progress 6/10
I really loved the feeling of the PV during the first part of the song, the slow movement of the school kids in the shadows gave a really nice nostalgic feeling. Then the scrolling was nice at first and I like how she used both America and Japan for hubby and her so it made it more touching. Though I think it would have been nice to have one break for something else in the middle of the scrolling and then finish with the scrolling to Ayu at the end which was awesome too... But I give it a 6/10 because the scrolling just keeps going and going...

ANother song 6/10
Not too bad, nothing special and nothing terrible. I loved the red laser effects on Ayu and the PV suited the song, I think the angles and sometimes the lighting were terrible, you could hardly tell it was Ayu and Naoya. I liked the dancing at the end. I think they could have done more with it

beloved 8/10
This is what a beautiful Ayu ballad PV is all about. Even though there wasn't a story line and it was just a bunch of shots of her being pretty and happy, it was well done, some songs just don't call for a complex story line. I love the little wedding garter she was wearing with the shredded fabric dress, it makes it personal. Then I loved the black dress shots it was breath taking and she looked beautiful. The kids were a little on the Michael Jackson side (not disrespect I am an MJ fan) for me, but still cute. But above all the hands raised and "under the same sky" note at the end was the best, it shows she really listens to her fans and that we are her "beloved" too

Why... 7/10
I don't know how to feel about this PV I was stuck between a 6.5 and 7 so I just bumped it to 7. The PV in itself is very beautiful, well composed and different. Though it would have suited an upbeat song better kinda like how she did Ladies Night. The series of events that happen in the PV are kinda boring and again I think that that's because it's a ballad and you don't want too much going on. Thats the problem, when I think of Alice in Wonderland I think of crazy, color, and excitement, not a duet love song, so trying to "calm down" the theme of Alice in Wonderland it's really appropriate, I think that's the best word to describe it, the themes weren't appropriate for the song.

BRILLANTE 10/10
Perhaps Ayu gave this song this name because in her head she even said, "wow this is BRILLIANT". One of her best songs and PVs in years, I won't waste time explaining why, my feeling are pretty much the same as everyone else, emotion, the ending, naked guys, how well it fits with the song, etc.

I give this PV a 10/10 but if I were to pick out the small flaws this is one of them, I wish it would have been all in the past like instead of a locker room had the men carry her stuff around in a pretty room with velvet curtains or something like that. Then Timmy was really annoying (huge props for making the song but please don't be in it if you are going to over act THAT bad) I felt Ayu's acting was great though!
