Sitting on a chair in lingerie for no real reason in the middle of a beautifully decorated room reminds me of Victoria Beckham in the Spice Girls' "Headlines" video. It just feels awkward for Ayu, though--she rarely does "sexy", let alone "sexual", and suddenly we have a hand-bra single cover and this video.

I don't hate the video, but it just feels awkward... bold and safe at the same time. Hmmm... Need to watch it a bunch more times.


Edit: Okay, I've changed my mind. I hate the video. It's stupid, bland, and it even fails at being eye candy. Jewel had no content what-so-ever either, but it was visually stunning, cohesive, and interesting. In Mirrorcle World, Ayu is just wearing pretty clothes that we've seen before, and making exaggerated poses against a backdrop of Paris.

The story, too, was incredibly weak. If you're going to bother with a plot, you need to commit to it; you can't half-ass it. The phone booth scene and the story with the spies in general should have been more fully explored. It had potential to be something like a chic version of ourselves, but it just didn't make it even half way.

I will say that it looks nicer (i.e. more expensive and polished) than (don't) Leave Me Alone did, but it's still a bomb as a whole video. Such a shame, because the song is pretty cool.
