I thought the diamonds were for BALLAD?

aren't you going to see Utada in Chicago?

xd google said me this XD let me search again a translation por the spanish word "purpurina" XD

....

I found purpurin again... aix... "purpurina" is a briliant powder, you know?? normally people use it for plastic works... or dancers put it over her arms and face so they skin will bright with the focus... I don't know if I explained it well...

you're probably right.

and yeah, i will definitely be in chicago to see utada.

oh, and walking.proud, i understand now. i thought maybe you were talking about the lights under her dress.

a shimmering makeup?

wikipedia says:

so i'm not sure...i assume its the shimmeriness on her skin, but not sure if purpurin is the right thing or not.

The PV is BRILLIANT.

The idea might revolve around the "we are the marionettes of our brains/minds" theme.
Besides the meaningful strangeness, it's really pretty and so is the song.

Kudos to ayu and the director.

honestly im sorry but do i have the feeling ayu suffers from same-scene haapening-for-a-whole-minute syndrome

The PV is amazing.... It's a little scary though (:laugh) but makes it even more fascinating. I hope to see lots of interperations over this! There were many parts that left me curious for explanation.

I love her dress and the use of those light/sprinkle effects. The song has even gotten better with this PV. :yes I love the dark feel.

My thoughts on the PV: . . . . . .

It's making me lol in the worst way possible, but I love the song.

I love You were... as a song. It's lovely and even better in full and HQ.

The PV.. she looked nice, I liked her dress & make-up but scraped back hair never works for her :no and that shimmery thing all over her made her look sweaty instead of glittery.

The effects were so pretty though and I liked the weird dressed dancers. It's probably all meaningful but I didn't understand it lol What ayumisreal said makes good sense though!

The only complaints I have is I wish she moved around more and the background looked cheap.. the trees looked like cardboard cut outs

^they were cardboard cut outs...

Those trees remind me of a street in Tokyo, Japan with white trees that are decorated for Christmas and light up at night. Does anyone know what I mean? I'm curious to know what that street is.

Well yeah okay, but was it intentional? Like, is it supposed to be obvious that they are?

Probably, if they wanted them to look better, they would have made them look like the ones in JEWEL.

The video is out?! Must find it!

It is so obvious they do it on purpose.

I am curious if ayu the plug of the lighting in her dress under her feet. It is because she cannot move, but she seems want to move! :(

I'm sure the cardboard cutout trees were intentional, it fits in with all the other strange on-goings in that PV. It felt sort of...boring though? I don't like her hair, though the effects are actually beautiful.

maybe the battery pack would fall out?

Or they are too heavy and ayu cannot even walk with them. ayu is only around 5' and she needs to do the best effect for the PV and carries all these heavy stuff.. :(

I like the You were PV... but.. it would be better without the dancers. Are this her dancers? I don't know. But.. I would be better without them.. I think.
SO.. I can't wait for BALLAD PV.
