^I think after.

Ok, here goes my opinion. Out of then I give this a 6, and for me is a really medium quality PV from Ayu. Not at the level of Days nor Mirrorcle World (Yes, I really really loved Mirrorcle World, itīs her best-looking video ever imo and it had a great story, just hard to understand.) This was just like GREEN: Great premise, great concept buuuut... poorly executed and Ayu could have done much better. Please girl, stop using these directors now.
The symbolism is very good, the bird and the light and the lock and all that but really, thereīs something on it that looks very cheap to me and quickly done.

And the last thing... Ayu disappointed me with something that I would never think she could disappoint me (I think she is the most fashionable singer in Japan, she always wears what suits her and she pulls off a huge variety of looks, and has a 10/10 on the eycandy department really): the looks.
That dress!! She doesnīt has the body to pull it off. She is thin and has a great body, sure, but that kind of dress are made for girls with curves (something that Ayu lacks of). In her, it makes her waist look very wide and her breasts very small, and in some angles she looks like a cross between a pear and a brick.
And whatīs up with her hair? I like the shade and the haircut, but that dead look on it, always in front of her eye looks weird and emo. And it doesnīt fits much with the song. I think the Mirrorcle World hair of the MW covers (ior even the Rule coverīs hair) would look much much more bettter, and she would have looked much much more fierce.
The jewel Ayu, well, I dislike the lightning. It makes her look too pale. Other than that, the dress is nice but I was expecting something more original, but well, is the best look out of the PV, imo.

I donīt like to complain, but really, this disappointed me. Itīs a pity because the song is amazing but since the Secret era her PVs have been going downwards, with a few exceptions. I wish she made a Sparkle PV and made a great PV out of it.
