]]> Comment on Cinderella is complex? by freehummingbird http://freehummingbird.wordpress.com/2008/06/26/cinderella-is-complex/#comment-36 freehummingbird Tue, 01 Jul 2008 02:49:32 +0000 http://freehummingbird.wordpress.com/?p=150#comment-36 Thanks for the comments! I was actually wondering about how I wrote the review myself, but my feelings towards the solo lines are still nixed. I really wanted each girl to have at least one stanza or equal share of the song. If it sounds confusing, well, simply put, I just didn't like the way Ai and Reina took up the mic, but I totally agree with how it affects the storyline. Thanks also for explaining the true definitions for Cinderella complex, too! I actually knew that there was a relation to something in real life with the song, and an actual story to the song. I didn't know there was an actual definition to the term and now, I'm not so "complexed". :P Thanks for the comments!

If that's the case, then fair enough.) I noticed in the subtitled version of the PV that those lines correspond with the thoughts of the song's female protagonist, her memories of being a child, when she was younger and dreaming of true love and fairy tales and such. Then, right before the chorus kicks in, Aichan and/or Reina (depending on the verse) shift the focus into the present, where the grown-up girl knows she running out of time for her fairy tale to come true. Aichan and/or Reina sharing a verse with one of the younger girls provides an interesting contrast with the child the girl in the song used to be, and who she is now. So yeah, while it does seem like Aichan and Reina are hogging mic time, in this case, I think it adds to the effectiveness of the storytelling, making it more complex (yes, that pun is intentional.) :) I think you may be missing the point with the three younger members doing the solo lines (Or at least, it appears you are, maybe you caught it and still don’t like it.
