LOL
don't like to acknowledge the good

KUU IS HOT
AYU NOT.. and is a failure when ayu try this T^T

[noidea]

^ You should learn to accept other peoples opinions, seriously
We can pick up your "sales" theory from yesterday: 3 SPLASH sells really badly though it was heavily promoted and ayus last singles sold better, so 3 SPLASH has to be worse than any single ayu did since 1999 except talkin' 2 myself xDDDDD

And Kuu always comes off as fake and often as ****ty when she trys to be sexy o.0

[ALfromHELLSING]

ECSTASY PV, BUT Sparkle song. ^_^

For me it's the other way round.
Sexy isn't Ayu's cup of tea, she tries it to hard sometimes for example in Sparkle PV. Her sexy is another kind as Kuu's, but Kuu's one is more natural, it fits better to her. That's the reason she got that famous with her ero kakkoi/kawaii image I think.

I agree, although I must say Ayu can be sexy... look at all her my name's WOMEN performances... (don't) Leave me alone @ AT 08, Wacoal shots (the first one with the black & white version)... I think she looks really sexy, as in erotically sexy there.

For Sparkle... I would really blame it on the director, cos he's the one who'd be telling her what and how to do it so that she would look sexy. I believe we have all seen his infamous "demonstration" on how to be sexy in the Sparkle PV making, and Jesus was it horrible.

In the PV for Sparkle... Ayu is most of the time doing REALLY WEIRD stuff, like pulling her hair, squatting down, making awkward jerks/turns... they look really uncomfortable imo, and though I enjoy the mystery in the video... I just can't immerse myself fully into it cos I feel Ayu's discomfort.

Kazuyoshi Shimomura, you suck.

"Sparkle" is one of the worst PVs I've ever seen! So I voted for ECSTASY which is pretty good.

Sparkle PV is the worst example for Ayu being sexy, and I still think itm coming off so bad has two reasons: a) I think this PV was supposed to be a parody of the likes of Lady Gaga(but the director was too bad to show that) and b) the director is horrible
ans seriously, if in the middle of cutie honey(or was it butterfly? i forgot) theres suddenly stripper poles coming out of the ground and she does more moaning than singing for the rest of that song that is ****ty for me, though I dont blame it on her, thats more of avex fault

^ LOOL

Kuu is the most sexy in japan..
you need to see tours of her of the best dancer ♥

[noidea]

^ i watched kingdom tour 2008, opening was nice, but after UNDER it was just SO boring

[maze]

^ totally agree under isn't my fave performance of this tour the coat that she was dressing was so annoying..

but the majority of her performances are very good... the best i would say
look at this :

[noidea]

^ lol, every time people are talking about good performances of hers they link this xD
the idea of this is amazing of course, you dont see people walking out of aquariums often in concerts, but I think they didnt use all the potential of it + when she comes back on stage after the video her costume belongs to the ugliest ive ever seen, however the first two minutes sure are GREAT
but that could be because I dislike pirate themes lol too overused and boring

[maze]

^
kumi's dance and performances are the best of japan
bye!

[chestergringo]

I like the two, but I prefer Sparkle

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I like the Sparkle PV but it seemed a little cheap (not in the sexual sense) and a bit rushed too. Also she was trying to hard to be sexy, but that's probably not her fault its he-who-must-not-be-named's. Like, it looked like a PV that would be only included in a DVD and not an A-side, if that makes sense. ECSTASY, on the other hand was really well made and was naturally sexy, even though I tend to prefer Ayumi's PVs more than Kumi's (and her music for that matter).

Edit: Now that I think about it though, I give Kudos to Sparkle for having a deeper message though ( ).
