'Girls: Selfish' (stylized as 'girls ~Selfish~') is the second music video DVD from Japanese star Koda Kumi.
Information
The long process of meeting, falling in love, and then breaking up, Kuu shows the jealous-side and possessiveness women experience over love in her new DVD video collection: Girls: Selfish. The DVD contains three videos and, while all three are stand-alones, they share the same storyline.[1]
Music Videos
The video for "Selfish" depicts Kumi as part of a band of stripper women who find their way into a haunted mansion. Kumi is shown entering the palace wearing a see-through mesh top with a bra underneath, and assless chaps with a leopard print bikini bottom. The band of stripper women enter a room and perform the song's choreography. She is also seen in a more elaborate black feather outfit, with her make-up and nails are done up extravagantly. In those scenes, she is a vampire dominatrix character, during the song's guitar break she is shown seducing / fighting some of her male backup dancers at the same time. The later half of the PV shows both male and female dancers dancing along Kumi in the same room earlier from the PV. The choreography in this video is considered the most intense seen in any Koda Kumi video including being lifted up by a group of male backup dancers and a front flip into the camera. A dance version of the PV was released on BEST ~Bounce & Lovers~ which include a majority of dance scenes, reedited with zoom out shots and lightning effects but still contains parts of the other scenarios.
The video of "Shake It" depicts Kumi as a belly dancer, performing a sexy routine in a tented area. It begins with a man finding his way into the tent, discovering Kumi, who proceeds to push the man into a chair and starts dancing for him. At the end of the first chorus, Kumi sends the man into flying air. The rest of the video is almost entirely a performance sequence with Kumi and her female backup dancers, which at points simulates both anal and vaginal sex explicitly. The bridge is interrupted by the aforementioned dance break, which shows Kumi dancing solo in a black hoodie.
The video of "24" depicts Kumi in bed, reminiscing about the things that took place the night before.
