But as you said, it really fits the pachinko thing. Look at this machine with all those colorful plastic diamonds and so on... It's pretty japanese actually haha! Quote:
The anime part is just epic. I mean, I laughed through the whole thing! Ayu jumping so as to save one of her dancer, being trapped between life and death...! |

I know that I've seen screenshots from it before but I never knew where it was from D:
Man, how did I miss this? Love it! Thanks for sharing ^^ |
Just seen the Anime video. And.. what? Is she a bricklayer now? :laugh
Actually it's well made and not so cheap as I thought (by what I can see from the video). And wow Shu-ya looks so bishounen :roflmao. |
Quote:
As for the other comments about Ayu, yes. She looks amazing at the beginning... I don't understand why she doesn't wear her hair long all the time, she looks so much better to me! |
Loved the PV, I wish that this same 'technology' was used for progress PV -_-
and I felt so sorry for Subaru :weep lol |
Quote:
And I found the whole concept and story to be pretty cheesy, so, it's not like i would love it with an amazing animation anyway... it looks like a random anime opening... And I really hate to see ayu as a damsel in distress... It goes against her lyrics, the image the portrays most of the time and her performances... |
the anime is so dramatic, XD
at least ayu looks pretty well on anime |
Avex should release DVD/Blu-ray A PACHINKO VIDEO COLLECTION LOL!
PS. I don't know why people call a simple video is a cheap, You want she makes every videos with million budget? and I think progress can told the meaning very well and I really like it. I don't understand why people are so serious. |
I thought the PV was interesting. But some reason doesn't really match Duty to me. It felt Final Fantasy-ish to me. :laugh I love fantasy stuff.
|
God, so much whingeing. Yes its cheesy, but perfect for the pachinko machine and really not that bad of a PV if you don't think about how cheap it was to make. She's not going to splash out on some lavish PV that probably won't ever be officially released.

omg i wish Duty single (special edition) will be released. |

The videogame characters don't appeal to me. The PV seems so cheap and it doesn't even fit the song that much... But she does look awesome in the beginning though. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SClh6...bx5HSg&index=2 And you have a ton of ****load of AMV's on Youtube that fit especially well with the song. |

Really, the whole thread of "people who like the video don't understand ~design" needs to stop. Give your fellow fans some credit; some people value the narrative--or maybe even just the narrative possibilities promised by Ayu stepping into the fantasy/action realm--over the quality of the effects themselves. And other people just like it without understanding or caring why. That's ok, too. |

i personally like the video because i think it's cool to have ayu in a game-like video clip to see. it'd be great if she could ever make something like this on her next release's PV. it's NOT even the official Duty PV. |
love it:luv2

Did a translation of the lyrics, maybe the PV will make more sense when watched together with lyrics. ;) Quote:

^ i agree.
I felt like it fit very well and it was pretty well done. (Of course from the quality of the video it looks kinda cheap) I would like to see a full HD version before saying anything about the "effects" But the video tells a wonderful story that fits the song very nicely. |
so this video si specially made for ayu panchiko game? not badd!! infact its a great thing!
|
Lol at people thinking anyone actually dislikes it because the CGI looks cheap...I couldn't care less for the CGI budget as it IS a low budget production. For that the CGI is fine.
I dislike it because it looks like random scenes thrown together for an anime or game opening, is incredibly cheesy and not a single shot really struck me as great. I much prefer a "boring" video without story as long as it's either well-directed or features an interesting idea - or both. |
I'm really glad Ayu made this :). It doesn't have to be perfect for it to be beautiful...
I laugh at the fact that people will ALWAYS have selfish and negative things to say, regardless of what she does (even her fans). Some people are never satisfied, even when Ayu's working herself to death to produce something nice for the fans. Ah well...I still love it :). |
Quote:
I was trying to think of a way to say this, but you said it perfectly :) |
A music video doesn't need a million dollar budget to be enjoyed or appreciated. It was different, and I loved it. Ayu looked gorgeous and it had an actual story line. I'm completely satisfied with watching this then watching what could have been a diaster.

pachinko is a gaming console right? |
^ It's the only way Japanese people can legally gamble in Japan. In shape it's more like a slot machine, but you actually turn a dial and control the constant movement of these little metal balls.
You have to try to get them to fall into a certain spot and once you find a good spot for the dial, you just hold it there while occasionally mashing some buttons, depending on the machine, to interact with the story line. It's really loud and obnoxious haha. So this video is like a "stage" that you can reach by hitting certain areas or reaching a certain amount of points or what have you. |

