looking forward to watch these new PVs...liked the past ones

acutally i find the PVs ok SINCE PVs WERE NEVER SOMETHING I WOULD CONSTANTLY REMEMBER...

SONG QUALITY matters more

but after reading all the dislike...I now find those two PVs quite plain..and yes, the transitions are really bad...

BUT the ART DIRECTION is still amazing...just that the director didnt carry it out.

Since Ayu is NOT doing an outdoor shoot (most prob)...i wanna see how this goes.
I noe ALL our hopes arnt very high now...but o well...

Seriously...Ayu doesn't know whats going on outside her bubble

Well, I think it will be interesting to see her "transformed"

O_O again?

for me these are good news ^^

ohh.. I dun like the vids he directed.. lolz.

omg..
i really miss her simple PVs without the dancers.. 'cos she's been doing great in HANABI-episode II- in term of body language and expression.
Please..i need more PVs like that..

hey..... Kazuyoshi Shimomura isn't that bad.... i love his work....
it makes her PV more interactive and rather..... unusual... and "wuow".... hahahhahahaa ^___^

She seems to be great friends with her dancers though and we've seen how she can cut through and be pro about it if things don't work out even if it might hurt them, like she did when she cut the whole aerial cloth dance in AT07. Maybe she honestly thinks he's great. :tired

On another note, if the MW PV is on the album, that will mean half of the album PVs will be by Kazuyoshi. :dead2

Well......I am still looking forward to the new pv^^!!!

MW and GREEN wasn't bad PVs ^^
I hope he'll do better in this PV :D

oh shaaaa EE TTT D:~ >> eee...

Well, we know one thing for sure, she´'ll be walking a lot at the beginning XD lol

Thank you for this, I liked Mirrorcle World and Green, so this isn't bad news for me~

HAHAHA! AT LEAST SHE KNOWS SHE "takes strange pauses".
This makes me suspect if it's avex's fault for this horrid director. D<

I think that most people thought they were meaningful but don't like them because of poor directing, execution and making ayu make "over" melodramatic acts.

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :( :( :(

let's write a petition to avex saying to fire that man!!!!!:thud

can I say this bad four-letter word starting with F??? :eviltongu
I want to shout that

:dead2

I already see the horrid booklet with Ayufierce-fishmounth-hilarious-poses
and PV like MW

I will kill myself the day I see it :thud

Mirrorcle World was awesome
GREEN was a bit weird but good

i dont mind another pv from this guy... i just hope they get the right shoots, like in MW the shoots were wayy better than in GREEN

Wow, you and I don't think alike. Frankly, I don't care if Ayu looks pretty in it. Of course it's a plus if she does. But what's the point of watching a crappy PV just because she looks pretty in it?

If we complain, it's because most do not like "MW" and "GREEN". If you do, then that's great for you. But I personally don't like them. Dramatic and power is fine to me. "ourselves" was dramatic and "alterna" was quite powerful. Both great PVs. But in "MW" and "GREEN", it's way too exaggerated. And Ayu's acting is simply terrible. And this director always makes Ayu do that.

Compared to previous PVs this is such crap >,> I mean, honestly. Her Memorial Address PVs except ANGEL'S SONG completely own the PVs for this album so far.

How odd :S
She's think it's strange and stupid, yet she still keeps him around.
He's an awful director :/
His videos suck :(

Even Days? :eyes

Ah ignore me! I'm just a biased person who loves Days too much. :thud

^ I like Days too, but by comparison it does not stand up to her previous works either - especially not the MA era.

Oh but at least the crying was better in Days, as compared to HANABI ~episode II~ LOL

OMG!

it better be different from green and MW pv!!

Sparkle better not be getting a PV now... >.<

oh GOD, we don't need another from him :(

omg no way. the crying was even worse in the Days pv. and her acting was terrible.

Ahaha I doubt I'll be making any logical comments when Days is involved... I'll just be too biased! My apologies!

P.S: Days is really my favorite :love:luv2

Yeah I miss PVs like ourselves and alterna...

Days is not really that great of a PV...but I kinda let if off the hook...because I sort of see it as one of those "joke" PVs...

like it's not really a "joke" but it's like one of those PVs where she does something special...so it's not really like a regular PV...the same for ANGELS SONG.

And a lot of people like Days because it's like cuteness x1000.

but anyway...Ayu is a horrible actress...especially in her PVs. I don't understand why she feels the need to exaggerate EVERY gesture or walk...like people won't understand that she's just walking somewhere.


