"Feel the love" short ver. PV

[pepper]

Im comfused because:

1) I don't like the fact that the moral is "fatty won't get love till she get super skinny"

buuuuuuuuut

2) I don't like being fatty, and I think it's super motivational...

aaaaaaaaand it's pretty cheaaaaaap and american....

buuuuuuuut...

super entertaining! :O


+ finaly something diffrent and pretty funny.
the fatty girl is super cute.

[Coelacanth]

The song itself is about Ayu's own missteps when it comes to her relationships. Ayu might have used the PV to satirize the lengths people go through to search for their love. That could explain the slapstick nature of the video, especially Ayu's bizarre acting at the end. But who knows?

People are so butthurt that Ayu seems to be embracing the notion that thin=desirable... Well, I don't wanna delve too deeply in the biology of human beings, because that's an entirely different discussion altogether... But when it comes to mating, we look for two things: people that radiate health and symmetry.

Of course her spirit changed. if she felt confident at the beginning, she would go to see him directly. But she wasn't. It's why she does sport. Even if you smile, if you don't feel good yourself, people'll see it. But when you accept yourself & are truly happy with what you are, you are radiant & appealling.

I mean... "did that girl just turn into Ayu?" was probably on everyone's minds at the very end, hahaha.

Agree with you. i think most people just watched pv or film to divert themselves and don't analyse them. ^^

even though you are overweight, you can be very healthy (i think this is the meaning of the scene when she pushed away marathon players)...she can be very confident and don't have any fear..and of course looks pretty (the scene when she got make over, and DJ Hello Kitty suprised by the way she looks)

i don't know...i feel that the PV working nicely altogether..and supporting the song very well...

for people that said Hello Kitty is for a kid, you really don't know how famous Hello Kitty in Japan. I think every Japanese women love Hello Kitty!

I like your interpretation
If other AHS members have others interpretations, please post them. ^^

I don't think that a funny pv need an expensive budget. Feel the love is simple & it works for me.
Also, a movie, a pv, a book that is funny, could have a deep meaning. Both aren't incompatible.

[kalikagai]

Yay, I liked it a lot! Main actress is extremely cool

This PV is definitely quite inspirational, and I see no other moral than "every thing is in your own hand".

[Irish_Ayu_Fan]

It seems like they were going for "Fat Amy" out of Pitch Perfect, who is hilarious, as is this girl! Not gonna bother trying to defend this video or song because people are gonna cry no matter what. But I enjoyed it, wish there was a bit more Ayu though.

[Livey~]

LOL this pv is so.. I don't know

I need to watch it again before expressing an opinion~

Those final seconds of her acting like that are hilarious..

[happiholic★]

Well, I liked the scenes with Ayu looking all b-girl cute, but that's about it. I didn't find it offensive, though I could see why some would. I just didn't find it terribly funny. I feel like it almost tries too hard to be funny. I'm never gonna watch this PV again

[Zeke.]

Well on the offensive side of things, this is a generalization, but this man is a muscle hunk. He works his ASS OFF to get that body. It only goes to say that someone who works half as hard should be with him. If this man was obese then the girl wouldn't be going crazy over him to begin with. So in a way, she is in it for his body too.

Did you guys saw the part when he turned and looked at ayu? He seem to give the 'wow' expression. I guess they wanted to depict that he was clearly mesmerise by her beauty. Inner beauty of the fat girl.

AHAHAHAHA of course he goes WOW when he sees that mini skirt and her boobs falling out It's hilarious how people are trying to make it deep even when it's simply... not.

[NintendoHTF1242]

I JUST WANTED TO SEE THAT FITNESS TRAINER AND HE IS IN IT FOR TEN SECONDS BYE AYU

The animation scenes were so stupid and cheap. But everything else was really fun and silly to watch. The main actress reminds me of Adele though when she first gets her make-up done. But the moment I saw her hair-color I KNEW she was going to turn into Ayu in the final scene.

Meh. It was a fun and cute PV, and the song actually grew onto me.

[cosmicfirefly]

Wasn't sure of the video when I first saw it, and I'm still a bit on the fence about it, though I do think some parts are funny. I don't think it looks cheap, it seems like they were trying to go for a certain kind of look. Watching it a second time it seems like the guy knew her from before but didn't recognize her, so he's surprised by her new look. Their hug at the end felt more friendly than anything else, so I'm not sure if he's supposed to be her boyfriend.

[//ABEST]

it reminds me of Nanny's opening

I think exactly the same way! I like Ayu because she's Ayu and not a cheap american gurl wannabe
I hate to say this but I hate this PV even more than I hated the Komuro-style song.
I'll try to forget this and look forward

[ExodusUK]

At least the video does the song justice (both are dog shit).

THANK YOU.

[hidekirby]

Wow...
SO! I absolutely love the "I don't give a sh*t" feeling etc... It is incredibly fresh and I applause ayu for giving me something like that.

The "bad" points IMO are:
-Everything is incredibly cheap (don't get me started on the animated parts), and gross (the lady running with close ups on her body) etc... It is both a good thing (it made me laugh, how could they do something that bad?) and a bad thing, because I could imagine something similar with the same subject, but less cheap in its making, something that looks good but still funny. It could have been a really good clubbing PV. This PV had so much potential. In the end it is just funny, that's it.
-The end. I don't get it. Why ayu had to play the role (get an asian lady from the beginning...)? And the message is weird, even if I don't really care.

So I love when she surprise me, and I could have been more surprised! It is just that she could have something similar but artistically good, areal clubbing PV and not just a funny and cheap PV.

It has nothing to do with racism for me, but the fact that it went from chubby western girl to hottie slim asian is just a bit too confusing. If it's how people say that he "finally sees her inner beauty", it's weird that it changes ethnicity :p They should have just put ayu in a fatsuit

[mizuki-7]

There are nothing to analyse in this MV ! It's just a funny clip who could be a scene of an humoristic movie about love ^^ The animate scenes looks a little cheap but otherwise like I said it looks like an american movie =)

[hidekirby]

There IS definitely a problem with the ending.
It is so unclear and can lead to bad interpretations that can stain ayu's image.
I personally expected to see the fat girl with the guy just before the end to underline the fact that the "ayu persona" is just the way the other girl sees herself now. Like that movie with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Another good ending would have been the girl REALLY turning into a bimbo, then when she sees the man at the end, he is kissing a fat girl or sharing fried chicken with her haha... It would have been way funnier and clearer this way. Yet the "you can get what you want with hard work" message wouldn't be there.
