Gah, I just can't wait for the whole thing. I'm sure it'll just add to the awesomeness of this short edit

DITTO!! This PV seems mysterious and dark....

[ownsarai]

I really like where the PV is leading to. But I hate being left in the dark as to the rest of the story. I am anxiously waiting for the full version of it.

[MiiSan]

Hmmm, those flashes made me anxious to see the entire thing XD

Other than that... yeah, it is kinda boring, but beautiful at the same time, I like how the room is really dark ^^

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

I agree it's boring but the images are amazing and she looks beautiful really.

About the song, i feel i'm gonna like more blossom

[haikudasai]

Horrible.

The editing is really not good at all. Is it really that hard to do a seamless fade sequence? It just makes the scene feel sloppy.

The white balance changing right before a scene switch has been done before by her so many times that it feels stale.

She looks gorgeous.

Too dark, but I'm hoping the video transitions into a lighter ending...

She loves her props.

[truehappiness]

I think most of her PVs that have those elements are from this director, HAHAHAH.

[Yoake]

so short!!
so I can't say anything more at that moment.

I don't know if anyone else mentioned this coz I don't have time to read every single post (lol) but did anyone else notice that the clock was on 10 and 2?

[tenez]

For me, I've always found the fast-moving PV's to be less interesting. I like the ones, like DLB or Moments, that take their time to tell their stories or relay their meaning.

I liked the aesthetics of this one, though--I liked the set much better than Don't Look Back. It's softer (darker, yes) and I have a feeling the climax will be less of a surprise. You have just a feeling that there's something wrong in both PV's, but MOON kinda gives that away in the first seen. (Her with her head on her knees.)

I did notice, to my interest, that she looks to be in pain closer to the end. Emotional, physical...whatever (related to the bandages?). I was interested though. Can't wait to see the rest. ;D

[PoetGirl]

I love this kind of pv. I cant wait to see the rest

[Marseille]

well I like it. I realy couldn't stand the RnC PV's I mean I could tell a lot of money had been spent on them but I thought there could have been so much more done with Don't look back. and Sexy Little Things was waaaaaayyy too artsy

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I'm really anticipating the full version...lol

[Ayu_Love]

A lot of people are complaining that you can't see her face and she's just sitting there. But that's why I liked it and have good hopes for the full PV. I really don't care about the setting being glamourous or anything like that. Everything in that PV and setting had a deep, emotional sybolism to it, and the setting was perfect to describe (what seemed to me) the dark place she was in, the fact that the shadow covered her face and there were slow motions of her crying only emphizized that. So I for one am excited for a really emotional, in depth PV like this, with a deep message behind it. It reminds me so much of the old ayu. Actually the guy who composed 'A song for XX' did this one, too.

[~*Mabushii*~]

She looks beautiful, then again she usually does.
I withhold actual judgment on the PV until I can see the whole thing. I wasn't too thrilled with DLB's short pv clip either. Though I DO like it's full PV.
So.. I hope to be surprised when the entire PV comes out.

Until then, she looks pretty, the mood is dark and generally I tend to enjoy Ayu's darker PV's

[LydenLeaf]

I thought it was alright but I wish Ayu's face could show a bit more. I love the mysterious feel of the video. I'm looking forward to the full version.

[kendelle]

I like the artistic direction a LOT. It's nice to every now and then have a melancholy PV that doesn't really have a story. Her other storyless PVs lately have been like NEXT LEVEL or Sparkle.....very upbeat tracks. So MOON is a nice balance and really feels (at least to me) like a flashback to the day of the poker face PV.

Of course I still love epic story PVs like BALLAD, Days, Glitter/fated too.....and maybe the full version will have a bigger flashback as to why she is singing these words. I sense a link with BALLAD...maybe it's several years later and the character Ayu plays never got over the Shuya character's death...she still mourns not spending more time with him paying attention to his needs...or perhaps they argued and the night they went out on the motorbike was a make-up date?

So many unanswered questions until we see the full PV lol
