Sunrise PV thoughts

[ComatoseBunnySnatcher]

^ true dat.


I liked it, but it is/was boring and I probably won't watch it again.

I like the song though!

[AyUta]

It was nice, but very boring x_x. I wouldn't watch it again either.

[SpiceSquad!]

i expected more.. more storyline.. but it's ok..

DANCER with HEADMICS really RUIN the vid.. )

[ren'ai]

I don't understand the need for it. We might aswell have had a performance for Music station or something...

I only liked the stage :\

[Tony G]

Boring, but nice. Needed closer shots of the TA members, cos it made them look fake only have those distance shots.

Looks like Sunset is going to be the same thing, just at sunset with the female dancers. Will probably be worse than this...

Also - the song has been slightly remastered. More "shiny" and clear, you can tell by the synth sounds. It's not exactly the same as the leaked mp3.

[pchan1986]

i just saw her sing, the dancers, and a flash of the TA members (which i thought was lame cuz i didnt realli see them that clearly). truthfully tho, i liked it. not WOW but okay. the only fix up i would recommend would be more shots other than the stage, clear view of her fans (come on, they were there for a reason), her hair? it looked like the right side was shaved but it wasnt. im asking too much but thats wat i think shouldve been done. shes still goegeous tho <3

[ayu_ready?]

haven't watched it yet, but as I have seen from the CM, I'm not going to like it
looks really cheap to me

this white filter thingy is ridiculous. wouldn't it be better to spend more money on a nice lightning equipment or smth?

oh, yeah, and I hate ayu's dancers, you may kill me, but I hate them, because I've had enough of them for these 2 years, it just gets so horribly annoying, you can't pretend

what I wanted to say more...this scene she was standing at, I've seen it in one recent PV of artist miray (gyaru)

so it wasn't built specially

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

It's so fun and lighthearted. Fab.

[sitara]

same opinion - not enough fans!! D:
if they bothered with TA fans coming over for this video, there should be more closeups! otherwise it could have been anybody they picked up from the street.

aah boring.

[Love Appears]

I could barely watch it all the way through. :/

Beachy scene is pretty.
But it just doesn't go anywhere.

It's like fairyland without a plot or something.

[PEARL]

1 word.
rocks

[kirei_ayumi]

I love it! its very fun and happy-go-lucky

Same thing with all the over photoshopping we've been seeing lately. Bottom line is, they did alter the closeup shots of her compared to the shots for the rest of the video. As to why? Who knows.

Actually, I kinda realized Days is the first PV where her wrinkles actually are that obvious. Maybe she watched it and realized that or something... or maybe someone like Max or whoever commented that she should like cover them up or whatever the next time? *shrug*

@polkadotjewel: lol I hope you're not, but lol free extra = a fan. omg I can't believe you would even allow yourself to be considered a Miley Cyrus fan! (no offense to her fans though...)

[Aisha_Angel]

What wrinkles are you guys talking about? Her skin was flawless in Days.

The only thing I saw wrong with Ayu's body was her sudden lack of an ass and a scar on the side of her forearm in this video. The white lighting just made her look like...like a Pillsbury Dough-Girl with a dead plant on her head.

[truehappiness]

It's like fairyland without a plot or something.

IMO, they probably would've done the fairyland-y thing if they hadn't done the live performance-y aspect.

And fairyland SO didn't have a plot. "Let's have fun!" => Oh no, our house is on fire. RUN!!! => Let's play in the water => "Awww."

[foxhana]

looks like she is going american....................... i hate this pv. sunrise and sunset is at the same set. her boobs look over pushed up in the cover too... and overly ash hair? But hey, I might get the colour some day hahahahaha

Really is sunrise and sunset all about concrete with too little fans(or maybe worries of over weight on the concrete), shouldn't it be more about the beach and stuff, or maybe she has done hat so many times she should be dancing in the resort rooftop garden looking at sunset or something, with bbq, and cocktails.

I don't even remember how the song goes after listening to it. Did anyone has this? >_<

[truehappiness]

Sounds like you went into the song hating it, which has the effect of not remembering the song after listening, so yeah.

Going American? She's had PVs like this before, so what's the difference? And being about concrete? I don't think you get the point of the videos.. oi. It's a live performance-y setting like a-nation, with less distance between her and the fans [compared to a-nation]~

I think Sunset might be better since it'll be our first exposure to the song..

[Aisha_Angel]

Why is it that you always assume someone went in hating the song, truhappiness? Some people try to give things a SECOND chance after the PV comes out.

[Chibi_Venus]

Pros:
-Well, it was the first time I heard this song besides the commerical. (Okay, I heard previews, but I barely remember them.) So that was a definite plus.
-The beach scenes were very nice. I've missed them.
-It's kind of reminiscent of "Fly high," which is almost touching.
-It isn't directed by (Kazuyoshi). lol Seriously, that man would have made her stage presence look horrifying. ><

Cons:
-The whole backup dancers/singers thing. ...what?
-Way too white. It can get blinding, lol. I understand trying to make it sunny, but because it's on a stage outside, it's even BRIGHTER.

[yoshino]

I love the song, but not really the concept of Ayu singing 'live' in her pvs.
The scenery is ok for me. but if onli they could show more of her TA fans. I dun like the male dances behind her. lolz. I think it can be more summery feel. Indeed I still like Fairyland pv more. There's Ayu dancing n the scenery is definitely way better. 'Live' perf in pv still can't win pvs with storylines that are more depth to it.
Oh and I love how I can see Ayu's tattoo in the pv. hahaz.
