Doesn't the director need to take care of the whole production? If the editing is bad, he should have said something (besides, he was the one directing the scenes... so probly it's hard to edit something that is bad already).

I kinda agree with B&D because it's pretty average. I think he did a better job on Pride. Also, the editing and scenes transitions are much better compared to Shimomura.

Really it is just fine. you can't expect ayu to sing with her mouth literally closed. In MW she's soomehow showing 'power'. so did she in Rule PV. I know for slow paced song like GREEN some of you said she's overreacting. But I guess they just wanna make it more dramatic ^^

I also think MW is sorta a nice pv (not too bad... her fierceness does match the song). For the GREEN pv, I still hold up my breath against it. I can't just say I like the pv because "as long as ayu looks pretty in it". The overacting part shares some faults, but the main point is that he could not bring out what we suppose to see. Look, he just kept telling ayu to do those OVER dramatic stuff. I know probly he wanted to use the "drama" to express the meaning of the song. However, the way he chose is totally irrelevant. As a result it just makes many of us thinking ayu looks like a drama queen. Also, he did a extremely bad scene transitioning. I assume he is really good in photography (2D), but I feel like he's using such concept to make a video (3D). It doesn't work this way, and he totally ruined the pv (and the song).
And I do feel the same way about she has been using the same team over and over again. Sometimes I do feel she isolates herself from the real world. First her band, then peco and princess, then her dancers, and now even the pv directors. When was the last time her dancers and the band not showing up on lives? JEWEL, which was two years ago. I think it's hard to see ayu alone in recent years. Basically nowadays ayu = ayu + those people. It's not necessarily bad (at least to the band), but she doesn't need to bring out the dancers every single time. And now the dancers even show up in LUMIX cm. This is a bit ridiculous (and yeah... I must admit funny at the same time... seeing them on LUMIX).
