I wish she'd use Shimo-chan again. I always liked his work. I prefer him to Leslie. Though they both do the diva thing, Leslie's work always comes off as looking conceited to me. Shimo's is more campy.

Also, Shimo uses so much color in his work!


Speaking of color, why can't Ninagawa and Ayu do a collab?
The video is everything (that hairstyle alone was fire) and the song has gained major credibility amongst her discography over time. It really does cultivate a truly unique atmosphere and is perfect for eerie autumn evenings. I love how it slowly evolves and how the last chorus is such a peak.
