Thoughts on 'glitter' PV - Page 10

ohsixthirty · #**181** 10th July 2007, 07:31 PM

ok, so her body guard sees the light falling and rushes over to protect her...except thats IMPOSSIBLE. you can't react that quickly. ugh.

my only hope is that those pv within a pv scenes will be released as a full pv themselves. those weren't so bad looking. this one has grown on me a little bit, but i still say its one of my least favorite ayumi pvs.

namiie · #**182** 10th July 2007, 07:38 PM

It's okay. Personally I think the feel of the PV is too dark for the lightness that is "glitter". The "I'm famous! Woe is me!" scenes are overdone. I think it would've been perfect for "glitter" if they had just done more scenes like the happy dinner scene...in my mind, the short film went like this: "glitter" is when Ayu meets Shawn Yue and they fall in love and have lots of fun, because the song is very hopeful and a happy--not Ayu on vacation in Hawaii happy, but happy in a more optimistic sense--PV would've fit it better.

I envisioned that "fated" would be the PV in which the price of her fame would kick in and we would witness her and Shawn being separated and such. I thought that "fated" would zero in more on why they can't be together because she's/they're famous...I didn't think they'd take so much time in "glitter" outlining that, because I see that as time in which they could've developed the relationship between Ayu and Shawn and thus make their breakup more poignant.

But I'm rambling XD; Overall, it's not a bad PV--a little out of place for "glitter", but maybe once the entire short film is unveiled everything will tie together more smoothly.

Except there are a million different directions she could've gone -- why is everyone acting as if the only two options are this, or a beach?

And see, if the PV would've gone in this sort of direction, it'd be better. Much better. People aren't complaining because it's not a "beach PV". They're complaining because the way in which the scenes were put together was poor. Yes, we knew the storyline ahead of time, but with good directing and some tweaking of the storyline's placement, it would've been very fitting for the song.

"glitter" did not have to be set to a beach PV to have a fitting video.

I totally agree with this. I'm glad it's not some overused beach party/water/sunny whatever this time.

But I also have to agree with whoever said that the PV is totally disconnected from the song. It's a love story, of a sort, and the song is just...I dunno...too upbeat for this video, I think.

I will admit, however, that I like the video better than the song. glitter just seems to be a "i need to put something out" song. It doesn't really grab my attention the way her last summer single did...

^ I agree with Love Appears and namiie on the whole fated-should've-been-the-glitter-PV thing.

Holy crap, there are already ten pages. *thud* Sorry, but I just don't have time to read everyone's posts, so...

1) I thought it was sort of different. Of course I've only watched it once, but for one time I thought it was good.

2) Does no one understand the ending or something? Remember, I'm not reading everyone's posts now so maybe some explained it already. Because it's actually really obvious.

3) Oh, my God... More "MADANO" crap. Seriously, I don't get it. What the hell.

4) The storyline itself I thought was wonderful. Sure there have been other PVs sort of similar to the whole paparazzi-following-Ayu-around thing, but I don't remember any with a love she can't really have!

I love it!!

It's the official PV. I think you're confused between the PV and the short film. Ayu's making a short movie for glitter and fated, but it's too long to air on television during normal video rotation hours. MTV aired the condensed version of the short film, which is considered the PV

Sorry, but is this regarding what I said or what freedreamer said? Because I agree with you. This doesn't have to be black and white. "Glitter" being a happy song doesn't automatically oblige it to be a beach PV. Like I said, it's a different kind of happy

**Calico** · #**189** 10th July 2007, 10:30 PM

To me, Ayu acts like that in the end because she's trying to put up a "front" to the other bodyguards. Sort of like "why are you holding my hand!" That's what I thought the first time I watched it anyway.

Agreed.

andre2907 · #**191** 10th July 2007, 11:07 PM

Hated it.

It doesn't fit with the song, everything is just so random and oh-so-corny. And their chemistry is terrible.

i agree - and it looks like ayu is a deer stuck in the headlights in the beginning

Dustie · #**194** 10th July 2007, 11:13 PM

What do you mean? The one that aired on MTV for the first time, which version was that?

I was agreeing with what you were saying.

ComatoseBunnySnatcher · #**196** 10th July 2007, 11:16 PM

damn right.

cloud♥honey · #**197** 10th July 2007, 11:22 PM

Hm... I imagine that the "fated (Original Ver.)" have scenes of Ayu with her marry dress. And "glitter (Original Ver.)" haves scenes of covers-making.

YES! Shawn Yue is a pretty good actor, actually--I think he plays his part really well. I love Ayu, but she needs to stick to being a musician because her acting is not so great =\ I don't think she was very convincing--especially during those awkward scenes in which they're really close and she looks up at him. I'm sure her expression is intended to move the viewer, but I was reminded more of a very confused deer in the headlights. XD

Foxxy_Fuyumi · #**199** 10th July 2007, 11:53 PM

Well I saw again again...I love the acts!I love everything...The scenery and such.
But I still think that glitter doesnt fit in that PV. Its too happy for some deep parts.

Ow and like Love Appears said: There many things that she could done. Not only the beach scene is the only option that we have.

Gomen~~

I dont say more cause I think everyone will kill me for saying this opinion LOL

oh really? i was thinking it was another way around...Ayu did her part okay,(well she was very cute!) however i thought Shawn was a bit stiff and didnt flow as much as Ayu
