The music video of the century has now been released: Vibrato, by Stellar. I'm going to start off by saying I didn't like the setup I was using for my last music reviews, so like my anime and other reviews, I'm just going to ramble.

And my rambling is going to start off by saying: This music video is sexy. Over the top sexy. Extremely oversexualized. Just plain perverted.

And I love it so much.

As soon as I saw the title to the song, I knew that this concept was going to be over-the-top sexy. I knew that there was going to be something about this video and song that was going to just blow my mind, and maybe the minds of others. The lyrics and video both scream womanhood, and the innuendos in the music video are blatantly obvious. Enough to make any viewer uncomfortable. Which is great. I mean, come on, having purses, eyes, lips...anything open at the vertical angle it was positioned in? All the blood references, with either the use of fake blood or the watermelon splitting open? Everything is extremely obvious. It's something I love. These girls embraced their sexuality and basically gave a middle finger to the world.



Considering all the backlash they got for Marionette (which I never really understood, I loved Marionette) it's no wonder the girls took this approach for Vibrato. Not-so-curiously enough, they're even wearing their Marionette costumes. Their outfits, the exposure of skin, their choreography, and all the allusions create a visual masterpiece, in my opinion.

I really enjoyed the song, as well. The rap in the song was...poor, to be blunt, but the rest of the song made up for it. While this is probably a song feel we've gotten over and over and it's nothing to "wow" about, Vibrato uses its simplicity to its advantage by being extremely catchy. I also enjoyed the kind of oldish feel the song had, kind of like a blast-from-the-past summer song.

Maybe one of the reasons I love this Stellar song and music video so much is because it almost mirrors my love for EXID and how they stand out. Known for being sexy (though not to Stellar's standards, if you ask me), their song Up & Down was aimed at masculinity and the such. Meanwhile, Ah Yeah was aimed at censorship of women and basically telling a guy "no means no" where Up & Down was all for pleasing that guy and the games that came in the process. Meanwhile, Stellar hit the nail on the head with embracing womanhood, being sexy, and pleasing both yourself and your significant other—if you want to, of course.
