Thoughts on Mirrocle World PV/

[Choyan]

wow lol.... thanks Idealist! your analysis really pulled my thoughts together, I did think about one or two points you mentioned but definitely didn't see it all the way you did but anyway,

It's a pretty interesting PV imo, those high heels were high, 7-8'' ? lol o-o

a few things I want so say too,
the way they displayed the text... doesn't it sorta remind you of something computer-ly? (such as The Matrix 'pro gramme' thing?) it sorta has this "Enter" feeling to it as the words disappear, like... "entering the world" or how a game finishes loading and you get into the game?

[AyuGAME]

Idealist your intepretation is very cool!!!
good job

[se7entheaven]

well I've watched it and its quite confusing actually
and seems so fast though...even the song is 5:18...I dunno...its so so
even ayu looks good in it
some of u are rite
its quite...plain...nothing really special

I think it would have been a whole lot better if it was actually more Matrix like.
Rather than a fashion shoot having a hidden meaning behind every outfit.

Iuno.
I think it could have been shot a lot better.
I was expecting something a lot more for her 10th anniversary pv.

[[taskin.ayu]]

Sure it was nice and etc, but yes I agree the whole thing kinda got comical with Ayu's over the top expressions. XDD I mean she crossed the line over fierce, and it just looked funny. D:

[Jwiz]

excellent interpretation you have here, thanks alot!

Boring & Lame

Boring because the song needed more action in it perhaps Ayumi pulling a few moves but noting fancy to make it more entertaining, i didnt really see the point with Ayumi wearing her lingerie.... wait.. i didnt really see a point in the PV haha. But reading that review of the PV, i may of gotten the PV's meaning, however, it was still very boring.

Lame because of her facial expressions and when the glass shatter effect came she just... ruined it even more :| And that telephone both part... omg .

She has done better, really disappointing for a 10th anniversary PV.

Idealist that was beautiful!... it does makes a lot of sense now!! thanks! n_n

[AyUmIXx]

Idealist: wow!!! you're awesome..though some parts are still confusing..but i kinda got what you meant
thanks anyway..

at first i thought that ayu's just acting as a spy-girl who is being chased by the man in black coats..and ayu needs to change her identities in a lot of different outfits...

[Melrose]

Idealist: Nice explanation! I didn’t look at it that way at all. The only thing I’m not buying is the part about singularity. I’m not sure Ayu would go that in-depth as to make a video of going out of your body in technology, etc. Instead, I’m replacing that with the theme of doing things yourself or letting technology take over. It all still makes sense then.

[hiroshi_ben]

Idealist: Im impressed by ur interpretion!!youre superb!!^^

[mylovelyayumi]

^ can't agree more.. you're awesome Idealist..

[Dustie]

Looks like a mash up of few random ideas... She looks good, but the whole thing just doesn't hold together...

So much fuss about her going to Venice and we ended up with a weak Panasonic CM.
So much fuss about her going to Paris and we end up with a medicore PV.

Glad the covers are fine at least.

[hiroshi_ben]

^yup i thought the cm will be very special since she went to venice...but ended up its just ayu standing infont of some venice scenery with her typical lumix camera pose...LOL...at least the pv and covers were great

[sitara]

ayu is overdoing that sexy thing 0.o;;;;;;
and she moves like in (don't) leave me alone.

i'm very dissapointed, there was no point whatsoever in that pv!! D:
i'm bored to death!!!

[ruixiong89]

Despite the nice explanation by Idealist, personally, I'm still not really buying into it?

But even so, I still think the PV is a GOOD PV! C'mon! You got to face it, the only real competition Ayu has is herself! The Mirrorcle World PV easily thrashes most PVs out there, it's only because we've seen better from Ayu that we're really unhappy.

It's a REALLY fun video to watch, IMO. Simply because it's amusing, empowering yet serious all at the same time! Enough about the "Oh, I so hope she had something to do with mirrors in this PV". That's not a very good reason isn't it? Ayu doesn't need to fulfill YOUR concept of the PV. It's something that she and her director needs to work out.

So my verdict for the Mirrorcle World PV is that it still rocks, though definitely one of the weaker PVs from her that we've seen.

I think she's applying the same strategy as Hikki but in a more commercial sense. Release something weird, possibly even something that turns people off (i.e. Beautiful World and Kiss & Cry PVs) but then still see sales sky-rocket! But I think Ayu does it much better. Haha!

[Namie]

I like the song but the PV....lame. Her face expression is TO much! and I hate those moves she does.

[ImpactBreaker]

I thought it was very cool! I love her provocative appeal on the phone booth

However I can't help but foressee the ammount of "ayu copied Madonna" comparisons on those anti-fan sites LOL I was almost shocked when I saw ayu with the black feathered hair, and I was like: huh? Am I watching Madonna's Rain here? LOL

[Cyria]

Idealist, great analysis!

I'm very happy with this PV, mostly because I just adore Ayu's different looks. Lovely!
