Thanks for the links.
So... Wake up, Snowy Kiss and You and I belongs together.

[marekcarey]

It is working for me, but takes time.

[isthisLOL?]

Not as disappointed as I thought I'd be. I like the "appears" reference in "snowy kiss" and the slow reveals of the camera.
Still not great videos though.

I also thought I'd be disappointed but surprisingly I like them a lot, especially "Wake me up".

"Wake me up" was pretty nice, I really like the fact that there's a storyline and that ayu actually has a role. Seeing her having fun and being sad etc is very different from what she's done recently, because she's not just singing over the song she's acting. I don't know how to explain it, I just like it a lot!

I gotta say I don't like "snowy kiss" as much, it's nice but nothing's happening. :/ this song really deserved a better video but we're basically just seeing them fighting in different places and her being alone in the end... I still like it though, it fits the song but since the song is 6min long it gets pretty boring.

I wish Masahi would explain his PVs though because I don't really get the storyline, why are they fighting all the time?! I hope in the future she'll do more PVs with storylines but made by other directors so that we can see another side of her, it would be so cool! *_*

[truehappiness]

I'm kind of liking the PVs. (though it's somewhat because they're weirdly cryptic as usual and I don't think Ayu has done videos like this before. It feels like these could have been condensed into special screens for her concert without needing to be like 15 minutes of "PVs" but hey...)

Is the third guy not real or something? He certainly doesn't show up at all during snowy kiss even during scenes that had him before. Though it seemed like Maro was trying to get him and Ayu together judging from the motel scenes and when she was trying to feed him and got "REJECTED".

Perhaps something about these PVs is really revealing personally since Ayu ended up alone in the end anyway? I'd have to say that when she jumped in the water thinking that Maro was going to jump in as well before he just kinda left her there was kind of hilarious and sad at the same time.

I'm still unsure about why Maro and Ayu are fighting at all.

[truehappiness]

I think snowy kiss is supposed to be 'the truth' of what happened? I mean, we'd see her getting along and being happy with Maro from You & Me and then they would cut away to the fighting and pushing in the exact same car with a different color. We also saw her waiting in the exact same outfit as You & Me's intro where Maro picked her up but this time... no one came for her.

Or... The PV of You & Me was just a dream of what Ayu wanted to happen....

The storyline would be :
WAKE ME UP > YOU & ME > SNOWY KISS

[BlackSilence]

^THAT, that's the only thing i figured out xD still don't quite get the idea of that other dude... >_>

[TeamAyu2004]

i really liked the short versions and cant wait to get home to download these in FULL!!
im really happy about these.

[cosmicfirefly]

I think the other dude was just her previous relationship (in the music videos) and how that wasn't working so she got with Maro, but that didn't work out either? I wish there was a bit more explained, but at the same time I like that it's ambiguous.

[truehappiness]

You know, maybe the other guy is a 'ghost' of sorts? Like an ex that kind of 'lingers' or something? It's probably incorrect since Maro was high fiving him like for 2 minutes but he totally disappears during snowy kiss.

Maybe it's more like... she was just fantasizing with Wake me up~You & Me and snowy kiss is the reality?

[Chibi-Chan]

Thanks for the links!

Maybe I'm just too tired, but I really don't get what they want to say with those PVs.
From my understanding the chronological order would be "Wake me up" -> "You & Me" -> "snowy kiss".
In "Wake me up" Ayu's relationship with this guy doesn't work well and in the end it is clear that she will break up with this guy and be together with Maro. "You & Me" shows the relationship with Maro and the lovey-dovey couple at the beginning turns into a fighting one in the end. "snowy kiss" just shows how they are fighting with each other like at the end of the "You & Me" PV.
Serious question: Have I missed something that would turn this into something meaningful and a real story?

^ The idea of her fantasizing makes sense

To be honest it doesn't look like fantasizing at all for me.

I LOVED Snowy Kiss tbh, i haven't seen her give this much emotion in a PV ever. Only that overly dramatic "I'm about to cry" look.
I'm surprisingly really loving these PV's. Seing her that aggressive was really interesting!

They make me think a lot, which is great. Usually i'm just like "yeah that was pretty" but that's it. Although in the Wake Me Up scence where the other guy rejects her (*****, queen ayu is serving you food you should be ashamed) made me laugh. For a short second i thought he'd end up being gay and hit on Maro LMFAO.

[pepper]

They are not bad. just okay. I liked the scene in snowy kiss where they are about to jump and she is jumping alone. That was kinda deep and very realistic. Whole PV's is just too monotonous (cool slo-mo effect thought) and it could have more than just fighting. The storyline misses a plot. She could dramatically break up with the "1st guy" or sth, then You & Me, then sth dramaticall could happend in the end (no, not the car fight) in the end of "You & Me" or in the begining of "snowy kiss". That would make more sense. Now we got crush and fighting without any reasons.

and I liked "bouncybouncy" car scenes in Wake me up.

I just don't like her being cute. She's too cute in Wake me up with her faces.

[mizuki-7]

I quite like these 2 PV ! At least they are well filmed not like Love songs trilogy ...

[Jester]

IMO, the story lines are Wake me up -> You & Me / Snowy kiss
Like other said that Wake me up is about the story about bad relationship with a boyfriend and she's also have a good feeling to her close friend (Maro) too.
At the end shown up that while hugging with her boyfriend she's also holding Maro hand (but they didn't break up).

You & Me and Snowy kiss are something like her imagination. You & Me is a positive thing that what if she's in relationship with Maro everything would be great blah blah blah.
The fight scene in You & Me may refer to the normal couple that they might have a little fight in a real life for a couple. and then in Snowy kiss is showing the negative side thing that what if she's in relationship with Maro and everything turn out bad? Maybe they have to fight all the time. So the end of the Snowy kiss that why no one picks her up because both relationship with Maro isn't real, so he's not gonna pick her up.

[visionfactory]

They are definitely better than You&Me but I think I won't watch snowy kiss once again, it's rather plane and boring just repeating the same scene over and over. Wake me up is the best ^_^
