Missing isn't my cup of tea. Beautiful scenery, but I hope there will happen something more.

Song 4 u looks great so far, nice concept! It's not original, but I hope it turns into a twist at the end and some action, then I'll love it!

Why there's two lines in between? Shouldn't be 4 lines instead?

Thanks! The PVs looks awesome!

Why won't Avex just upload the full PVs? They're seriously so backwards

How do CD+DVD sales fare in Korea? I think avex is afraid people won't shell out their money if they can watch it on YouTube.

That's what AYU is , love all this PVs~

is there anyone that has mentioned but...

THE 2 PVS PUT AYU IN THE FOCUS AGAIN!!! no dancers and other people that share the limelight (well..i see the stuntmen in Missing as part of the art of the PV)

im so pleased :)

AYU IS BACK ! this is the real ayu with wonderful masterpiece

Must not hit play!

The Ayu I know and love is back! I'm soooo happy! :smitten

These songs/PVs are original and unique, just like Ayu's music should be. I can't wait for more and I'll totally buy this album!! :heart

I love these PVs, especially Song 4 u. What an interesting concept! I really want to see the whole thing now.

By the way, did anyone notice they uploaded them in 1080p ? Amazing ! :laugh
I think "You & Me" was uploaded in HD but only 720p.

I'm impressed with how professional the P/Vs look. I think I like 'Missing' a lot more. I feel like something better or bigger is going to happen in the full version? Maybe Ayu will float up into the air too? lol 'Song 4 u' not crazy about the PV, I mean its cool, but it looks so bland being in a just a white room. Not much is actually going on, but in the full version I hope there is more to it than just boring white room with chess board and black/white ayu walks up to each other and one fades and disappears.

Meh the PVs look boring. Hope the full version will be more interesting~

Wow.. I really love Missing.

Missing sounded nice & the video looked pretty. Song 4 U sounded really boring, although the video looked cool.

Ayu looks greaaat in Song 4 u (all 4 Ayus hehee). I hope to see her in those hair styles/colour more often and not just music videos! The long straight hair with the bangs in front looks great on her. Reddish-black, white, grey, blonde (hbya) haha :D

totally this

Stunning PVs

Missing just brought me to tears, can't wait to hear the full song but i'm so afraid to read a translation of the lyrics, i don't know if i'll ever be able to listen to the song again if those are too painful haha.
I love both pvs otherwise, i'm in love with song 4 u's concept :love

I like the feel of Missing, it's nice to see her in a natural setting. The floating people was a bit off putting, but it's nice to see her change it up. Didn't blow me away.

Eh, Song 4 u was alright, nice concept, but it didn't really impress me. It feels rather... empty? I hope she changes it up at the end because it's been done sooooo many times that she best do something great with it.

Started watching the Song 4 u PV and was like:

http://i47.tinypic.com/2l8jgw.gif

^I know right x)
I can't wait for the end of the PV, it better not be just a plain fight between all these clones! Seriously if it turns out to be that good during 4 minutes, it might be my favourite PV since Don't look back -which makes me think I'm insanely in love with schizophrenic Ayu...

Please Ayu, we need epicness after what you shot for Party Queen !

The fact that many of you prefer this kind of ayu music blows my mind. No wonder some of you haven't been satisfied for years lol.

Aww, I wanted to see more of that chess battle!

Missing is incredible the best ayu pv

Wow, Missing sounds incredible in higher quality. The PV looks beautifully shot but it kind of bored me so far. Hopefully the full thing is better. The Song 4 U PV looks so awesome!!! :heart And she looks stunningggg. Yay :D

It almost feels like this stuff could have followed NEXT LEVEL as a release.
The songs aren't SPECTACULAR but they are very enjoyable so far!

YES YES

This is what I'm talking about. High quality PVs for both beautiful songs. Thank goodness.
I was afraid of a Party Queen PVs part II yuck. I'll buy the CD+DVD version now :heart

I think these PVs may end up being mostly what we see now but with 'twists' at the end much like the Love songs PVs.

And as for people 'preferring' this type of Ayu music over... whatever else, I don't really think that's the case. I would rather see people satisfied than talking about how 'X or Y' was better than what the most recent release was.

Am I the only one who thinks Ayu is not looking good at Missing pv? and also, she's on the camera way less than usual (at least than old school ayu)

WTF is with Ayu fans and their obsession with her being 'original'? It's like if she doesn't do something totally different, never seen before, EVERY SINGLE TIME, it makes it less worthy... but then the general fandom seems to prefer her most generic songs...

Anyway, Ayu looks gorgeous in both pv's and I'm looking forward to seeing them in their entirety :D

Seems about right for the song imo. The concept seems to be emphasizing how alone Ayu is which is why we see mostly emptiness (and floating men) around her.

