Encore
This week we have Zettai Chokkyu Joshi! Playballs! and their MV for Standing Double.
A baseball idol unit that sings to upbeat ska. That is a sentence that few people get to write, but it’s a great way to describe Playballs!, a unit that’s releasing their latest single on March 7th.
In this MV we get to see the group as they dance to the upbeat sound of the song. Visually, it’s a bit random but it matches perfectly with the beat of the song, with fast paced scenes showing them dancing, talking to foreigners, and even talking to a guy dressed up as a ghost.
It’s all over the place, but that’s what makes it so much fun. Check it out below!
