I feel like this is a HUUUUGE problem for Ayu lately. The fact that people are arguing about the Feel the love PV almost half a year later is very telling about how ineffective the message there was.

I think honestly if James Ellis hadn't looked around all confused at the end, and if he looked at her like "Wow, you're a knockout" when she was back in her overweight form, the whole PV would have been saved. Her confidence makes her attractive even if she doesn't look like Ayu, right?

And speaking as a girl who was getting the most dates & the most bow-chicka-wow-wow when she was at her fattest, that's completely true advice for the real world, too! Would have made the video totally fine IMHO.

But no, James Ellis can't act or the director couldn't direct or someone didn't suggest the right thing or something. I dunno what happened. But that one tiny moment killed the whole video.