Song 4 u really got me excited! The fashion/makeup team did a tremendous job on this one and I'm really looking forward to it. I love those semi-fantasy almost surreal themes like in STEP you, Marionette and SURREAL.

I wouldn't mind them being basically like what we have now IF there is a good twist. Song 4 U could be cool if it was just a proper fight between the queens (and not just a stupid face-to-face staring-at-each-other-contest), but I really can't see a link with the lyrics !
Missing needs a twist though, or at least a proper storyline, because I can't stand 5 minutes of Ayu pretending to cry without any reason !

I'm REALLY excited at the moment, these clips seem to be the best ones since Rock'n'Roll Circus, I hope I'm not expecting too much !

Well, when this was done with Kelly Rowland's Commander, all they did was stare at each other, haha. (well, they also dance battle)


Directed by Masashi Muto (we don't know if he did these two PVs though)

I have to agree. I'll take her more experimental songs any day (or Love songs tracks, which nailed the nostalgia feel perfectly without feeling uninspred) over a track like Missing, which we've heard rehashed countless times before.

And people bagging on PQ videos, I think Return Road was one of her best PVs in recent memory. It wasn't all that bad.

I know! I'm so confused :laugh

Yay for fans being happy for once but odd that it is her generic stuff that seems to be favored after YEARS of complaining for her to do something different lol. I guess FIVE/Party Queen was too much to handle! :roflmao

OMG I want these as the end of Song 4 u. LOL

Both look very promising. S4u is my favorite so far, because I like Ayu's "weird" PVs. Missing looks great; I wonder if the floating bodies are symbolic or part of a story, or just aesthetic (I'm hoping for the former). Very excited for both of these!

I really like both PV's, and the songs (the short versions) are amazing in high quality, it's like the classic ayu sound ^_^. She doesn't need to go to London to shot something good !!!

And I'm imagining Timmy's floating in the Missing's PV, XD

She never fails to impress me... Come on Nov. 8, hurry up already!

what ever happened to Kouki Tange?? I really miss the creepy videos he did with Ayu ):

YEA!!!!
and i hope Hideaki Sunaga comes back too

i have a feeling we are gonna be disappointed LOL
i mean...Masashi Muto did do ones like crossword and You were..., which were more subtle pieces but also did Microphone, Sexy Little Things, Ladies Night which were really really whoa (but with the help of extra models...his PVs with Ayu as the center usually...dont go that far)
that's provided Masashi Muto directed S4u and Missing.

Kouki is still doing his work with Mr.Children/ayaka/MONKEY MAJIK, so he's still around.

http://www.yellow-brain.com/blog/

丹下 紘希 / Kouki Tange is such an awesome creative director aghhh~

^Oh yeah I love MONKEY MAJIK too

Now that those damned midterms are over, full anticipation for this CD's release can commence!

That is awesome! I love Alexander McQueen's designs. This is definitely a plus. ;)

Missing sounds to me like it could have perfectly fit onto the Love songs album.

And so it does sound very nostalgic to me.

I also like her braids :-\ Reminds me of 2002 ish?

But I'm also worried that Song 4 u will not go anywhere... that'd be sad. I'm just so curious as to how she'll belt out the chorus once it gets stronger...

I really loove both of them! <3
Missing is P E R F E C T and I'm waiting for FULL Song 4 u !

Just thinking about the Song 4 u PV
It has the potential to be epic! Imagine Ayu going all out on Ayu when the chorus breaks out. Holy mowly. A Chess Cat Fight.

I thought S4U its gonna be like more kicking ass, smashing thingy, black and white blood then sword fighting. Literally. Like Madonna Die another day music video. Well, I guess I'm putting my wish too high.

Missing (not the PV) reminds reminds me of Free & Easy in the sense that it's one of those songs you don't expect to get loud at a random point. It sounds like something that could fit on Love songs. The PV is interesting. I like it. Song 4 u totally sounds like 90s ayu. The PV is cool. I like what I'm hearing and seeing.

Both look and sound great so far!

can't wait full version
huaaa...

I would LOVE if he worked with Ayu again! ourselves and alterna are two of my favorite PVs! (especially alterna!)

Wait n see...the two queens shake hands after the match and merge into one ayu...lOL

While I still think both pvs are pretty boring so far, I am glad that just Ayu was the focus finally!

I keep replaying Missing and Song 4 u's previews... getting super pumped up for Missing in full! I LOVE the chorus and prechorus. So catchy!

