Yeah that is the first thing that came to mind also.

I'm wondering how those scenes of her in red will relate to the video though? Both concepts are so different......

Yeah, it does seem, at least to me that they specifically had Seiko in mind. I've got Seiko performances where her hair, earring, pretty much everything are exactly the same. (I'm sure Zemus will come and confirm too) ^_^

Anyways, I believe the meaning of the video is probably what someone else speculated: 80s idols were more sweet and charming and didn't really sing about sex or anything and they were like a fantasy, then cut to modern day overt and sexed up and in your face Ayu. Shows the difference between the times. But really, I don't know if the modern day trend is actually better or right more than the old trend. Both eras have their good and bad points.

Also, the music show that she is supposed to be on a direct copy of the 70s/80s show "The Best 10" It was the music station of the day. (Music Station didn't start till '88)

From what I see so far, I like it at least better than Mirrorcle World. And I like that the PV didn't turn out to just be Ayu in the purple suit getting felt up by her dancers.

Ohh I see. Pretty cool concept, I really hope the full thing turns out great. It's been a while since I really liked one of Ayu's pv's.

I guess Aya Sugimoto was ahead of her time...

I thought almost the exact same thing when I saw the pics. The image is completely Seiko and I do hope it is showing like a comparison between times. That'd be cool and I think it would fit the song greatly, since it has a whole go and be bold thing going on.
I actually have high hopes for this. I'm so glad I bought this album; I've liked everything so far.
