[FIVE] PV's thoughts!

[Andrenekoi]

^The "girl" with Ayu in BRILLANTE is Timmy

[TeamAyu2004]

^ i read that, but I cant seem to find any other information on him... like what he's done and what not... if I google Timmy, it gets lots of stuff.. lol

[truehappiness]

He was a MySpace musician beforehand. He was also featured on NHK World's Imagine-nation as a host.

I've seen that show a few times so it's weird now that he's a part of Ayu's staff ,lol.

[TeamAyu2004]

lol... I found his full name and found a youtube page with some of his covers... apparently he was just an ayumi fan!
He's one of those youtube stars... lol

[MemorialAddress]

I only watched BRILLANTE since I don't like any of the other songs / don't watch videos for songs I don't enjoy
But anyway, I really liked the BRILLANTE video! It was really odd but a good sort of odd. Ayu looked great but all those random men... wtf was it, a brothel?

You know the fact that all the guys were bulky wrestlers seemed just random eyecandy or something at first but with your explanation it makes a lot of sense. More posts like yours here at AHS please!

thank you

progress 4.5/5
At first I was a bit surprised by this PV. It didn't even feel like a professional musicvideo, more like a youtube-fanmade one. BUT it's really interesting and not so usual from her.

Why... 4.5/5
Yay for her strange PVs! Are my favorites . Why... it's highly influenced by Alice in Wonderland. But, it's not the unoriginal PV with playing cards, rabbits and cheshire cats. Ayu and JUNO looks lovely together as when they're singing imo. Love the last part when she's walking to the tree.

beloved 3.5/5
Another PV with childs. It's really cute and I like when it's changing from b/w to colors. Nothing amazing though but the last part it's great .

ANother song 2/5
No. Just no. Boring and unoriginal. She's gorgeous but Urata acts too much like a random american r'n'b dancer.

BRILLANTE 5/5
A-m-a-z-i-n-g. As for progress this is really unusual from her previous PVs. She truly looks like a queen or a egyptian goddess. She's fierce but elegant at the same time. There's something mystical and ambiguous with the Tim and Ayu scenes though. And the last part gave me goosebumps.

[bondingo]

progress: Pretty stupid to be honest. I was expecting a lot more since I like the song, but it doesnt even seem like an Ayu video.

ANother song: It's such an R&B video! The outfits and everything, the lighting and all that; I actually kinda like it. Definitely something new for Ayu, so it was cool to see. Still hate Naota being in the song though.

Why...: VERY cool. The butterfly room was clearly straight out of the Ladies Night PV, which is one of her best imo. The whole thing was very surreal and cool. Another interesting, new kind of video from Ayu.

beloved: Really boring. Total throwaway PV.

BRILLANTE: I was expecting a lot more based on the beginning, but it just kept getting a bit weirder but not better. I liked the end where she's on the throne and bleeds from her eye, and her outfit was INCREDIBLE, but I feel like it was missed potential.

[yoshino]

progress I love the last part showing Ayu. The whole part of keep moving forward (at an awesome speed!) meeting random people. I like that concept. =)

Why... feat. JUNO such a pretty pv!! All the roses and butterflies. But I don't get what the whole thing means.

ANother song is just a simple pv. I love Ayu's sexy dress! I was hoping she could dance more than just singing.

beloved I love the concept of 'under the same sky'. The whole pv just gives u
some sort of warmth. =)

BRILLANTE scares me at the end!! especially the blood tears! The whole song is mysterious and Ayu seems to be in pain and got psychoed by Timmy. I dun get why she was surrounded with the guys but the whole pv is quite cool.

So far I love BRILLANTE and progress the most ♥

[yizhihenanjing]

before i comment about the PV, i have to say that Au's PVs' amazing. It grows on me over time. Some PVs that I used to consider boring, at right mood, right time, I feel it amazing coz it gives me the specific feelings I want, for example, Sunrise/Sunset, You were, Crossroad and most of PVs in A song for XX. Therefore, for the new PVs in 5, I believe that all of them will make me love as time goes by, except ANOTHER SONG =.=

1. Progress: 7/10, at first I dont like it because I think it's not like Ayu PV at all, it's just like discovery video, lol. However, after watching it together with reading the lyrics again, I totally love it. It brings some kind of "social" feelings. It's really my feelings lots of time in my daily life when i stop moving and begin to look at thousands of people..It's hard to explain but I love the concept of this video.

2.Beloved: 6/10 I havent watched it that much and didnt really focus..I think it may grow on me over time coz im not really impressed Ayu's dress in worn out style with black and white background on the beach, which is quite boring. However, Ayu looks very beautiful and attractive in the shoot with black dress. I also like the sentence" under the same sky" at the end. However, it may not be the PV that I will watch again and again, at least for now.

3.Another song: 3/10. Basicaly I didnt like the vocal distribution of this song, Urata sings too much and Ayu's just like a back-up singer. Therefore, in the PV, Urata occupies the screen most of the time too, the concept and performance are boring, I try to suffer the bore and watch til the end with the expectation of something surprising coming up, but it disappointed me. =.=

4. Why: 9/10, the PV concept 's very beautiful and creative but Ayu's acting look strange and unnatural sometimes. Anyway, in generaql it's good PV that 's worth re-watching.

