Step by step PV short version
 

Weird that we got the last few mins of the pv rather than the first... So far it looks good.

Looks good, seems to have a clear story.
And I always love how she looks natural with city scenery like in Mgr

What an depressing video with such an happy song. Loved ayu's longshot btw

She looks gorgeous as always. :)

mte. And I wonder what got into avex's mind to upload the last minutes of both Zutto and now SbS lol Still looks like an interesting PV, gimme the full version already

this looks really good. I love the fact that there is a story and some symbolism in this. I have a good feeling about this.

I like the story that seems to be portrayed, trying to escape your own fate and how that is represented by the red thread :) can't wait to see the full version!
Ayu looks gorgeous! Hopefully there will be more shots of her on that roof.

Love it :heart Nice storyline. It fits the lyrics.

Are those other girls from the tv drama?

Interesting...can't wait for a full version!

When we all thinking we will get beach PV...now we get this meaningful PV with a story...I hope everyone satisfied...

Last Minute soon will reach 1M...let's help it!

Fight for your dream and don't think that the fate is already drawing. It seems to be the message. I didn't except to get those kind of pv. Can't wait to see the full pv.

more Ayu like this

One of the girls looks really familiar... I think Ayuri Konno is the student? Funny, 'cause she also goes by "Ayu" on her blog.

Love the PV so far!

"I didn’t believe in red threads
I thought fate is something to be captured"
Trust

even though it's a short version and it began from the middle of the song, it's quite interesting.
i hope the PV will have a beginning of how the women's legs are all tied with red thread.
i thought the PV will be like very summer-ish but it's not.

This PV is such a huge consolation. I still find the song absolutely atrocious, but this PV looks all kinds of wonderful. I love it when she does symbolic stuff like this (red threads? 'tying' people down? I don't know). Plus, she looks stunning.

Like it.
As I read the lyrics and saw the glimpse of the video, I can make assumption that this video mostly will show us this part:
"we don’t give up, no matter
how loud people laugh and call us
fools"
The tie is mostly a symbolism of other people thought and words about the grieving models. Those thought and words are binding them, limiting their existence to become something more.
The almost same situation of this video clip can be seen on XXX Hollic, story about twins who one of the siblings bound by another siblings word.

I can't wait to see the rest of this PV. This song has become my winter jam (coz I'm all the way down here in the southern hemisphere :D ).

I'm so glad she went for a more meaningful PV this time! Can't wait to watch it full.

As everyone else i didn't expect such a PV, it's not depressing at all, it's about breaking free and daring to step forward (just like the song's lyrics)

I'm not able watching it. -_- what a pity.
Do someone has a download link?

Try a youtube proxy. Just google "youtube proxy" and try a few. For me zalmos works fine. =)

I had Proxmate... but no idea... it don't works any more.
I will try an other.


Ok... I tryed a diffenrent Youtube unblocker.. it also don't works. No idea, whats the problem.
-_-

^It's already on the Downloads section.

LOL I thought those were scenes of a dorama!
Well, I love it! Can't wait for the full version!

Don't know if anyone's mentioned this, but I believe "red threads" symbolize fate. The fact that ayu is throwing it off a skyscraper at the end is deep. I love deep ayu lol.

Finally a decent PV. I've been so tired of PVs of Ayu just making faces at the camera or sitting and lip-syncing. I'm glad she finally went back to a full-blown PV with at least a little action/story to it.

^ i agree!!

I jus hope that theres more to the PV than just them struggling with the red strings xD haha like another set or other locations

Looks like a PV talking about mother nature and how women suffer, imo.

:P

I'm in awe at how breathtakingly beautiful, the "Step by Step" PV is shaping up to be, so far. :smitten I love the fact that there's an actual story/message to the video & the whole concept of breaking free of that red thread...and even to all of the facial expressions/gestures of the models...just makes it seem like this PV is going to have such a powerful impact, while having so much fresh simplicity. :yes :heart And speaking of gorgeous, that is exactly what ayu is in the PV...truly gorgeous! :love I am extremely looking forward to watching the full PV & I'm thinking that I'm gonna love it just as much as I love "Step by Step", the song, itself. :D

I REALLY love the concept of this video. The idea of trying to escape from whatever your "destiny" supposedly is because it's just holding you back, I love that. It's something women definitely have to deal with - we're all "supposed" to be a certain type of woman, do a certain type of career, have a certain type of personality, get married & have kids by a certain age... if that's where Ayu is going with this video I really wanna see the whole thing so I can see what leads these women to this point.

I'm noticing that the girls are all next to a mirror or talking to themselves in a mirror, as well - I wonder if that's something deliberate as well?

That was my initial thoughts too

I'd like that kind of thing more tbh.

As for the PV, for some reason I get a really strong LOVEppears vibe from this clip. I have no idea why or how it's even possible because I'm pretty sure LOVEppears and sixxxxxx aren't even connected in any way. O.o

The song itself isn't anything special. She have better summer songs, imo.
BUT, this PV makes me appreciate the song a bit more. I know it's just the short ver. but it looks really good so far. The red-thread idea it's brilliant.
Cannot wait to watch the whole PV!

Well the pv totally involves women and certain struggles . I wonder if ayu has been dealing some issues now that she's married. We all know the cliques attached to married women.

The whole red string of fate thing (boys & girls and A single covers)

thank you!

You pretty much described half of her videography on the first sentence...

Oh.. great I wanna watch out for it.

I was bored, actually. I want something colorful and where I can actually see ayu. meh.

Looks like it'll be an improvement from her last few videos. Looking forward to the full thing :D

something is telling me
that this is gonna be a 5 minutes video of ayu unfixing red thread

^ tbh

oh no please don't!!
this is what i'm so scared about..

This gave me chills when I watched it. I have always respected Ayu's ability to tap into raw emotion and connect with her fans. It's always as if she is saying that she knows how you feel. I love the song; reminds me slightly of "Snowy kiss" but it's got its own charm, as well. Cannot wait for the full length PV.

We have a 6 minute video of Maro and Ayu pushing each other, so why not! :laugh

^except it's kind of more entertaining lol

But i do like the bit we saw. I think the video in the beginning will probably tell about lives of those 3 women, and they will show glimpses of them just sitting three in dim rooms bounded, looking all sad and desperate before all the pulling on the red band begins.
