(like when I first saw Fly high I thought it was so fun, not so much now...) but compared to her new ones, I don't think they hold a candle... Sure her new ones aren't perfect, but I do think they're better. And I also think/hope GREEN and Days will be another two great PVs.
I guess if you're more into how it was shot, those PVs would seem better... to be honest, I don't pay much attention to that stuff unless it's hard to not notice how bad/good it is...

Yea, I agree. E.g. SURREAL is seen as a classic PV (..I think), and I agree it has some artistic concepts, but it's basically a toned down version of BLUE BIRD with Ayu standing at random locations. =3

Mirrocle World was actually Kazuyoshi Shimomura. Takahide Ishii did such gems as Startin', Born to Be, and Blue Bird. However he did also do Momentum, so he does have the capacity to not be total crap, but his track record isn't that good. Although, Momentum is good because the story/concept is good, not that his direction is really that good.
That's why even Ayu's somewhat simple PVs from the past like Carols or even evolution etc I still find to be very good. They may not have a great story, but those pvs were always shot extremely well. (the cinematography and what not) |
Haha, I love the facial expressions, because they're kinda funny and over the top, yea. XD But after three PVs with them let's have something else now. :3
LOL, yea, Take has some awful PVs. XD Wataru has done all her expensive PVs (my name's WOMEN, JEWEL, fairyland) so I'm hoping he'll be doing this one, too. Or was a different direction at the set in Shanghai?
