I can't fly today, either.

In Los Angeles, Stan-chan and Luis await my arrival with the rest of the crew...

The crew is composed of the best technicians in New York or L.A
Such work... it's obvious that I want to do iiiit !

Whatever happens tomorrow, if I don't leave Japan, it's "time out."

Game over.

I'm motivated to go to Narita even if I don't have a ticket yet!

Do you want to join me in waiting for a cancellation? lol

Aaah!

I almost forgot! On the Panasonic website, as I told you some time ago, you may see the ads that I share with Pecoburi-sama and the dancers!

If there are those among you who have not seen it yet, I urge you to see it!

Yes...

...I'll go.

I'll go, but...

... my ticket ...

I got iiiiiiiiiiit ! ! ! ! !

Finally. To be more precise, of course it wasn't me who bought it.

It was in fact our Prince, who showed how imperative it was that I travel tomorrow.

And if I tell you how I'm going to go to L.A ...

First, I go from Narita to San Francisco.

And then from San Francisco to L.A we rented a private jet.

You know, I'm writing this with a nonchalant attitude...

but for many reasons, it's increeeeedible!

So I'll go?

I'll goooo ! ! ! ! !

Anyone over that other crappy guy... at least Pride had some good direction.

I like Luis Hernandez!
He also directed the Beautiful Fighters PV! :love

I wonder what her PV in U.S. looks like? :)

Thanks for the latest messages!

I thought BF was directed by the same guy who directed Rule..
Anyways B&D was a bad PV, Pride was good <3

At least he is better than Kazuyoshi. But does anyone else find it weird that they are sending her all the way to LA to do a PV now of all times, even though she was just there? Its obvious the decision was very last minute, otherwise there shouldn't be a problem getting tickets for a flight.

Beautiful Fighters was a co-direction between Ishii and Hernandez.

oooh this is exciting! but kind of weird, i wasn't expecting that director..
but we'll see how it goes!

I don't mind Luis, actually. You can tell the guy just told Ayu to "be herself" in B&D/Pride. I thought the acting was pretty natural, not any of that 'fierce' crap.

ayu why u bring him back from the dead??!!...:(

Even though at the time I thought B&D's PV was the biggest piece of crap ever, this is actually pretty exciting. :D It might turn out good or at least somewhat watchable!

I've always been curious as to where the hell Avex found this Hernandez dude though. Like, I try looking him up on Google and I can't seem to find anything about the director. I mean, if they're gonna get an American director, why don't they at least get a better known one? Avex already spends ridiculous amounts of money on her PV's, why not go all out and get a director with some street cred? :shrug

cool, he is a decent director :D

Interesting! As long as she's not on a big truck singing throughout the streets of L.A. I'll be fine :)

I'm pumped to see what he will do this time XD

This could be very good or very bad, as Pride was very good and B&D was very strange

I only wonder what these PVs will be like! :D Thank you!

Good point. I was wondering the same thing. "Wasn't she just in LA?" That's a lot of traveling within a few days. I mean, like, more than is usually already done. O_O

:yes :yes

I hope this time he'll show us what does it means when he's serious! I'll cross my fingers for the GREAT PV!!
~thnx for the messages!

Well I'm not surprised. Lately she seems to be doing everything at the very last minute so probably this was an idea which came at the spur of the moment. However since Stan is waiting makes me think that they planned to do it but didn't know when to do it.

ayumi's choosing the directors that some people dislike, lol. again, here's to hoping it's a good PV.

I love B&D!

It's a very unique concept, I hope he'll make something unique again!

And Pride wasn't that bad either, like someone said at least it doesn't have to over-the-top acting and impossible lip-movements.

Eww, B&D/Pride PVs director :(
Hope this new PV will be good anyway...

oh, I can live with fernandez as director. Boooold and Beautiful Fighters were very entertaining. but avex might kill ayu if she doesn't hold her schedule. @_@"

Well BoA worked with a famous American director and we all know what happen to that PV.. xD This guy did a good job with both Pride and BF ^^

anyone besides Shimoko.

I kinda liked the B&D/Pride videos...

I think B&D was perfect for the song...and it's fun. It's different...

Maybe we'll see more Ayu this time and not...you know...the whole entourage.

I want to see her news pv!!!

thanks for sharing!

Picture from the making:

Cute :3

More Pictures

Beautiful fighters was such a good video. It fit the song so well.
However Pride and B&D werent so good.

Hopefully the song he directs is more upbeat..i cant stand him directing another ballad video.

