Keep Tryin'

The much anticipated PV- Keep Tryin' was finally released yesterday,yay!! The first thing I did yesterday morning was visiting U-O.net to see if someone had uploaded the PV. I was really excited to see that it had been uploaded. But then I got a bit worried when I saw the screen cap the poster/uploader put on the post.. It was Hikki brushing her teeth. I thought it might be another Hikari-like PV? That would be a let down. When I scrolled down the page a bit, luckily there were some good feedbacks. So it's all good.

Yep, the PV was awsome. It's sad that this is going to be Kariya's last directed PV for Hikki. Why?? His past directed PVs were some of the best music videos I've watched before! But this PV is way cool, it is very colourful and cheerful. You could see Hikki being so cheerful and smiling in her PVs. It's great to see her smiling again since her last 2 PVs were so serious.. It really made my day. Compared to some of her past PVs, this one doesn't need too much interpretations, which is not a bad thing cos I still couldn't figured out what some of her past PV's meaning.. You could also see Hikki in a lot of characters. I like the musician beside the street and the politician best.. they looked cute. And the outfits in the PV are awsome too! I love the flight attendant's one best! Other than that, as a wrap for Kariya's production, there are some parts in the PV that have references back to his past directed PVs. All in all, it's a very inspiring song and inspiring PV.. Everyone has to just keep trying in whatever they do. Look at Hikki as a politician in the PV, shes trying hard although everyone else ignored her.
"Don't you dare say, "My dream is to be a politician"
Don't you have any dreams?" -Keep Tryin' lyrics
Here's another quote i read from newspaper,
每个平凡人生，都可以有不平凡的自我期许，只要敞开心胸，好好认识自己，找出自己的发展可能，再远的梦，总是闪闪发亮，引人一步一步往前行。 -赵永楠
It had certainly inspired me to work hard to achieve my dreams and keep tryin'! I'm currently addicted to the song.. Can't believe it already topped my track charts on last fm..



So did you find which part was similar to her past PVs? You should try looking for them before reading further as I was spoiled myself yesterday reading the forummer's posts, haha..

Here's the similarities discovered so far:
Travelling PV:
1) The travelling waitress Hikki serving food and doing the travelling run. (I only managed to notice this as this was the most obvious one, lol)

Final Distance PV:
2) The little kid outside the weather forecast TV touching the glass with another white costume person similar to Hikki seperated from herself through the glass in Final Distance.

Passion PV:
3) The typewriters/officers beside where Hikki walked looks like Hikki walking the path in Passion.

Sakura Drops PV:
4) The costumes Hikki wore in Sakura Drops were hung in the costume shop.

Travelling PV:
5) Hikki cycling to work with some people following in the back similar to Hikki in Travelling as a tour guide.

A few other facts to ponder:
1) The little girl sleeping singnifying?
Maybe singnifying a new day is to come? Or maybe it means that we should face the world with innocence like a child? Whatever it is, that part is beautiful.
2) The food was made by paper..lol.. as pointed out by someone in the forum.
3) Could the bride in the lyrics referring to Hikki herself? We could see Hikki hugging a guy in the PV. (Pointed out by my sis)
4) When Hikki was stepping the paddle in the train, you could actually heard the sound of the gas coming out which is the rythm of the song..
