I can't decide if I like this or not. lol

Good: Production value; It's nice to see an energetic, fast paced vid from Ayu; I like the Kill Bill homage(I think it is tribute, not copying); I LOVE the song.

Bad: It's just a bunch of unrelated string of scenes put together(if there is a relation between them, I'm just not seeing it); It's weird, but not in a good way like Ladies Night or alterna; The guy at the counter was obviously not American or British - he's speaking english but I could barely understand what he said - that won't matter to the Japanese public, but for English speakers I think that bit at the begining kind of takes them out of the video; The begining in the chaps and pink top is just "too Britney" for me - it does look ALOT like the Overprotected outfit Brit wore and Ayu's dancing here is too Britneyish for my taste. I always get pissed when people compare Ayu to Britney, but now with this video it will be harder for me to refute that.

And I'm not sure how to rank the ending. lol. It was funny, but I don't get what it was supposed to mean.

Edit: However, if this is indeed a parody, then I love it! Hopefully Ayu will give an interview to clear this up.
