It's okay, bit too random, both the song and PV. It doesn't work for me.

I think it was put together all wrong. Everything else could've been saved, even her overacting lol. The imagery wasn't horrible, the costumes were lovely, and there was enough going on I just think...

someone should use another video of her's and mesh it with this one to create a seamless edited Mirrorcle World pv that works lol. That's all I got to say.

I loved this video! When I started watching, I was excpecting a plot and all, but after some moments I understood it's nothing about a plot.. It's just visual. Well, if the director wanted to show a little story or sth, he failed.

Anyway, the red dress is gorgeous <3 the phonebooth scene is great as well!

Not her best, but far from bring her worst.

I thought there was gonna be a plot because of these "agents" running around with walkie talkies. The plot is kinda that ayu is chased by them (?) That's all I got.

So many negative comments...

Well, I liked it. I don't mind if it was random, it was fun! And visually it was stunning. The only thing I'm really missing is that she would've actually broke something in the mirror breaking part.

I think the theme was having "different faces". Thus mirror-ish.

IMO, it would have been -AWESOME- if the telephonebooth scene was BEFORE the bridge, and the mirror smashing part was her breaking through the telephonebooth.

I seriously think the feather part was directly stolen from Kuu. Seriously, the black feathers for her hair, the dark make-up...100% copied. :/

I dunno...the PV overall was pretty bad, mostly due to choppiness. I don't know why all of a sudden she feels the need to be so sexy and show so much skin when she didn't in the past. She seems to do something like this every time her career goes down a bit. Remember when STEP you/is this LOVE came out? I don't remember distinctly what it was (I THINK it was Kuu's popularity stepping up and Ayu's going down), but we were all pretty shocked to see those covers. It's almost like she's trying to compensate or get more hits. Though then again, she could just be exploring a bit and trying something out that she always wanted to. Maybe she just really wanted to be sexy.

And I think I'm the only one here who really didn't like her red dress. :/ Her hair was too big and it just didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. :/ What can I say?

It would have been really cool to see her walk by a mirror shop or something and punch a mirror when the mirror-smash part came.

Woah, woah, I like the PV a lot more than I'm making it sound. XD

You could be also be right. I can see that. Maybe it's both. Maybe it's neither. Maybe it doesn't matter cuz it's a really awesome part (IMO). XD I'm gonna have to go back and watch Alterna now.

I seriously think that scene is from A BEST 2 X alterna...since the director of this pv is the photographer of A BEST 2.

There's more to this PV that it looks at first sight. Yes, there isn't much happening; but there actually is.. There's some weird, almost creepy/poetic relation between the exact words Ayu sings and the way she looks at you through the screen. The music, arrangement-wise has a lot of chaotic, un-ordinairy elements, and these are made stronger with certain small details of the video.

I dunno how to explain it.. There is just something about this video; something that shows a whole new side of Ayu.

I think she's just trying something new and wild with this PV.

Watch, we'll all appreciate it later when some out of the blue idea comes out that makes sense. Ahahaha.

I think once that comes out, I'll appreciate it more. I think Ayu has never acted like this in a PV before, so it's something different for all of us.

I'm curious to see who the director is, now.

As random as it was (who knows, it might mean something) she looked so awesome in those scenes.



Whoa.

the PV was pretty nice, but kinda on the boring side, a little bit, lol. i liked ayumi's oufits, though. the PV isn't horrible or anything, i just think it could have been a bit better.

the part where shes sitting in her red dress and jus moving it around was a pretty big waste of 20 seconds or so but i really liked the PV. its her best PV out of all her recent ones. i think there could have been more action involved insteading of just using the paris scenery for her poses but i didnt really know what to expect for this PV and this certainly surprised me in a good way. she looks damn sexy too
