If you wanna be cost-effective having one person walking around for 2-3 days(and driving at times) covers that. Then there are the few actors involved. I think the two studio scenes were probably the most expensive thing of the video...and they were simple make-up and outfits with a white background and a greenscreen...
And I honestly doubt they paid anything for the locations except maybe the indoor parts so...I have no idea where that PV got expensive? I would have guessed it's the cheapest FIVE PV(with beloved maybe)
That said I adore that video, but I think it was quite cheap.

Well, I'm not an expert on American Geography, but they needed at least a beach, a desert and a big city... Even if the big city is near the desert and the beach, it already covers a larger area than your usual music video, what makes stuff more expensive per se... Still, on the first part of the PV, most people on streets seen to be Asian (I tried to pause the video and check, but it's so fast @_@) and the signs are written in (what I suppose is) Japanese, so, the first part was shoted in Japan and the second in LA...
Also, by the making off u can see it wasn't only one person taking the photos, but a small crew... The fact that this is not a usual technique for this kind of PV contributes cuz u need to get stuff from zero, different from more usual things that already have stuff done (I doubt the monsters and the background for the Pachinko video were produced exclusively for that video for example).
But I never said it was her most expensive music video, just that it is most likelly most expensive than most music videos, cuz PVs tend to be somewhat cheap to produce...
And I'm pretty sure the cheapest video from FIVE was ANother song... They didn't need to pay for dancers, cuz ayu used hers, they didn't need to pay for choreography, cuz Ayu troup has it, the outfits were used on the past and everything happens on only one place...
Still, neither are her cheapest video...
