Yes, i agree that song for you was super disappointing. It had a simple but good concept, but they didn't do anything with it. It's a fast song, but the editing was slow as hell. Better editing could have made a big difference and at least to me, that should have been basic. I don't know what's up with her video production team. |
I liked beloved and progress a lot. Why... was also a pretty good one imo and very Ladies Night-lite. ANother song was pretty "AAA" or idol standard though. Some dancing and people grooving in solo shots. Ayu did look good in that PV though during the laser silhouette portions.
Party Queen should have probably had more PVs but for most people only how beautiful you are and Return Road exist on that release.
You & Me was very much in the vein of "Yay hidden messages!" Ayu like how she had a "Secret" on the Secret cover... aka the tattoo.
Anyway, I think one thing Masashi Muto has done lately with Ayu is not as many quick cuts as most music videos. Usually videos have 2-3 seconds before cutting to another angle or another type of scene entirely but his videos seem to have a bit less ADD-type editing which most people are probably used to from PVs in general.
Her PVs imo have been fine lately, they just haven't been nearly as high concept as they used to be. Still, we're probably in for a few more after A CLASSICAL so it's not like she's not going to churn more out.
Oh, and I think most people probably feel like she's had better concert-interlude videos than PVs in the last 4-5 years which is somewhat accurate since they seem to be a bit more grand feeling.
