After watching it once and skimming through 15 pages of posts, that's been wandering of in all different directions (
), I'll post my thoughts on the PV.
It remided me a bit of the other summer PVs.
It felt like fairyland, but with the 'deep' part removed and more romance added.
It felt a bit like INSPIRE, but with more cheerfullness and not an as serious message.
I enjoyed the PV, the best one of 2006 this far. I will watch it again, which I won't with for example 'BTB...'.
The camera work and angles was good and I liked the cutting aswell, some scenes was a bit weird though, the camera man was playing around a bit too much and going too far, I think. Even if it felt a bit 'rushed' and possibly 'cheap' (don't entirely agree on it being cheap after thinking some about helicopters etc) I get the feeling that it is very well made.
The complete cheerfullness of it filled me to the edge and I was smiling when I watched it, I particularly enjoyed two scenes, the one where she was standing at a mountain and the ones when she was riding the water scooter.
I'm very happy they left out the CGing for once, including CGing REALLY makes a PV look cheap, and it's indeed the cheapest thing you can do. *thinks biking part in Startin', speech in Ladies Night, 'robots' of INSPIRE etc*. This PV gave me a feeling it's genuine.
It was not the most enjoyable or deep PV, but it is perfect for the theme of the song. The PV definately made me love the song more, and looking at the PV was the second time ever I heard this song

I really hope she will 'dare' doing more PVs as psychadelic/dark themed as Ourselves or Because of You.
I found
this post particularly interesting, and I agree with
everything in it. Thanks ruixiong89. I will smile and sigh every time I look at that scene when you can notice the cameramans shadow, it was the scene I disliked the most when I watched this PV the first time.
Now I think I'm gonna watch it some more to see if I can come up with more thoughts on it.
She is wearing a weee bit too much makeup, but it was even worse in fairyland ^^'
note:
CGing does not always have to be cheap, but when it's used to 'fill out' a PV it really is.
