Let this load in the background. Don't watch it!! Whatever you do, DON'T WATCH IT! Just let it load and then listen to the song as though it were a song on the radio.
While you're listening, try to decide how old you think the singers are. This is not a trick question! Give it an honest answer! 58? 29? 11? You tell me. If you can't pick a specific age just for fun, then pick between these five categories: elderly (60+), older adult (60-35), young adult (20-35), teen (14-20), and child (<14).
Now, once the song finishes, once you're done deciding, or once your ears have started bleeding ;p (whichever happens first), go ahead and take a look at the music video. And now tell me how old you think the girls are.
I don't know the answer. And I will provide my own guesses as the first reply.

Aural clues: I would have thought that these girls were in their young 20s. At the youngest, I would have pegged them for 16-year olds, but they sounded like Japanese Spice Girls to me. I totally would have thought "young adults."
Visual clues: JESUS CHRIST @_@ , they're little girls! (like, look at 0:04!) I mean, sure, maybe they're not LITTLE little girls, but still! They've gotta be like, what? 13 at the OLDEST? I'm guessing they're ages 11-13.
Ultimate conclusion: okay, I think that one girl is probably the youngest, and yeah, she is uncomfortably young, but the others are probably baby-faced teens. This is probably a teen idol group. Maybe. Possibly. Hopefully (so it's not any worse than it already is :\).
Verdict: child exploitation? YES. Uncomfortable watching the music video? Yes. Okay with listening to the song all by itself? Yeah, it's a cute catchy song. ^_^ Even if it makes your ears bleed. ;p :)
