... it's the continuation of the yesterday's shooting.

I sing, taking stupid and strange pauses, but when I do exactly what Shimoko, who directs, wants, it's always that! lol

Come on. Today, I will be transformed into a strange, soft creature, and I'll go for it! Be brave!!!!!

god I didn't like what he did with MW, GREEN was nice though~ don't really know what to expect.

Linza-mo · #6 18th February 2009, 10:48 PM

it's one of the two new PV for Next Level =)
(in the DVD there are 6 PV, so 2 new one)

Seriously, WHY does she keep choosing these people over Kouki Tange, Wataru Takeshi etc etc or even someone completely new?? I'm not saying her directors of the past couple of years are total crap, but they could be waaay better especially considering she could basically get any director that she wants. Really makes me wonder about her judgment these days.

She has worked with the same average at best directors for like 2 years now - if nothing else, wouldn't it occur that that style just might be getting a little bit stale?

Ayumiko · #8 18th February 2009, 10:49 PM

damn it!

what are you trying to do ayu?!!

Because he's a close friend of her and Mika Noguchi.

She knows she's doing all these strange stuff in his PVs, but she's still working with him? Urgh. I really don't like his works. He's gonna make her walk and exaggerate her facial expressions again. T__T

Ayu needs some diversity.

emi♡ · #12 18th February 2009, 10:55 PM

why does she keep him around if she thinks it's stupid and strange?

She's as much to fault for the bad productions as he is. It's supposed to be HER material after all. Someone at TA needs to tell her that just because he's a friend DOES NOT make him great, and that in the end, it looks bad on her.

Anyway...hope they put up some new pictures from the shooting soon.

It's so weird...she only uses wataru for her tour videos now and not pvs...the last one he did was decision.

...those tour videos were so good!! Taskinst~ and I bet (don't)leave me alone was by him too.

Unfortunately that IS probably why. Its something that I've been noticing her doing more and more. Such as Takahide Ishii being someone who went to her same high school etc. That's not a good thing. When you are in her type of business, I think you should be hiring based on ability and talent, not on personal connections. Her world has become too insular imo.

CHAS_AYU · #15 18th February 2009, 11:01 PM

Hope the new PV will be GREAT!
I like both Mirrorcle World and GREEN PVs.

That is not a good reason at all! But at the VERY least (I'm really trying to look on the bright side here...) the videos are getting slightly better. Mirrorcle World was horrid, GREEN was at least a little better... (I think the editing was more at fault than his directing...) So, we'll see how this one turns out

Yeah I must agree with this. I'm sick of seeing her dancers stuffed in our faces because she's such good friends with them, her terrible backup vocalists she will never get rid of and now it's annoying to see her working with directors just because they're her friends. It's arrived to the point where it's annoying because it's more like "Ayumi Hamasaki & friends" lately and unfortunately they are not as talented as they like to think they are...

I think that the fact she has so much control over her career is also turning against her. She's getting surrounded with a bunch of friends who seem to be more interested in hogging all the attention for themselves to get to the top.

Beauty4123 · #18 18th February 2009, 11:11 PM

my 2 least favorite PVs

oh well, here's to hoping it could be better.

GRACE · #19 18th February 2009, 11:23 PM

I liked the PVs, but I'm ready and waiting for the shitstorm that's coming because of this x_x... Hey, maybe he can get better. I mean, everyone improves right?

I still stand by my theory that he's endowed...

micster · #20 18th February 2009, 11:26 PM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Great. An awful video in store for us to watch.
