Everyone here knows how much shit I talk about Ayu with the love motifs, but this was flat-out impressive, tasteful, and fresh. This was all the things I have hated about Ayu's PVs for the last five years and done respectfully, artistically, and entertaining from the first second to the last. I hardly noticed three minutes passed, and I was entranced with Ayu, with the guys, with the cuts to the rings, to the mountain overlay, to the simplicity but sheer class of Ayu, her movements being refined and sophisticated--nothing like Lelio, or WARNING--her lip sync being on point, beautiful--nothing like Angel or how beautiful you are.
Damn. When Ayu proves you wrong, she does it so goddamn effortlessly; and this is exactly why I have never walked away from her music, even when it wasn't the best she could have done. Because time and fucking time again, Ayumi Hamasaki proves Ayumi Hamasaki is not one PV, or one song, or one album, but an identity she and we all share.
