details in ayu's pvs

[Picaflor 7/4]

off the top of my mind I can't think of anything, this isn't in a pv, but in a live performance. during her arena tour '05 concert. in the cutscene video for game, her boots are knee high, and when she comes out on stage, they're a little above the knee, about a third up the calf...just randomness.

You're talking about this when you say "feet going in front of each other":


and that's not what pigeon toed means.

I brought up pigeon toed because someone mentioned "geisha walk". I immediately thought of pigeon toed because I thought of the peculiar ways Japanese girls walk (read: "Are Japanese Woman Intentionally Pigeon-Toed?"http://tokyo360.net/?p=74). not sure if that's the way a geisha walks but that's how I imagine! Because Japanese girls walk funny. It's called uchimata (see http://everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1537194.

Anyway, just watched the pv again, and I don't know where you got geisha. I think it's more like a feminine hobbit. Or, just as she would walk normally, but with a little sass.

Considering the fact that she just chucked the shoes away last minute, I don't think she was thinking "hmm I'm gonna walk like a geisha to express the difficulties of living a double life as a performer and a regular woman!" or something along those lines.

from my memory geishas scuttle and walk all peculiar-like. Ayu is so much cooler than that.



And here's Ayu. Nothing really geisha about it? It's a very modern, western walk. Very strong in appearance and not demure and childlike. And she strides instead of taking small steps (did a tiny research on google on how geishas walk). And I can NEVER imagine a geisha walking with feet pointing outwards like Ayu. In fact, this style of walking is called "8 legs" among the Chinese, (resembling the chinese character for 8), a very masculine, sturdy type of foot stance.

Hmmm...I see what you mean, but I have never ever seen anyone walk like Ayu does in Curtain call.

[thesilentspeaker]

Ayu's walk in Curtain Call resembles a Ballerina's...

[noidea]

^ that would fit her clothes a little more too...

about Endless sorrow, i always wondered what was written on their mobiles, i just was to lazy to make screens xD

[waterballoon]

Lol, these are interesting trivia! Thank you!

picture # 1


picture # 2

You can't see it to well in that picture but the 4 Ayus are in fact sitting on top of their numbers.(1,2,3,4)

Another thing that I notice was in Ayu's Bold and Delicious pv and in the Pride pv.I've been told that both videos were shot in New York,something that wouldn't surprise me.In the Bold and Delicious pv there is a scene were it can be seen clearly a billboard sing were it says "Ayumi Hamasaki Bold and Delicious".(See picture number 3)In the pv for the song Pride,you can't see it clearly,however,near the end of the video as Ayu walks away,on the righ corner of the screen you can see another billboard sing this time with the words "Ayumi Hamasaki Pride" however the sing is never focus.(See picture number 4)

Picture #3 Bold and Delicious


Picture #4 Pride



What other small details can you see in Ayu's video that you think not everybody has seen?Try and put pictures of them.

In Bold & Delicious/Pride PV I noticed the writings already...
instead in Step YOU I noticed just the 1st one Ayu's sitting alone..to the 2nd I really didn't pay attention before now

[wannajoin_Team Ayu]

did the billboard sign on B&D / Pride are CG effects?

[noidea]

no, i doubt that, they look VERY real and these billboards exist, so they probably just bought some time to show the ayu things on them while they were recording the pvs

yeah!!! Its not like Ayu or Avex lack the money, right?

[Keiichi_JPU]

OK it's not really a detail, but in the "Ourselves" PV, in the end it looks like the movie gets rewinded: the glass from the TV screen gathers again and then the TV is repaired like it used to and the guy who smashed the screen walks in reverse, away from the sreen.

But still, while it's supposed to be backwards, you can see Ayu on the screen singing her regular lines, in normal time order.

I don't know if that makes sense, but let's put it this way:
Everyone and everything goes back in time, instead of Ayu on the screen, who keeps on singing her lines. I think you need to watch it in order to understand because I suck at explaining this :p

Ah I remember the weird PV for Ladie Night and there was a bear coming in from the window in the room with the maid and long-haired boy...

So many details!

*+D.N.A.+*

I seem to be on a role with pointing out little things not in pvs. this yet again is not from a pv.


The Free & Easy cover. It looks very plain, not much too it, and its at such at weird angle. Nothing special.



but what people don't pay attention to is the flag. If you look at the expanded version of the picture (different image, but expanded). The red flag in the background bares her A symbol.

And yes, Ayu doesn't do that in Curtain call, thank god. Though she does walk a little strangely. Does she have flat feet? I can't really see an arch in her foot in the PV.

I walk as Ayu does

LIES! lol
I never knew why some people walk with their feet pointed out or in. maybe cause they're unbalanced?

[noidea]

^ yeah, i walk and stand with the tips of my feet pointing in front of me(well, but only because a doctor told me to go that way xD) isnt it very unhealthy to walk with the tips pointing out or in? for the back or something?

[JackieRos]

i walk like that
maybe they are not doing that on purpose maybe is how they walk

i hate walking when people are facing me
and if you normally walk pigeon toed (or whatever the hell is called)
it doesn't hurt


edit
in startin' pv i saw 2 male dancers have smiley face on ahem crotches

Spoiler:

oh you can almost see ayu's booty ehe

I wonder why lol. Why not all? maybe to draw attention and why so sad? its a cool pv. (I think the one on the left is cute too) [not in that particular screencap though lol].
