Like some people, I feel like it was just lacking something. Something you can't really explain, but even though you'd think POLE DANCING, FREAKS, AUCTION, CLOWN GUY, ROCK would make it extremely exciting, the whole thing lacked punch. Ayu's videos aren't among my favorites, and I think it's because the imagery and the pace don't really match the music itself. Perhaps this scenery would have worked better for another song? Also, I'm no cinematography snob, but some of the angles just didn't seem well executed. It was MUCH too claustrophobic and awkward to know what was going on, even if that was the intention. I'm also a little sad that they put so much time and effort into designing the bills used in the auction, yet we wouldn't be able to tell if they were plain old slips of randomly colored paper.

I did enjoy the beast-man, the glutton, the gymnast, and the otaku though. Pretty interesting melange of characters.