I do find it funny that you say you dislike the video for being "random scenes thrown together" when that's the exact problem on which I thought "Duty" improved lol. Different strokes, I guess. (Or a sign that I wasted my youth playing JRPGs, so this kind of nonsense makes total narrative sense to me. There's a scary thought.) |
Thank you! Very interesting clip!
|
I said more than once, for a pachinko video it is VERY good. But that's all it is: a good pachinko video.
As a PV it is bad, which is why the "omg Ayu's last PVs should have been like this!!!" is ridiculous @ reixminako You realize that most people disliking this have liked most of her latest releases? I don't think a single person that expressed dislike in this thread is some kind of "hater" going around talking how this and that sucks. There are those on AHS but I don't think I've read such a posting in this thread. I personally think Love Songs is by far Ayu's best album and FIVE is better than some of the albums many fans love so much. RnRC Tour and CDL1011 are amongst my favorite Ayu concerts, I think her vocals now are - together with maybe 2003 - the best she's ever had and can't wait to see PoM. This Duty video is the first thing Ayu did I really disliked in years - and I don't even dislike it. What really annoys me are the fans acting like it's more than just a pachinko video, like it's "oh so good". |
^I see your point and it's all good to think and like whatever you want. :) And it's great to hear that you love the Love Songs album cuz I found myself quite so-so about it. :/ But I agree, R'n'RC are probably my fav Ayu concert ever!
But, in fact there are some people who actually think that even for a normal PV this is a good video. And they are allowed to think that. Now, I know that nobody didn't allow anyone not to think or like whatever they wanted to but I did notice some unnecessary comments (like "ppl who don't know that much about design are loving this, rolling eyes" e.t.c.) that kind of makes a fool out of the people who actually enjoyed this video. That is quite a typical master suppression technique and that is what people are reacting of here. People will always give out their oppinions in this forum, it's what this place is for, but there is no need to ridicule anyones oppinion. |
REALLY???
|
Watching the video surprised and confused the hell out of me.
I don't agree with this at all... |
i don't think it's that great, with a song like Duty it deserves the best of the best.
but it's just a panchiko video so i don't really care and she looks good |
I thought it was pure awesomeness. I really love the first part where she was singing to herself in the mirror. That look is so days esque era.

^Well, it's also your opinion that she should have more storyline videos...
Still, as much as I like those too, endless sorrow and alterna being some of her best, I didn't like this one plot-wise too... Even if it had amazing design and the best CGI on market, I wouldn't really like it... |
thanks for sharing!
|
How completely random. I kind of liked it though!
|
I don't really see "any" story here. Just scenes poorly put together (ok I got the idea of a princess being trapped by a demon and saved by an army of angels... but ok that's it). I prefer a no-story (yet beautiful) PV than something that uninspired anc cliché.
And while I was saying it was bad, I didn't speak about the CGi effects. I don't care there, because the rest is much worse to me. AND it's really ok if people thinks it's awesome and so on. :shrug. Don't take things personally. It's just a matter of opinion. No problem about that at all. The thing is that, if you're into arts (movies etc) you can choose to follow some rules or not. Almost everything is subjective to a certain extent. It really fits the pachinko image too so that's ok if it's cheap. I'm just sad they used such a song. I'd rather have this with a song that I hate haha. |
I think the video actually makes alot of sense. Like in Misa's example:

|
I thought it's gonna be smth epic about the end of the world or war. but it looks like a part of FF game or smth. all these enemies & stuff. and Shu-ya again, eww.
|
I don't think it's THAT bad, even if the CG isn't up to more modern standards.
As for the little anime clip on page 5... actually, I rather like it. *shrug* |
You guys this was made for Pachinko. It totally fits a game such as that so I don't mind it. It wasn't meant to be a usual PV.
|
if they did a pv for Duty, i hope they can do pvs for every a-side on H !!!
At least for another pachinko |
^I think it'd be great if they did that and also videos for all four A songs :3.
|
Quote:
And the dress style too... Very "Days" like. As it has been released as an official PV for "Duty", I think it will be included in the next album perhaps... |
