I distanced myself from AHS simply not to bias my opinion before watching this pv. For now all I can say is eye candy. She looks really gorgeous into this one. And rather sexy. Nonetheless her upbeat songs never really have a plot or a theme in her pvs as far as I could see so I suppose just like most other artists.

It's nice to see the off-shots along with her having fun with the song itself. I agree onto Lumix's point. She was more herself and meeting other people as a normal person rather than a popstar. It actually showed her having fun for once rather than trying to please people. I also give her the credit for having the guts of riding out in New York and sing and dance in front of an audience who does not even know her. I'm sure many people thought she was weird or even crazy.

The song is sort of better too in the pv. I do think it's not her best but it's one of her best compared to her upbeat songs, apart from STEP you and evolution.
Honestly compared to Boys & Girls, Humming 3/4, INSPIRE, Fly High or Angel's Song it actually shines.

Also I found myself comparing it to evolution. In fact there's even the behind the scenes shots in evolution. The song is miles behind, mind you. Yet .. it shows a sort of continuity. evolution shows how Ayu was treated as a sort of doll and told everything in what to do by her director and is given everything on silver platter just in case she doesn't get hurt or anything. In fact she looks quite delicate in it. While in Bold and Delicious it's obvious that she takes control. She's dancing and singing while the van is driving and she's meeting people and her looks are also more natural... more her. She's bold and she's taking control. I like that.

It's also really cute when she says "Thank You Guys" or that's what I think she said.
