I love this pv. I love everything about it. I just wish her makeup was different. She's to pale and pasty. She needed more color to herself. The lipstick should of been switched with the different kimono's and she needed eye shadow. It was not what I expected at all though. I still love it nonetheless.

To me it was just a dramatic-wannabe nonsense.

And the song is so unoriginal.. chorus repetetive and the rest is just another momentum.

And the red lipstick?

....

Aye-aye. I second that.

The PV itself was very well done, nice job on her and the director's part.
The song, however, was nothing special.

I love the costumes so much. They're just stunning to me. I love the beginning when she is standing beside the tree. The colours of the PV are just so ____. I don't have any proper vocabulary.

The song is great. I love Ayumi's ballads, they always get to me and I always enjoy them.

If this is really the same director as Born to be/BLUE BIRD/whatnot, he has done a great job this time.

I am upset that the PV is only available on torrent right now.

Me too, I was really expecting her to grow into a tree...it would have been a better conclusion, I think. I don't really understand why she died and if we are supposed to think she killed herself. I feel like her lover at the end just sort of appeared at the last minute, as if he was just thrown in for kicks.

The song is all right, it sounds pretty formulaic as far as Ayu ballads go, but it may grow on me.

Haha, it reminded me of an anime scene, and that guy in the end didn't help (he looked like an anime character!!) But it was a very beautiful PV, even with the horrid CGI. And in terms of cheesy? I think I can name you at least 10 Ayu PVs that are cheesier than this (i.e. Dearest, HANABI ~episode II~, HEAVEN). Ayu should've had black hair instead of blonde, and her bright red lipstick doesn't bother me too much. I'm glad this PV turned out good because the director doesn't have a very good track record with directing Ayumi's PVs. This is definitely one of her better PVs.

As for the song, it's honestly nothing special. It's pretty, and I'm glad it's not a dumb song like Startin' or Beautiful Fighters. However, it sounds like a mix of Walking Proud and No Way to Say. She needs to do something about her ballads fast because they've all been sounding exactly the same for a good 3 years.

Well, she grew into flowers. Which means they never found her body before it decomposed (her hair kept growing and growing!!!! lol).

I love the PV. I love the colors. I love the atmosphere of the video. The song is great (although not the best). Once again, ayu did it. now I'm off to watch it again with my friend^^

Well, they always say the best fertilizers are the natural ones. at least according to a passage I've read from SAT studying.

First, I can't believe she chose Shuya as her male counterpart in the PV AGAIN!... Does she have a crush on him or something?

I actually thought CG was way better than in Startin', for example, or any of her videos for that matter... the horse looks completly real to me. Snake is obvious CG, so is that bug (what's the name in English?) and the butterflies.

Really nice to see her in a kimono, although the things she had in her hair - that looked like cheap plastic, kinda distracting. Others were dressed nicely as well, although I have no idea why they were there in the first place (what for?), except for Shuya's character.

The sound effects were distracting also, especially when the flowers grew, it was just too much of a detail to add sfx in that moment.

I actually thought, after the very first scenes of the PV, the whole thing is like an answer to 'poker face', her very first video. There was a tree there with Ayu standing in front, and so there is in this one, but as the video progresses it shows that's not really the concept (although they could have had such in mind).

When a DVD rips comes out, I'm gonna try to do a video edit with part of Me and poker face...

Oh and BTW: I LOVED the plummeting red lipstick <3 The scenes on white background remind me of old Ayu.

this is one of the most beautiful PV's I've seen in a loooong time. I love it.
I like the song also, but I think it has to grow on me before I go screaming 'I LOOOOOOOOVE IT!!!' ^^

I like the PV too, I love her dancers too haha.. The guys are so extremely hot, especially Shuya.. Oi so cute..

I don't know, in comparison to many of her latest released PV's I like it a lot more, but I don't think it matches up to some of her earlier PV's.. I wish the scale of it was a little larger somehow.
