole concept is to break out of the typical idol mold.  (I had hopes that SDN48 would be that group by throwing the shelf-life for idols out the window, which they did, but I couldn't respect some of their work.)  I've adored their music thus far, and some of their PVs.  I do respect them for trying something new (but some shots aren't that appealing).  I've posted their new PV for primal. after the jump.  There are a few shots I liked for being edgy and kind of documentary-like.  However, the majority of the PV I find too disturbing to watch because of how graphic it is.  My opinion is that it isn't a good PV.  This is due to the fact that instead of accentuating the music, it distracts.  After viewing it I couldn't remember a thing about the song.  Plus, the infra-red shot looked low budget.  I understand how it works with the concept of primality, but it isn't flattering for the girls who I sorely missed.  They aren't as active in the media so I don't get to see them frolic that often, besides they have a new member.  nerve is by far my favorite PV (My lxxx is a close second) they've released because it is different, but it features the members themselves.  It is also quite effective because it is also my favorite song.

  1. Thanks Mina for this week's BAMF's. I never would have heard about this group if it wasn't for you. I really enjoy their music. I just subscribed to their Youtube channel and I plan to do some further listening and research on this group.

    I also liked your last week's BAMF as well. (Since my oshi is Akicha.) I was actually going to recommend Aki for your previous BAMF but I could not think of any evidence to prove her BAMF-ness. But then she ended up being your last week's BAMF anyways so that was just really awesome.

    It's a shame that a BAMF will no longer be decided on a weekly basis anymore, but never-the-less, I will continue to look forward to them since they have always been very insightful for me.

  2. If people did send in recommendations I could make it a weekly thing, but I just felt half-hearted about ones I could think of. So I am going to save it for those who deserve the title. People should still send it in. Oh thanks for the comment. (I subscribe to their YouTube page too.)
