flower single : a glimpse into the extra music clips on the disc

As you may already know, the flower single came with a promise of bonus content: music clips of flower, BLAZE LINE and a day dreaming…. At the time, I was speculating that they may be just short clips, but as it turns out, they are the full music videos or pvs!

However, what Back-on have done is to package everything into an .exe file so if you viewed the CD content itself, all you see is:

So what does the interface look like? :) The background is literally Back-on‘s flower single cover, then on the top left of the screen is a video player with orange control buttons along the bottom. To the right is first Back-on‘s new logo (in orange) followed by the text flower, BLAZE LINE and a day dreaming… directly below it. These are clickable, so you would click on them to choose the video.

Having said all that, it’s probably better to show a screenshot, since a picture *is* worth a thousand words, so have a look at the thumbnail of the screenshot below!

Watch the flower PV in full on Youtube!

Just when (I) we thought that the Myspace preview of the flower PV was the best thing we were going to get for the week, it turns out that blueblueblue has yet again surprised us by uploading the full version of the PV on Youtube! Thank you! This latest news comes courtesy of Sound EX via this forum thread, and Back-on have yet again gone in a new direction from their previous work, where the band enter a (rather nice) room with modern decor that has extremely rich colours – particularly dominated by the red sofa – and perform flower.

It isn’t all singing and playing – Back-on eat snacks prepared (by a very lucky lady) and have a little fun as a group too, so it’s quite an interesting video to watch, especially if you’re enjoying the music as well!

You can watch the video by clicking on this direct link, or scrolling further to watch it directly on BOO! Why not let us know what you think too in the comments section? :)

Update 28/12/2007: Thanks to TELO for letting us know about the video going offline! We have now updated the link with the same PV that has kindly been uploaded by dualimaen.

Watch Kodou PV as well as a clip of Back-on’s live performance!

We haven’t posted updates regarding Back-on Youtube content for a long while (its mainly been about e.g. Murder Princess OVA), but the list included MVs for New World, Gaku-Ten and Flydom. Today, I came across some brand new videos uploaded by the one-and-only blueblueblue. I can only hazard a guess that this user is from Japan but he/she comes up with the most unique Back-on clips!

Watch the “New World” MV

Courtesy of blueblueblue, fans can now watch the new MV from Back-on on Youtube: New World – titled the same as their fourth and latest mini-album. Since “Chain”, Teeda (the MC) has undergone a make-over: He now sports a brand new hair-do – braided and dyed with some funky extensions, along with heavy eye-shadow reminiscent of Good Charlotte. Do I like it? Hell yes!I’m fairly certain he’s also worked out a bit more since.

Here are some screenshots (in some vague order) of the music video, enjoy – you can click on the thumbnails to view a slideshow of the images in their original size:

Finally, as with every album release, there is always an accompanying CM (Commercial Message):

• New World CM – a clipped version of ‘New World’ with all the frills of release dates and other information

Watch the “Chain” MV

In the future all media will be streamed from Enchained, but in the meantime – Youtube (being the source of all things video) is our friend. You can watch Back-on’s Chain PV on Youtube courtesy of Absjpn.

Other Back-on MVs that you can find on Youtube are from blueblueblue include:

• Flydom from ‘Baby Rock‘, Back-on’s 3rd mini-album

  
  

• Gaku Ten also from ‘Baby Rock‘ featuring (Nao Oikawa)

  
  

• Baby Rock CM where CM stands for ‘Commercial Message’.