I really hope the video is not for Sparkle...and with all these TA messages about PVs and stuff...do we have a better idea if MW is going to be on the album?

I thought her acting was really good in Days, much better than in GREEN. I guess it's because I really felt it when she started to cry (as I did as well xD; ). I think if she had really good direction, she could do better.

I liked both MW and GREEN, bt i do wish that he does something a little different this time....

*sigh* We'll see...

Hmmn... yeah, in the end Days is not that great in overall. But it gives me the feeling that I got from the old pvs. I must admit her great pvs were done in pre-Ma and a few in (m)u era (STEP you, alterna, etc). The thing is 80% of her pvs in the past 3 years sucked. So if there's a generally fine pv coming out (i.e., Days), everyone would feel so great, especially a really horrible GREEN pv just came out a few days before this fine pv. :P

Argh! This guy???? Where has all the good PV director gone? D: But hopefully, this one will be slightly better than GREEN. :P

WHY, GOD, WHY?!?!?!!

...And she doesn't ever speak about him in a good light. I'm starting to think she doesn't get to choose her pv directors or something.

Edit:

I just saw some of the videos he directed...He's always making these girls do "fierce" poses and they all fail miserably. Ugh, it's so annoying.

This will be interesting. I liked both MW and Green PV's so we shall see :3

Hate this, Really do. Reminds me of when I spoke about it on my Thought of the Day

That picture says it all.

I can't stand anymore of her exaggerated facial expressions. It's getting even more annoying than the constant appearances of her ugly-looking dancers.

It's like when you marry a guy...

and then you discover that you've actually married into his whole weird/annoying family.

That's what being an Ayu fan these days is about.

It's no longer just her....it's her, plus her ugly dancers, plus her band, plus Shimoko.

See I would LOVE a video like the old days. Just her singing and with a nice good story and not pointless dancing. But people change for the worse I guess. Well in regards to videos anyway

I look forward to this pv... I liked both of his pv's

Yeah...it's kinda sad, actually. You don't just get Ayu, but you get the dancers, Peco and Princess, her entire band...it's just too much to handle sometimes :headache

Ayumi Hamasaki is a package deal, not sold separately...

I wonder if her other (better) directors sit back and laugh because they know they could have done a much better job than this guy :(

Hahaha her exaggerated acting/expressions appear more in recent PVs, especially Mirrorcle World and GREEN, and well we know who directs those. ;)

I would just to be so disappointed if NEXT LEVEL had a PV and it were to be directed by that guy (I can't even remember his name!)!

lawl. cant wait to see the creature shes gonna be. i didnt like that creature in ANGELS SONG -___-
hey... CREA....CREAture... O_O

Hmmn.. I have another thought... Ayu is a piece of product placing inside a plastic bag (her fierceness and diva-ish look), with some useless accessories (dancers, peco and princess) around. They are surrounded (or stuck) inside the foam and cardbox (her band). In addition there's a useless manual (director), which you never wanna read... :innocent

MW wasn't great but I thought GREEN was awesome. I don't know what to expect.

:roflmao

That sounds like a great buy! xD;

eww, she cried for shuya. I could feel with her if they casted a real hottie, but it was shuya. how am I supposed to shed a tear for shuya? x_x she needs better looking dancers if she wants to open the public flood gates. :dead2

Shuya is a real hottie. :'(

LOL. Hmm... good luck to you. ;)

Haha! That's gold!


btw, anyone know how to change passwords?
Someone's been getting in my account >.<

:roflmao

I replaced him with someone who did the same thing to me in my own life so... yeah hahaha

1. Click on "User CP" (Control Panel)
2. Click on "Edit Email and Password"

Act ASAP :P.

thanks for sharing!

thanks for the news

I think this is Ayu's idea of change, she's breaking out of the old ways. xD If she wants change I think she should stumble upon my millions comments on how she should do a jazz composition 8D! (Cmon, just ONCE make a super sexy jazz song XD )

thanks for the translation.

^ I really hope she turns out to be a mermaid~ i dont really know why, but i feel that she fits the whole beauty part and whatnot~

thanks :)


i hope it turns out good!

I think it's ok. MW and GREEN are great, the next PV will be great too. And no matter what you think about it! xD

hmmm... I don't have such a good feeling about this... wonder what it'll be like? I hope it will be good, so I'll have to wait and see (-_-)

thx for the translation
