Hinoi Team / Super Euro Party : 3 of 5
7.28.2006 8:02 PM \| Link	I first heard about Hinoi Team when I downloaded the video of their song Sticky Tricky and Bang (hilarious title!) - it was so funny and peppy that I had to see more! Thankfully the band has had enough releases to put out a kind of greatest hits CD, so that's what I decided to try. Super Euro Party not only has a CD with 15 songs, but also a DVD with 13 videos! Hinoi Team sings super-energetic Eurobeat-style songs, and most of the videos are simply the girls doing Para Para routines. This was my first time to actually watch entire Para Para songs, and I have to say that even though it's goofy, the complex moves can be pretty cool. Each video has the girls decked out in cute outfits and dancing away, often along with Koriki Choshu, who is a Japanese comedian - he's a chunky guy in short shorts who dances along and says funny things during the songs. Yes, it's completely bizarre, but it can be hilarious! He's especially good in Night of Fire, where he's like an angry, fire-breathing monster who the girls battle with magical powers! I really like the band's first video Ike Ike, but I think King Kong is the best, with its tropical setting and dresses made of flowers. The DVD has some bonus material with each band member, doing things like making a scrapbook, cooking and so on. Even though the CD has to be taken in small doses (it's fun to listen to in the car, but you have to be in a hyper mood first!), I still enjoy it. It definitely reminds me of a lot of early DDR music! Labels: cds, jpop
