Well- that's true... but if such a large chunk of the PV was shot in that one scene... cutting it out would be hard, ne?

I really liked the PV. And that robot guy. I don't see why people are whining so much. It's never good enough for them.

If Ayu does something, it's never good. And if she doesn't do something, it's not good again.

Ayu made the rest of the PV'S(About You, Humming 7/4, and walking proud) to appreciate her fans support. In three days. She had to make quick because the album was soon going to be released. I don't think that those PV's were even planned at first.

Well, they would've called "CUT!" on the spot, if they they didn't want it. I don't think it would've ran under the directors' radar, if it didn't ran under ours.

I really thought that the pop-and-lock guy was going to attack Ayu at one point in the video. They show him walking towards her quickly, menacingly, and the angles really focus on his approach...but then the PV just goes back to Ayu singing. I was confused.

I think it's a very good video. I like the concept, Ayu looks great, the final shot makes you wonder what's underneath the cloth. I don't get some stuff but yeah, it's Ayu! There's always some weird stuff on her PV anyway. Maybe there's a relation with the song's lyrics? Or she's trying to express another emotion? I don't know.

I don't mind the weird malfunctional guy. The PV is overally amazing. I won't dislike it for a such little detail.

You don't have to take this thread that way. All I'm saying is that the guy was distracting and I wanted to get people's take on his significance and presense there. I'm not critisizing it saying that it was a horrible PV just because of that guy. I all ready said I liked some of the imagery--- besides, we're not true fans if we just say EVERYTHING is good, are we? That's just saying we're blind. And while some people critisize everything, there are those who don't and like to voice their opinions as to why they don't agree with some things.

Don't make things black and white- "you like everything or you hate everything". That's not being objective at all.

Besides, it's not like anyone here doesn't appreciate Ayu's efforts in making the PV. We do or else we wouldn't have watched it and have been making comments on it.

Hey- even if the PV only took one day to shoot, then maybe that's one of the reasons something distracting was allowed to happen? I don't wanna say "half-ass", but if it only took one day and was without much planning, things like that happen. What can we expect? I'm just saying I personally didn't think having him there was a good idea.

^^ If you hate the part with the weird guy so much, skip the part. LOL. :D

I probably will- which sux because I like the song so much ;_;

On second thought, maybe I'll just grit my teeth and try super hard to focus on Ayu instead of him moving in the bg. I'll do it for the sake of the music. Ayu- carry me through, please.

Well, then you don't have to watch the PV. Just listen to the music instead. I downloaded the PV too, but i don't even watch it even more. Sometime, i feel like i'm wasting my time downloading those 'cause i rarely watch them.

Or else, you can cover the weird guy with your hands LOL!

how come everytime someone is dressed extravegantly they're automatically "Taking the spotlight off of ayu"? just like peco.

lol.... i was really :thud when i saw this... what creative thinking you have

Yes. Sorry. You're right. I was a bit rude. :headache

i'm glad somebody made a thread on that idiot. first of all, he takes away attention from ayu. last i checked, it wasn't his song or pv. second of all, doing the robot dance to convey that you're a robot is cliche as hell. thirdly, HE SUCKS AT THE ROBOT. he's not even good at what he does! i'm sure ayu could've enlisted the help of one of her 95 or something dancers to do it thirty times better. the pv being made in one day is no excuse for something like that to happen. the director needs to be shot. i really enjoyed the pv other than the robot guy, he totally ruined it for me.

Why are you bashing on the robot guy? He didn't do anything wrong. It wasn't his idea. It was the idea of the director of the PV to make him dance and move like that. What makes you think he's trying to get more attention than Ayu? He's on the background. Ayu is in front. :irked

i agree, the director sucks too. and i don't care if it wasn't his choice to do the robot or distract viewers, that just makes him a tool. as far as him getting more attention, i'm saying (like many others would agree) that his dancing takes away from the audience's attention to ayu, which is probably not what anybody wanted. and that's regardless of where he's placed on the set. and i think you're digging too deep to defend some guy we'll never meet. i don't like him, his presence ruined the pv for me, end of story.

*claps in agreement*

First it's Peco, now we have the extra in walking proud 's PV or its director... *sigh
