Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3JJxfeXLJA
Once again, In Yan is an aesthetically pleasing 4-member group tied to a large revolving object by a microphone wire. I cannot imagine how long it took to film this video. I would never be able to stay tied to something that revolves for more than a few seconds without having a panic attack or getting the strong urge to barf... yikes.
 |
| I could use some dramamine... |
 |
| Ukrainian Jessica Alba is not amused. |
 |
| The real Fabio would probably set this revolving thing off kilter... |
 |
| Let's call this dude Chad Michael Murray. |
 |
| At least 15% of this video is just shots like this. |
 |
| More evidence that the blonde girl is the money maker of this group and the camera man loves to creep on her hardcore. Seriously, you aren't fooling anyone. |
The video also commits blondecest and brunettecest. Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable from these blonde-blonde brunette-brunette pairings? Ukranian Jessica Alba has no chemistry with either of the guys, but she looks better with the brunette and Chad Michael Murray actually dated brunette girl and has way more chemistry with her ahh Russia get it right >.<
 |
| Just stop it. |
 |
| This makes me uncomfortable, and not in a good way. |
So basically, the brunettes and blondes are in these weird abusive relationships. Fabio keeps trying to pin the brunette girl against a wall where knifes are uncontrollably sticking out. Chad Michael Murray keeps pushing Jessica Alba in front of moving cars. This is all supposed to be a representation of the song's lyrics (maybe) but I don't think it was effective. And of course, the women are unaffected by the men treating them like dirt.
 |
| What even is this? |
 |
| That's a moving shot of her post-shove on the ground. |
 |
| You gonna take that? |
 |
| Let's simultaneously snap each others' necks! |
Here is a translation of the lyrics:
Jealousy overwhelmed me like an avalanche
And starting from yesterday there is only a part of me left
I turned into your shadow, and cannot find myself
Only the love hurts more and more like a splinter.
Already knowing what's gonna happen, I turn my plane straight to the sky
Just so I won't have to feel the tears.
Chorus:
Kamikaze, kamikaze, eternity for the sake of one day
Kamikaze, kamikaze, my skies love me
Kamikaze, kamikaze, I've ought to leave you now
Kamikaze, kamikaze, have no fear, have no fear, have no fear!
I didn't want to accept you and the changes
But the love didn't just come, it started running through my veins
And even in my wildest dreams and fantasies I wouldn't dare to come near you
I escape this unrequited love by falling.
Already knowing what's gonna happen, I turn my plane straight to the sky
Chorus (3 times)
Kamikaze, kamikaze, my skies love me
Kamikaze, kamikaze, have no fear, have no fear, have no fear!
If you really look into the lyrics, this song could be of a rather serious nature. If we consider that a Kamikaze is a suicide bombing attempt via aircraft, the lyrics are comparing the singers' desire to kill themselves over a failed relationship in order to not feel the pain of a breakup... over dramatic much?
I will take this song for what it is, a great dance song that I love to sing giberish to in my car when I am alone because I don't speak Russian.
Overall, this video is not that stellar. I'm not surprised, but I know that this group, especially as a 4 member group (Ukrainian Jessica Alba left the group in 2011) could have made some awesome music videos if given better story lines and direction. They have an interesting group dynamic, but it seems as though they are always suppressing their personalities on camera. You're not robots! Give us something other than face punching and bondage, Russia! Despite the lackluster aspect of the video, I still enjoyed it. These people are interesting to watch. I just wish they were given better scenarios.
 |
| Okay, it looks like they are both doomed now. Is that any way to end a video? |
 |
| Brunettecest will get you nowhere. Just stop! |
