purpurin. sounds like an engrish version of purple. purpre.

Yes I love You were. I think it's so beautiful. and ayu looks so gorgeous in the pv. I love the light up dress. makes me think of that one dress from her my story tour. the transitions are amazing. but the pv leaves me thinking....what is going on? what is it about?

I love You were's PV :heart
it reminds me some of her old PVs, with random plot but visually extremely stunning.
The beginning is really cute I like that teddy-glove XD and the simply background is nice.

Now I can't wait for BALLAD PVs and it should be EPIC, right Ayu? Lol

those weren`t her dancers... they were western...

Yeah, they looked like western ballet dancers wearing GaGa-esque clothing. [FINALLY!?!?]

Sifting through here, it looks like everyone loves the PV for You were...? =\

I think it's awful. Actually, I didn't think it was serious when I saw that random bear hand puppet at the beginning. WTF? It looks cheap and gross. Those weird people look like they got rejected from being in a Lady GaGa or Olivia Lufkin video. (They kind of remind me of some of the people from FINAL DISTANCE by Hikki... but that didn't look CHEAP.)

Hopefully the PV for BALLAD will be decent. Anything except... no, anything would be better than this. xD

The song does sound super great in HQ though! And Ayu looked very beautiful. :)?

I LOVED the dancers and the cut-out trees!! :heart I was so happy to see something interesting and weird in a ballad PV!! :D So the PV itself I liked a lot! :yes

Now, someone's going to tear me a new one for saying this, but I though Ayu looked horrible. :no She looked like--someone's going to kill me, someone's going to kill me--a banshee. >_< She was so scrawny, so malnourished-looking, her dress strap made it look like 1/3 of her torso was missing, her nails in comparison to her tiny fingers, and her black eyes were kinda creepy. :weep And that face-shot scene where she's completely still made her look SO SCARY!!! LIKE A DOLL!!! :dead2

I'm sorry, don't kill me. >_< Her hair was very pretty, and the lights in her dress were super cool, but she looked like skin and bones to me. :headache I'm not saying she needs to eat more or anything, just that for some reason the lighting or the dress or everything made her looks so scrawny. :(

Ahh... a basic ayu conceptual pv. YEAH!

@ sugarbasil: I dun think her hair is that pretty.. but I agree with you that some of her facial scenes are kinda scary. I dunno why but I feel like her eyebrows were painted white and they're quite invisible sometimes. I dun like the make up at all. But I love her dress and nails tho lol.

And her hand movements were simple (something she would do before Kaz stepped in). I'm so glad that there's no tears, no exaggerated acting, etc :P.

i kinda love this PV..but i thought ayu said she'll be covered by jewel?NO???!!!
i really like the effect they are using :D

that's for the BALLAD PV :)

Are we sure about that? She was kinda body-glittery in this one, and her body was pretty kirakira with the glitter + light dress...

Maybe it was translated differently...?

I always thought that she said the diamonds thing that it will be for the BALLAD PV (as I recall there was a reason for that, it might be that it was the 2nd time she wrote she recorded a PV but I don't remember well now =P).
Unless course if she meant glitters and not diamonds.
We will have to wait for BALLAD PV to see I guess.

Just saw the You Were PV and what I have to say is - I don't know what to say. I either really love it or hate it. lol. One thing for sure though is it is definitely something different.

Do we know who the director is? I'm guessing not Kazuyoshi since her facial expressions and mouth movements actually look normal.

It's the guy who was behind Depend on you, is this LOVE? and Ladies Night, Masashi Muto.

I swear this video is making me think that the song from the perspective of a Christmas tree that has seen many Christmases go by, haha.

And the video is rather filled with GaGa-lite outfitted dancers...

^ lol possibly. And good it's about time! Finally back to one of her old directors!

Well, Sunrise/Sunset was Wataru Takeishi... so for the album, so far, so good!

Woo! I'll be a bit down if Kazuyoshi or Takahide take BALLAD though, haha.

Yeah me too. I don't count Wataru though because for some reason despite his talent, he has been getting the throw away PVs like Sunrise/Sunset and Decision. You Were is the first time in a looong time that a PV with some actual substance to it was not done by Takahide or Kazuyoshi.

^That's the thing I really want from ayu's pv. I want some (visual) meanings, not a glamorous or exaggerating ayu. If she was gonna use Kaz or Takahide for the pvs, I would rather choose the latter one. Kaz has made ZERO wonderful pvs for ayu. I was kinda 50-50 to GREEN the song itself, and the pv totally killed it. I love Sparkle, but the pv absolutely ruined the song.

At least Takahide made something nice sometimes (such as Days, momentum). :P

I guess I'm one of the few that likes the cardboard trees...and its intentional. I wouldn't like it as much if the trees are 3D. It feels like ayu is in a different dimension. This pv is just so different than her other pvs...I love it! The fade away sparkles remind me of A BEST cms.

The PV is really awesome imo.

Give me a couple of days and this crazy person would work out the symbolism, XD. And ugh Kazu can't do BALLAD, it's way too soft for him! It seems like he loves the omg kind of songs with loud beats and stuff that actually make it "logical" for him to get Ayu to do stupid faces.
