Ayumi's PV's lately...

Lately it seems like all Ayu's PV's have been connected in some way...

Distance Love (glitter, fated)
Microphone, sexy little things
Virgin Road, Love songs, Last angel

I'm kind of tired of these connection PV's.
Most of the time they make no sense to me.
Does anyone else miss when Ayu had good music videos that don't have some crazy story-line connection?
I mean not all of her conneciton PV's are bad, I just think she should give it a break and try something new. X_x

I kind of agree... i like most of the PV's that dont have a connection, but SLT and microphone were so different that i loved them both so much! Maybe because the songs were good too.

Because love songs and last angel were connected, i found that each one individually was kinda boring to watch

but like do it again kept me into it the whole time.

Totally. I used to admire Ayu for her PVs a lot and loved showing them to friends because I felt it really added to the overall presentation of Hamasaki Ayumi. To show off how great she is and how original and fantastic her PVs were. Now, I wouldn't show them much of her PVs from recent days at all.

if they make sense it's fine.. but to have PV's that are supposed to connect together into a story make no sense is kind of annoying.

but to answer this

I thought Virgin Road was fantastic as a stand-alone PV, but to add Last angel and Love song onto it just threw everything off. They're visuaully great just... I don't really get it.

yeah I echo the same thing & frankly after Rock'n'Roll Circus , the only PV that I really enjoyed watching was Dream ON

The other PVs (besides MOON & crossroad) are those type which really made me go o_o even though songs wise , they're still good but it's not something I would watch again & as a result , I don't bother to put those clips inside mp3player

then again it's a bit too late to say something like that since I already preordered my CD + DVD copy of Love songs from 5music :p

Well, I think her videos really need to stand alone again. I just loved Sweet Season, crossroad and Moon, but I can't stand Love Song & Last Angel. Virgin Road is a pv that was really beautiful as a stand-alone concept, but coupled with Love Song and Last Angel, it get's kind of boring.

Whether PVs are connected or not it doesn't matter to me I look at a PVs as it's own individual beauty and if the PVs connect in a way it's kinda a cool bonus. As long as the PVs don't rely on each other for them to be good then I'm cool with them. Also the only thing that connected microphone and sexy little things were the beginning and endings. Basically microphone is a video that sexy little things ayu watches, that's it. I feel that was a great connector to signify to people that both songs are on the same album.

I honestly don't have the feeling she is doing much connections PVs. I mean, she did Distance Love in 2007 and now again in 2010 with Microphone/Slt and VR/La/Ls. There are 5 PVs on Love songs, 6 PVs on RnRC, 6 PVs on NL and 5 PVs on GUILTY that aren't connected through a storyline. I personally like the storyline PVs a lot (even though I didn't watch the Love songs ones yet because I didn't get my copy). I think it's a nice change once in a while and there is now way I could get tired of them yet.

She's done 3 connected PV series in her whole 12 album career.

That's really not a lot. Not even worth complaining about.

edit - maybe 4, including sunrise/sunset.

I still think Ayu aces in her PVs overall...les Sunrise/Sunset/HUMMING...but generally there is some quality in her PVs. I saw a revival in standard since You were...
Comparing what I get now with some in GUILTY and NL..i dun think i have any ground to complain...(im not a picky person either)

Oh come on!!! She hasn't done a WHOLE lot of connecting PVs!!! =_=;; I don't any reason why you guys are complaining about it when she doesn't do a whole of them. When she doesn't do them, you guys will complain that she's not doing MORE connecting PVs! So please... Make up yo damn minds!! (I rest my case! )

i like all her pvs, connected or not!
there must be a reason for ayu to do a storyline pv..with different songs contributing her different feelings.

I think her pv with connected stories are good, though i need to watch them for more than one time, but i think the ones without stories are more difficult to understand Still, I think the pvs of AYU are very in high quality and I really enjoyed it (Besides Glitter/Fated/...haaa!!)

I don't care as long as they're good. In fact, Love Song+Last Angel+Virgin Road are the only ones I really like. I think Micro and SLT are better as separate PVs, the only thing that connects them is the the fact there's one last scene of SLT in Micro and her wearing the Micro dress at the end of SLT, that's it. It's kind of cool how they connected them but other than that it was very random. Glitter/fated was cheesy, but it was the first, the test pilot. So I won't be too hard on it, I still don't like it that much.

Oh I forgot about all of those... LS-LS-VR are still my favorite. With B&D-Pride second.... Only because I love her with dark hair! Plus she was beyond stunning in Pride...

to be honest, i dont mind connected PVs. but seriously i dont get the link of Love song/Last angel/Virgin Road. To get Virgin Road connected to this was really random and i dont understand at all.. I find it weird, but definitely not disappointed. The only slight disappointment I have for Love song and Last angel PVs is that it's kinda simple isnt it? just ayu being chased after and fainted, and in Last angel, she is still being chased after by someone.

for SLT/Microphone. At least they are both visually awesome PVs so i hv nth much to complain about. But correct.. the link i dont get it. This is unlike vogue/Far away/SEASONS and glitter/fated which both have clear storylines.

The thing is Microphone and Slt can be standalone if you want them to be. The connection isn't vital to the enjoyment. So many people loved Microphone before Slt came out, and they didnt even know it was connected.

And people seem to be forgetting her wonderful PVs like dlb, BALLAD, You were... etc etc. Some years she just goes through a dry spell. I think (miss)understood is her best album PV wise!

Similar theme doesn't mean storyline PV to me. You can still watch them on their own without having the feeling that something is missing.
