I like the feel of Missing, it's nice to see her in a natural setting. The floating people was a bit off putting, but it's nice to see her change it up. Didn't blow me away.

Eh, Song 4 u was alright, nice concept, but it didn't really impress me. It feels rather... empty? I hope she changes it up at the end because it's been done sooooo many times that she best do something great with it.

Started watching the Song 4 u PV and was like:

!Lawi! 22nd October 2012 09:27 PM

^I know right x)
I can't wait for the end of the PV, it better not be just a plain fight between all these clones! Seriously if it turns out to be that good during 4 minutes, it might be my favourite PV since Don't look back -which makes me think I'm insanely in love with schizophrenic Ayu...

Please Ayu, we need epicness after what you shot for Party Queen !

The fact that many of you prefer this kind of ayu music blows my mind. No wonder some of you haven't been satisfied for years lol.

Aww, I wanted to see more of that chess battle!

Missing is incredible the best ayu pv

Wow, Missing sounds incredible in higher quality. The PV looks beautifully shot but it kind of bored me so far. Hopefully the full thing is better. The Song 4 U PV looks so awesome!!! :heart And she looks stunningggg. Yay :D

It almost feels like this stuff could have followed NEXT LEVEL as a release.
The songs aren't SPECTACULAR but they are very enjoyable so far!

YES YES

This is what I'm talking about. High quality PVs for both beautiful songs. Thank goodness.
I was afraid of a Party Queen PVs part II yuck. I'll buy the CD+DVD version now :heart

I think these PVs may end up being mostly what we see now but with 'twists' at the end much like the Love songs PVs.

And as for people 'preferring' this type of Ayu music over... whatever else, I don't really think that's the case. I would rather see people satisfied than talking about how 'X or Y' was better than what the most recent release was.

Am I the only one who thinks Ayu is not looking good at Missing pv? and also, she's on the camera way less than usual (at least than old school ayu)

kagami 22nd October 2012 11:13 PM

WTF is with Ayu fans and their obsession with her being 'original'? It's like if she doesn't do something totally different, never seen before, EVERY SINGLE TIME, it makes it less worthy... but then the general fandom seems to prefer her most generic songs...

Anyway, Ayu looks gorgeous in both pv's and I'm looking forward to seeing them in their entirety :D

Seems about right for the song imo. The concept seems to be emphasizing how alone Ayu is which is why we see mostly emptiness (and floating men) around her.

Song 4 u really got me excited! The fashion/makeup team did a tremendous job on this one and I'm really looking forward to it. I love those semi-fantasy almost surreal themes like in STEP you, Marionette and SURREAL.

I wouldn't mind them being basically like what we have now IF there is a good twist. Song 4 U could be cool if it was just a proper fight between the queens (and not just a stupid face-to-face staring-at-each-other-contest), but I really can't see a link with the lyrics !
Missing needs a twist though, or at least a proper storyline, because I can't stand 5 minutes of Ayu pretending to cry without any reason !

I'm REALLY excited at the moment, these clips seem to be the best ones since Rock'n'Roll Circus, I hope I'm not expecting too much !

Well, when this was done with Kelly Rowland's Commander, all they did was stare at each other, haha. (well, they also dance battle)


Directed by Masashi Muto (we don't know if he did these two PVs though)

I have to agree. I'll take her more experimental songs any day (or Love songs tracks, which nailed the nostalgia feel perfectly without feeling uninspred) over a track like Missing, which we've heard rehashed countless times before.

And people bagging on PQ videos, I think Return Road was one of her best PVs in recent memory. It wasn't all that bad.

I know! I'm so confused :laugh

Yay for fans being happy for once but odd that it is her generic stuff that seems to be favored after YEARS of complaining for her to do something different lol. I guess FIVE/Party Queen was too much to handle! :roflmao

Jester 22nd October 2012 11:47 PM

OMG I want these as the end of Song 4 u. LOL

Spoiler:



or this

*hearT_Place* 23rd October 2012 12:13 AM

Both look very promising. S4u is my favorite so far, because I like Ayu's "weird" PVs. Missing looks great; I wonder if the floating bodies are symbolic or part of a story, or just aesthetic (I'm hoping for the former). Very excited for both of these!
