Yeah, the cinematography makes me think it's someone who actually directs PVs often, haha. It's rather well done, which makes me think Wataru, but Takahide's always a possibility since he pops up all the time.

And as for Kazuyoshi's thing with her, it was for the covers in Bali.

It feels Ishii to me hahha...
I didnt expect her to pull off a meaningful PV especially for Sunrise which has that crowd feeling going on...Well she could but...I think this fun, outdoor concert concept is apt. Sunset was surprisingly stunning..because it was also a concert kinda PV. I thought she would sing it alone against the sunset...

Im actually really happy for that great stage set there...it makes the whole thing look so grand and spectacular.

But perhaps her next single's PV will have that slight meaning and plotline in it. WHo noes, as long as it's good and pleasing to the eye, anything's fine

Just out of curiosity are Ayu's PV directors also the cinematographer? Cause it usually isn't the same person in films.

I don't care who made the PVs. Actually, I even don't know who used to produce her PVs before. It's just the thing that doesn't bother me. I guess I'm not such a hard-die-fan^^ I sometimes check who composes the music, but the tiny little details about Ayu, unless if it's smth really interesting or I need it for some reason, aren't important to me.

Anyway, Sunset seems amazing, Sunrise seems like a fun. Too bad I won't be here to get the full leak of PVs and the single :( I hope this single will chart better than BLUE BIRD :D That would be so cool for Ayu! These songs are just perfect for summer...

Well a good fun PV occasionally from Ayu is fine with me. :yes

And haha, Wataru... you would think she saved all the money to hire him eh? XD But Ishii is a high possibility too... since he can actually direct decent PVs~

She does hire him often, but he only is present to film her concert interlude videos and CMs. -sigh-

^ Yeah I know he directs her concert videos and all... which is well good as well since we get to see good videos during concerts after all lol.

Oh I'm loving how orange-y Sunset is... it's so beautiful yet bittersweet...

I was thinking Wataru myself! :D

Yeah, Takahide Ishii also does some of them and its rather noticable when he does, haha.

I wasn't looking forward to concert-themed PVs, but these actually seem fun. I'm glad they're outdoors.

not really liking both PVs. they seem too simple. maybe they'll be better in full (but i think i'll like sunrise's PV better)

btw, i really don't like "sunset" :no

Wow sunset is very pretty ^^ the pv's have a very fresh feel to them. i wanna hear sunset full!!

I'm loving the clips!! I really don't see the point though now (after seeing how much having the same melody can make the songs sound the same) of having it as a double a-side single when its basically a softer version of Sunrise with slightly different lyrics but oh well! I'm happy ( :yes ). Very nice PV...

oh...it's just Sunrise slowed down, minus the heavy guitar, add some strings...

Well...I like the look of the Sunset PV...

Everything else is...nice....I guess.

I think I psyched myself out for Sunset...I expected an original ballad...when I really shouldn't have, at all...in fact, because it's supposed to be like Sunrise...it would be even less original than a new song. But hopefully Japan eats this up. You know how they like their ________ ballads.

You did? Even after she said that Sunset was born after she was like, "..can I make this into a ballad?" Haha.

I'm sorry but I don't really like it... or should I say, nothing special? sunset is better tho :)

I love it. It's got such a great atmosphere, and it's like a mini-concert but on the coolest stage EVAR. It looks original, fun, and very summery. I'd freakin' kill for Ayu to do an actual concert on that stage.

And lol @ all this talk about directors. Watch everyone love it and then find out Kazuyoshi directed it and then suddenly hate it. :innocent

Well, Kazuyoshi can't have directed it, the cinematography makes too much sense!

Of course. :rolleyes
