Single V

A Single V (シングルV^?) is a type of a DVD single released by artists who are part of the j-pop idol conglomerate Hello! Project.

A Single V contains a music video for the title song plus a few more of its versions plus a making-of.

A corresponding Single V is usually released exactly a week, or rarer two weeks after the release of a Hello! Project CD single. Most artists follow this pattern, except few that include Melon Kinenbi. A Single V will usually contain the promotional video for a single, an alternate shot of the video, like a dance shot version, or a close up version, and making of footage of the video or CD jacket photo shoot. Aya Matsuura's Single V for Kizuna contains the promotional video for the song, a close-up version of the video, and a making of clip.

Lately, a single will also be released in a limited edition version that contains a DVD with a different, alternate promotional video than is on the Single V. v-u-den's Koisuru♥Angel♥Heart Single V contains the promotional video, as well as a "white angel" version of the video, while the limited edition DVD that came with the cd-single contains the "dance shot" version of the video.

Sometimes, an Event V (エベントV^?) will be released at Hello! Project fan club events that will offer alternate shots of a promotional video, or bonus footage, like backstage footage or footage from a photo shoot not released anywhere else. An example of this would be the Event V released for Morning Musume's single, Resonant Blue, which contained: an alternate, still-camera shot of the promotional video; TV spots for the single; making-of footage for the jacket cover photo shoot; and a collection of photos of Morning Musume. All the contents of this Event V were exclusive to it and were not released anywhere else.
