Microphone PV

[y_nathz]

Ah so stunnahhh I was blown away to this epic imagination in this PV *.*

[TheBaronAndAyu]

.....Ummm...okay then.....

This was random. Wierd, but creative actually. Quite avant garde

Also, it looks like we're getting an interconnected PV? Maybe Microphone is the negative side to Sexy little things' positive side? Sorta like glitter/fated?

I loved the PV. Very artistically executed like the You Were... PV. These are the type of Ayu PVs I have missed.

I like the interpretation already posted. Another thing to add is that all the "memories" stored in the phone are being ripped up and thrown away by the cathedral ayu. Like she wants to forget them, because they make her so angry.

I hope it makes more sense when we get the SLT PV.

I like how Ayu made this video connect with Sexy little things. Anyway, I don't like the video that much. Ayu is featured for like, 1 minute, and when she is up, it's her walking and doing the lip thing. It was all about the cool looking British people XD Really diggin' the organ's in the song though.

So it's connected with Sexy Little Things? Nice no wonder she wears the same outfit in SLT. I can't wait to see the PV, and I think this one is very very nice, I love Ayu's weird PV.

OMG CREEPY!! BUT AWESOME!!!~ its as good as ladies night!!

[elite]

I like the song a lot, the PV just isn't doing anything for me. I did find that King Diamond wannabe funny though.

[Mayayu]

Thank you for sharing videos!!!
nice PVs, definitely not my kind but Ayu & staff really did a good job... thumbs up!

it really is Lady GaGa style... but somehow i think Ayu does it better, i might love PV better after watching several times


absolutely love Sexy Little Things song preview, can't wait for full song ^^♪

+ awesome nails, lots of copy-fun ahead (!)

[sitara]

finally ayu made an awesome pv again. i was way overdue!! i'm epicly pleased
great concept, great direction, please continue this way!

I actually came away a bit disappointed with this PV. Maybe my expectations were too high because it was Mushi who directed. His best work is still Ladies Night. Ayu was in this PV far too little I felt and some of the transitions could have definitely gone with the music better.

I agree. Maybe I've just become to critical "in my old age?", but Microphone just registered as "interesting" to me, not glorious or show-stopping. The funny thing is, I think a lot of that simply has to do with the cinematography, rather than the actual concept, costumes, and so forth in the PV itself.
I guess the camera angles in Microphone just felt too regular and uninspiring. It could be, of course, that I've just gotten too attached to the selective focus and crazy fore-middle-background focus play that occurs in so many of her PVs (I don't know the directors, but, for example, Part of me, JEWEL, rainy day, About you, Marionette, INSPIRE, Moments, talkin' 2 myself, Sparkle Greatful Days, Because of You, Hanabi ~Episode II~, Together when...and so on, each including this effect to a varying degree). I guess...it was neat, but it didn't have enough peculiar edge for me? *is too critical/picky*

[Mirrorcle]

Wow. o.o
Okay, so who can list off all her PV references? :O
I wasn't a hardcore enough fan to notice any, bahaha...

[Misa-chan]

Wow, really interesting PV!! I like~~

Hmm, as for the meaning behind the PV, I'm not quite sure but it seems like the PV is "unmasking" the hidden/ugly nature of humans. First, she shows us the normal perceptions that we have of people: a responsible soldier, a happy family playing cards, a "sister", a janitor, a white-faced clown, ayu herself as a calm sister. Then all these perceptions are swept away and the horror and violence comes out: the soldier tears her uniform off, the family's dysfunctional, the sister is a brother in gag, the janitor able to dance so well, the clown turns out to be a pyromaniac, and ayu herself goes slightly mad.

The guy in the white box during the first verse of the PV is kinda symbolic, like how at first, he's trapped inside the box, but manages to come out in the end. So maybe he's symbolizing the ugly side of us that's always hiding and trying to get out??...

I don't know how that links up to the iphone concept though lol...

The one that was in the windowsill? Yeah, that was a woman...but I thought the same thing. Being trapped, but trying to get out. This PV seems to be about that. What someone earlier posted about how it's meant to show the ugly/abnormal side of humans is more or less what I was thinking. They show these people in what you could say is a typical way, a normal way. Then they are shown in a different light.

I just noticed the creepy little clown puppet in the room where Ayu and her family is playing. Nice detail