5.BRILLANTE: 8/10. Lots of people say it 's the best PV in Five, may be.. I admit it's the best in terms of concept, idea, Ayu's acting and great impression. HOWEVER, it makes me feel ...a little sick. I share room with another girl now and for sure I will not turn this video on when she's around. It makes me feel a little like porn stuff (sorry). I dont like the one next to her and hold her, im not sure male or female but that one's appearance make me feel sick =.=. The scene of man in underwear and the men's hand try to reach Ayu and pull her down....omg...I dont know what to say, sorry, it's impressive, creative but they should reduce a little. The only thing I like is the part Ayu dies with bleeding tear.

beloved and why are amazing I love them.

Yeah I don't really understand the big hype on BRILLANTE too...I mean it's a good song but I don't think it's really amazing. Oh well, guess we just have different tastes.

Well here's my opinions:

1. progress
Ugh...if I had watched the PV without first listening to progress I would've had a very hard time enjoying it as much as I do. The PV was soooooo boring & it made me really dizzy. I kind of have an issue with first person perspective when it comes to watching stuff (I can't play first person games). I almost couldn't finish the video, so that pretty much gives you an idea of what I think of it. 1/10

2. ANother song feat. URATA NAOYA
Slightly more interesting than progress, & definitely less annoying. Either way it was still pretty boring & made the song feel long (which it already is). Choreography was a little questionable at times...almost like I felt like it didn't really fit the song's atmosphere. This is pretty much on the same level as the Decision PV for me...not really much going on & plain. URATA NAOYA & Ayu looked really good in the PV but that was about it. 3/10

3. Why... feat. JUNO
Now this video was interesting! It actually made me fall in love with the song. I don't know if I totally understood what was going on, but maybe if I read the lyrics & watched it again I'd figure it out. Either way, it was not at dull or uninteresting...I really enjoyed it . It was the best out of the bunch imo. 10/10

4. beloved
Hm, it was a soothing video. I think Ayu looked very elegant in it...she looked her age, but in a good way. It was mature & really showed a soft side of Ayu. I thought the children were cute in it as well. Was it amazing? No but it was pleasant to watch & it made me appreciate the song for what it is..plus I found it very touching in the end with the 'Under the Sky' . 9/10

5. BRILLANTE
My oh my, the hype for this one lol. Well tbh, I didn't really get the PV ...of course I hate to say it, but most of the time I just like to watch & not rack my brain to decipher the underlying themes. It wasn't a bad PV over all, but it was a little awkward at certain points how they all seemed so mesmerized by her...almost like she was the queen of wrestling or something lol. I know I'm probably way off with my interpretation but eh, whatever. It really irritated me how they kept cutting back to her in that one dude's arms...it was like WTF! Idk why it bothered me, but it just seemed stupid for some reason. I found the end pretty shocking with her dying so suddenly...It actually kind of startled me, especially when blood began running from her eyes. Over all, the PV was interesting & the guys weren't hard on the eyes either . 8/10

[AYUCREA]

9/10
BRILLANTE
beloved
Why

5/10
progress: I want more ayu..

3/10
ANother song: most boring PV in FIVE

He's one of those youtube stars... lol

oh wow really?
i'll try to search for it.
then he's one lucky fan but he got potential to be a great composer though, see , almost everyone loves BRILLANTE in AHS. and he was used to be a choir member too long time ago, he said. it's pretty cool to know that he's the one who sang those chanting parts. though it's still weird for me that he appeared on the PV with female look lols.. why don't just give him a proper male look. lols.

[emi♡]

I thought I saw someone say that he had composed for another japanese singer too? Maybe thats how they met?

Might not remember correctly though.

[AyUmIXx]

Timmy got a facebook too
http://www.facebook.com/timothy.wellard?sk=photos

and seeing his pics.. he used to be styled up like drag queen before haha XDD no wonder!

[Ranma Matsuri]

Hmmm... the general consensus for the PV's are about what I expected. Still not sure if they're worth the effort to download and watch though.

[panda♥]

progress - boring, nothing interesting about it. i really like the song and wish they would've done more with the PV.

beloved - really simple, but still elegant feeling. i liked it.

Why... - pretty to look at, and i liked the butterflies. still really lacking IMO.

ANother Song - it's weird to see Ayu in a R&B type of PV and song. XD again, kind of interesting but overall boring.

BRILLANTE - i didn't know what to think of it at first, and decided to wait to read an interpretation before having an opinion. after reading, i do appreciate the video more than i did the first time around.

her interpretation for BRILLANTE made me appreciate the video more, but it is still far from the best. i wish they would've put more time into making the PVs. IMO, all of them would've been ALOT better, but maybe they had a reason for making such simple PVs.

[yizhihenanjing]

god, I read this idea this noon in some post but i didnt care it, now im watching Progress PV again and amazing!!! All those "google-image" scenes 're actually like a collection of all sceneries in Ayu PV, it's amazing, it even includes the alse in ladies night and everything else, so amazing, how creative it is !!!

[yizhihenanjing]

let's me try to remember, the city street in rainbow, inspire, some reminds me of Curtain call and days, the railway station in heaven, the club in lady dynamite, hotel way in ladies night, the room like in because of you, western view like in love song, last angel pv, bold & delicious, some wild area like in dearest acoustic, desert like in inspire, virgin road, the highway like in next level, yeah and this is actually dearest acoustic feeling with the desert feeling and electric pole, this crowded beach makes me think of sunrise/sunset more than fairyland or surreal, blue birds,
