FLOWER & Mad World (Short ver. MVs on YouTube)
 

I loveeeee FLOWER

WOW

Oh my god I'm impressed

LOL!!

She has got to be in self-parody territory now. There's no way she's not trolling us with videos like these hahaha. I literally burst out laughing during the chorus in FLOWER. Oh, Ayu, please never change.

Oh I love them!! Mad World is interesting with this concept of "Simple Ayu" then "Ayu on stage"!
And Flower, besides her (bad) acting, I can't wait to see the whole PV!
Reminds me of Don't look back!

wow, both of them are so deep. You can tell right from the beginning that she isnt happy with how she is judged by her work. Those mvs are strong. I love them

I got chills from Mad World :'-(

and doesnt it mean that you sacrifice yourself when you cut your hair in japanese culture? Something like that? ..

Ugh I wanna see the full versions, hahah. Its not enough. So far, I kind of wish they used multiple cuts/angles in FLOWER, but I'm really excited to see the rest.

:love

Well I know it means to be a huge apology when you cut your hair here. But I'm not sure if that's really what she's going for...

AKB girl being the most famous recent example lol

For those of you who enjoyed the low budget look and feel of these videos and the album cover shoot, I'm happy for you, you got exactly what you asked for.

For those of you (like me) who held on to the tiniest glimmer of hope that she would do something interesting for a change (since the music on the album was so promising) -- well, tough luck. Maybe on her 20th anniversary >.>

Apparently in the news report they said that she cuts her hair and rips her dress because she's trying to get rid of the lies she surrounded herself with, and also to get rid of the feelings that restrain her. I wan't the one translating this though.

If I were styled like this I'd rip my hair and dress off as well lol.

I actually don't mind the simplicity of the Mad World PV but it's such a waste of a good song to execute such a thoughtless concept for the video. A video like this should be reserved for duds. Like Winter Diary.

Its probably more about forgetting the old to bring in the new... What you are thinking would more go into feudal time mentality of cutting your own hair. Samurai would cut their hair if defeated; people would cut their hair if rejected from their home or abandoning their social class.

at FLOWER she destroy dress from CDL?

I think this PVs are bad and very rushed. I think this PVs were made in 1 or 2 days and looks like an amateurs work, nothing special and nothing interesting. It's really bad because the song have potential to make amazing PVs and I was expecting something better.

It's a pretty simple thing, really. Cutting your hair just means wanting to get rid of the past, of your old self, of stress, of things holding you back, etc. She wants to leave "them" behind, "them" here meaning whatever that's troubling her right now. I can understand this because in the midst of a fit I cut my own hair myself.

She sucks at acting still hahaha but the anger, frustration and etc. were made pretty clear from the song itself so the bad acting doesn't bother me too much. I get it.

MAD WORLD ON THE OTHER HAND THOUGH, THAT WA S NICE

Low budget, amateur or not thank GOD it's not a meaningless video

Yes, it is, I guees.
