Lucky Saturday Jukebox Says Puberty Is Mean

...especially when you're in a Japanese boyband.

Case point: w-inds

Here they are in 2001:

(Racial harmony via happy-go-lucky Japanese Tween Pop?)
And here they are this year (with the Japanese image song from Shrek 3)



W-inds - Love is the Greatest Thing [PV]

Better beats, (arguably) better choreography, but wouldn't you hate to try to hit those notes all career-long?

these are surprisingly good videos and songs. maybe the fact that they're for shrek (and there are a ton of people involved in making sure the disney-franchise movie is a success) ensures high production values. also, i wasn't aware that japanese pop uses english in their hooks -- although perhaps that due to shrek as well. oh, as far as these kids having to hit those notes for the duration of their careers, that will be tough to do once they hit puberty. ;-)