PS>Does anyone know who directed my name's WOMEN?

Wataru Takeishi.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wataru_Takeishi

I think Pride's PV is very awesome.^^

Thanks for sharing! It appears she's flying JAL on the new suite before she flies on her private jet...

But not the American director again!? It appears that she loves America so much besides Japan...

cuz wataru got style lol


okay...what's up with all those baggy speedo things...ew :shakehead

Pride would've been better if it actually HAD a storyline...as for Bold & Delicious...Well, there may not have been any food involved in it, but I think Hernandez really captured the essence of the actual SONG with the whole "riding on the back of a semi confidently-theme".

Other directors of some one Ayu's greatest PVs can't seem to capture that essence well to me. They just kind of contrast the overall message of the song and leave you confused as hell...A great example of this would be "ladies night"...It's a good PV but with the exception of a few scenes that actually connect to the lyrics of the song, the rest of the video just doesn't enhance the overall theme Ayu was trying to convey in the song. It actually seemed to me like the exact opposite...And what about videos like "INSPIRE"? What the hell did that song have to do with ANY of the lyrics?

Of course someone could argue that the ending of the video was just the signature "Ayu-twist" of things but...meh that's an argument for another day.

Great pics ! Thanks maxker ! ^^

PS : First Pics on Ayu.no were taken on Hawaii I think! '_'

I'm sure this will be a fun PV
cute pants btw ^^

And wow private jet :D now Ayu will be reunited with the luggage she left behind ^^

and I wanted to wait with Ayu at Narita...;)

thanks for the translation!

I think Ayu has got to be safe when flying out of Narita, because recently on February 20th a Northwest Airlines 747-400 just went for a bumpy landing and caused around 50 people to get injured... (see http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...HdC2QD96FBNV01 for AP article regarding on the incident)

Hopefully Ayu and her other passengers on her flight stay safe and does not get any aviation-and-weather-related injuries during her journey...

bleh B&D/Pride PVs director....well ill try and keep some kind of hope for a good pv

i think all of you are being to sceptical about the director...

so true :)

I actually like the pv's that he directed. I am excited!

I have more faith in this director than the other one because I decently liked BD/Pride. But yeah, two crappy directors boo.

LOL
her pajamas? so cute

It's something different. That's what I've been wanting from Ayu for forever. Something different than the past "fierce" stuff she has been doing. It's getting old. NEXT LEVEL was a great refreshing change. I almost hope that Kazuyoshi is directing a PV for NEXT LEVEL (the song). He sucks at PVs for "fierce" songs but I think he'd be amazing at a calmer more soothing song.

As for this director, B&D isn't my favorite song but it was something unique. I hope this is the same way. I like uniqueness. I'm hoping NEXT LEVEL will be more varied in terms of genre than GUILTY was. She just better not be wearing that outfit from the picture in the PV :x.

In the PV she cross L.A. on a truck? :innocent

lol

I'm guessing ayu already finished filming the pv in tokyo? that was fast. Well...I don't have high expectation for that pv...hopefully this one will be better.

^ so cuteee Hello Kitty pajama :D thanx for the pics (everybody loves Hawaii) & translations guys !!

so does anyone know what happened in Narita to allow cancellation of flights? who's that "Prince" got one flight ticket for her? i like Luis Hernandez PV's, he's a good director, he allows to show us a more real ayu (^__^)

OMG, please not B&D type of PV again...

I saw Zin and else..think that this is gonna be a dance video or wat again. I cant imagine ayu's posing around LA Street again with her diva attitude and suddenly dance LOL

We missed each other in San Francisco, dang!!!
Anyway, will there be one more pv? Let's hope she'll do it in Africa... :)

i think i can expect a not so good PVs this time round...sighh

anyway it seems like all the avex artists have bad PVs recently

*Sigh* At some point, Ayu was 40 minutes away from me?!

Ouch...that hurts.

Ayu's going to shoot a new PV in L.A.????? I'm looking forward of it.

thanks for the translation. i dont like the luis guy's pv.

OMG... That Luiz guy again... I wish I never saw PV directed by him anymore. B&D is such sooo... bad!! And Pride has no meaning though. BF? Not really....

(I wonder why I never see great PV of Ayu since HEAVEN.... ~sad~)

EXACTLY!! what happened...omg...That sucks so much.

LOL that is really shocking. I wish only the hat was part of the PV.