Do the effects look really cheap in Song 4 U to anyone else? Looks like she's floating/hovering over the chess board and not actually standing on it.

these look nice! i'm pretty satisfied with the overall look of them, especially Missing. Song 4 U has a nice concept too. i hope the queens kill each other or something ahahahaha

I hope that thorn crown that Ryan was holding in one of his photos ends up in the PV.

Maybe the loser gets crucified?

anyone can translated missing lyric ●๋• ρℓєαѕє......

tenshi no hane translated the bit that's in the video. Rather touching imo.

Missing is like continuation of Why...

“I want to see you” and “I’m lonely”
Why couldn’t we say these phrases more often? 「Why...」

not a big deal, anyway

short version of Song 4 u on M-ON tv
http://i.imgur.com/mPEbe.jpg

I think she is really standing on the platform and playing each character once. You can see they are not the same. The only thing that bothers me is the integration, I spotted a semi transparent "black ayu". The lighting on her cleavage is weird too next to the "white ayu".

^to bot of you, i noticed that stuff too, at some places where her feet toches the ground there's no shadow.... the lighting is also weird...*shrugs*... i mean there should be a shadow under if the lighting is from above, because when she walkt at times it looks like she's passing a point were on the celing there's a light bulb missing and gets shadowy.....it's odd..

how you want to see shadows on luminous floor? %)

this pv`s is wonderful! waiting full version.

Guys,
the game that is showing in “Song 4 u” PV is not a Chess or rather...
it is a Checkers :yes

i missed that picture...but it give me hope for something interesting to happen! :yes

it's checkers + chess + ayu interpretation
pawns are in one cell from each other like at checkers, queens (without kings btw) from chess
and white ayu stand on black cells, while black stand on white

omg I forgot about this crown
awwwww can't wait to see the rest of PV *_*

picture for people who didn't see it:
http://distilleryimage7.instagram.co...0a1fbcd5_7.jpg

^thanks for uploading the picture! i have no doubt it'll be in the PV.

er well i saw shadows on that floor and no shadow on there where it wasn't luminous ;p i thought that was weird too....

Very excited for these to be released to everyone soon :)

it may be in... another pv. But crown fits queen so we will see :)

i think the white ayus cast a bigger shadow than the black ayus because the black ayus are on the actual lighted parts of the floor?

I think that's just a side-effect of the way that they did the lighting in the room. The black Ayus cast a very small shadow that isn't as prominent as the white Ayus'.

While the queen Ayus are walking, you can see some slight shadows appearing on them, perhaps from the way they did the set design or the lighting rig?

I think we have to wait till the release date for the full PV's, T_T

^noooooo don't say that
that's what I thought too when I saw the screen caps

Gone for two days and this happens!!
lol... I dont want to watch them though... gonna wait for the DVD!

Okay, I lied... I just watched Song 4 U... wow...
It looks like it has great potential, can't wait for the full version!

^ It can be epic.
Let;s hope ayu doesn't drop a bomb with Song 4 u's PV.

^ yeah... At first I though the pieces of ayu were going to be like a game of chess, but I dont think its going to be like that...
then i thought it would of been cool if it was all the different Ayumi's we had seen throughout her career... she is singing the song for herself...
but it didn't turn out to be that either... ahhh.. man.

^ I still think there's gonna be a cat fight. They can't let that epic chorus go to waste.

Loving Song 4 u, looks very promising. That chest concept looks interesting too.

As for Missing. Ayu in the nature - beautiful. Flying half naked dancers - why. Seriously wtf.

^ from what I got, it wasn't flying but they were dancing in slow motion??

Im glad she changed her mind about what song gets a PV, because this is so much better.

^Never liked dancers in ballads MVs / live performances. They ruin atmosphere of the song for me with those slow awkward dancing moves. Each to his own tho.

S4U!!! yessseyesyyses ah, perfection. Back to the kind of music I love from ayu, with a quirky PV nonetheless!

http://ww3.sinaimg.cn/large/4b034f65tw1dy6ez0ybifj.jpg
you can watch Song 4 u and Missing full version via BeeTV now

^ O.O really??? Hope someone posts them soon

Doesn't BeeTV work only on cellphones?

Yeah it is. It's a mobile service.

^
^
yes and only some specific phones in Japan

well, for us it means 0 chances to see full PVs =(

^last time Don't look back recorded full version is leaked from BeeTV too

loving it!! thank YOU!

I hope someone will record it ! I wanna know if there is a twist !

i really really hope that theres something interesting or shocking going to happen among Ayu and Ayu especially between the Queens! please Ayu dont waste the PV,it looks great so far :yes

as for Missing, i would love for something sad or heartfelt throughout the story line not just Ayu walking alone in the field please.

as this is happen for Moon PV, i thought that shes going to kill herself or what but no,nothing really shocking or surprising :thud