The fact that its Luis Ferdanez could probably mean a rather western song??? B&D/Pride and BF were rather western to me. even though they retained the Ayu-style.
Haiz...i don't noe...Im feeling disappointed. I really wonder if Ayu has any thoughts about her PV..she can direct them herself couldnt she??? It's what she sees IN the song...the image it gives her..no?
Yea, probably easier said than done.

I like luiz hernandez..

not that director and another american pv :( I don't mind bold & delious and pride but the pvs are a different story, but that's just me, im not a huge fan of the american look

^if she goes all the way to L.A....then she WILL do an outdoor PV right??? or not?

Beautiful Fighters was OK. I didn't really like Pride. Bold & Delicious wasn't even a PV...it was more like they used the making of as the PV.

hey!!! but wait a minute!! Nobody went to San Francisco Airport to say hi to Ayu???? HOW COME!!!

O my, these PVs will be very ..interesting

OMG!! SAN FRANCISCO??!!!!!
i had a scream attack when i saw that. too bad shes just transferring 2 private jet 2 LA
T___T
no chance of me goin 2 airport *sadness*

Most likely yes. It doesn't make sense to go overseas just to shoot in a studio which they could do in Japan.

Thanks for translation.
I like Pride PV and hope that new PV will be better.

i dont like the song bold & delicious but the pvs are great! :D


looking forward this new pv as well!!!!!!!!! *0*

i liked B&D and Pride....just hope it'll be more artistic

B&D pv was a copy of Bjork's Big Time Sensuality pv, so that's not good. I really like the side stories version though, did the same guy direct them both.

I actually liked both B&D/Pride PVs so this should be awesome ^^

if anyone knows WHERE ayu will be shooting the PV, LEMME KNOW!!! i'll run out rite away!

WAITTTTTTTTTTTTT!?!?!? SO SHE IS STAYING IN SAN FRANCISCO OR JUST STOPPING BY?!??!?


CAUSE IF SHE IS STAYING FOR AWHILE, I'LL PROBABLY TRY TO FIND HER! LOL I BET IT WOULD BE IN SHOPPING MALLS.

hmmm... not sure how to feel about Hernandez. i found B&D and Pride a bit boring, but still ok. hopefully he'll redeem himself.

thanks for the updates , I hope the new PV wouldn't be something that's questionable

so the two new pv will respective handed to the worst directors in the pv-history...

i just can wait and see...

haha everyone dislikes the directors shes picking. XD
these new PV's will be an interesting watch.

Well, he's not as bad as the 'photographer', hopefully it will be an improvement on some of the PVs we've already had for the album :)

lol, you are so right! the 2 crappiest directors for her 2 new pvs....

I'm a bit scared to see another PV directed by this guy, but it could be good. Just needs more than some scenery and ayu.

Thank you!

Yeah, I guess ANY director other than Kazouyashi would rock. I actually really liked Bold & Delicious and Pride's PVs. Beautiful Fighters was so adorable too!

Thank you! I loved the Bold & Delicious PV, so hopefully I'll love this PV too! Pride was nice too, the little scrolling thing with her name on! <3 Hopefully it'll have nice little details like that again.

What I dislike most in B&D PV is her hair!
Someone should kill the hair stylist.......
and also the clothing.....ill......

oh no.. I wld not like to see him direct the same kind of style like he did for B&D.. OH NO!!

The director of Beautiful Fighters was Takahide Ishii, the director of PV's like; momentum, BLUE BIRD, Together When and (dont') leave me alone. Not Luis Hernandez...

Well I did actually like Pride, B&D not so much but but. Lets hope he will make a great job with this new one!

Wow, a private jet!?

I didn't care fore Bold & Delicious PV but I liked Pride so I'll give it a chance...

She must be felt so heavy to left Japan again.

Uh...I really don't care who will be the directorXD

But PRIDE was a good pv, let's see what will he give us this time~XDD

yea
Pride was awesome

I loveeed that pv when it came out lol


:D

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

WHY?? WHY HIM?? WHY?? X_X

Well, the only thing we can do now is hope that this PV is going to be good... (urgh, I just thought of the B&D PV)

anyway, thx for the translation

They BOTH directed the video. Takahide reportedly just did the planning according to BLUE BIRD booklet.

idc either way, I like B&D and BF PVs <3

Then again I like the other guy too so whatever.

That's interesting. I can't wait to see what he's foing to do this time :D

let's hope in a better quality PV

oh nooooooooooooooooooo:thud

I liked the B&D PV, it was really cute - I wonder what song this PV is for?

I'm sure that Next Level will have some really interesting PVs! ^_^
