I like how Ayu looks in this pv.Not 2 much make up,her hair kind of messy with the wind,and the outfit (exept the boots) was something very simple that I would totally wear to the beach myself.Like I said,I love how Ayu looks in this pv.

The stage was amazing with all the different platform and all the fans around but yeah the sun was kind of annoying.

The dancer where unnecesary.I think Ayu should have pick 4 or 5 of the fans to dance around with her rather than the usual dancers.And the mics look stupid.To BIG.

Overall,I still think Ayu looked plendid.Not overly diva-ish.I still cant get over the fact that she looked so natural and beautiful.Tought I am sure that a lot of peoples will say she look plain but I think she look very good.

I feel like it shouldn't have been a Pv on a single. It should have been a PV on an album, you know? Overall, I am dissapointed. I like it when PVs have stories that is why one of my fave singles from her is Fated/Glitter. This is boring and even though the setting is really cool, she shouldn't have used the same setting and melody for Sunset. I know she couldn't have filmed the PVs in Bali if she wanted to put the TA members in it but she OBVIOUSLY didn't shoot the single cover in Bali. So...what did she shoot in Bali?

I didn't like her hair in it either. It should have been down. The PV kinda made me dizzy. A lot of movement.

Sunrise PV is just like Humming 7/4, BLUE BIRD or NEXT LEVEL. It's fun and relaxing, but let me be honest - I'll never watch it again.

I took some pictures of the structure while watching the PV again... it's a lot bigger than I remembered!!!







There are SO MANY platforms on that structure... definitely to accommodate all the TA members, heh. I'd want to be on the ground, personally, lol.

The PV is really energetic and fun like the song.
The PV fits perfectly for the song and ayu looked really cute and pretty.

As people said it's nothing special but I like it for the very fact that the song and the PV are a great match and if I wanna look at something fun from time to time I would look at that. =D

Oh I also really like that stage, it's awesome.

Actually, I really liked the PV. It's fun, happy, and Ayu looks like she's having a great time. I love the simple feel of it and Ayu's not all "diva" glamorous. Not to mention it was pretty neat to see all the Team Ayu members in it. Quite a change from her usual PVs of late.

the video sucks. I like that it's summer and ayu as herself. but thats it..I'm not one for simple pvs. there was enough time for that with next level, curtain call, daybreak, etc. I feel bad for the team ayu members that were there, barely even one close up of them that wasn't 1 second long.

..there were 300 of them. Did you really expect them to select certain members to zoom in on?

It's not like many people can say, "I was in an Ayu PV!" If I were there, even if I weren't shown in a close-up shot, I'd still feel honored to have been chosen to be in an Ayu PV. Plus, they could be featured in the "Sunset" PV.

I liked it... simple yet fun... Not my favorite, but really fit the single... People should stop waiting for her lastest pv or lastest song being the best one ever done in world, some singles are going to be just like that: fun. And there is nothing wrong with this

The beginning really threw me off. For a second I thought that the audio and video weren't in sync.

I also didn't like how she kept throwing her arm(s) up every ten seconds. I guess after about three or four PVs with her wearing gloves due to her injury, she wanted to show off.

The dancers didn't really bother me, except for the huge headsets they were wearing.

I did enjoy the face shots, with her looking in the camera, however. She looked so cute... except for those boots. They didn't match her outfit at all.

And the structure? Awesome. It was nice of them to include TA members, when they could've easy picked random people off the streets or something.

All in all, I'm not disappointed, but not happy either. I'm really looking forward to Sunset now.

I liked the white lighting~! I thought overall it was really cute, really fun, really summery. I wish that there was another scene in it though.

Taking it as it is, it's nice! Very intimate with her fans. Fun, a lot of energy. But nothing much after that.

it's a fun PV. it fit the song, too. but it's definately not ayu's best PV to me or anything. just fun and simple. nothing special. but i did like the ending with ayu screaming and stuff, lol.

btw, is it just me, or do you hardly notice the fans so much? i mean, you can't show all 300 people, but they made it seem like the fans appearance was a big deal. they were just in a few shots and that's it. it's probably just me.

maybe if there was a side story to the pv... it'd be more interesting. i dislike ayu pvs where there is only one setting/one outfit.. next level... car drive.


WOW! i'm imagining what would happen if kazuyoshi directed this. woo

Who made the fans' appearance a big deal? It was mainly kept between TeamAyu and Ayu haha.

I still think it was just the sun that was extremely bright that day after two days of rain haha.

It was a nice PV. Very relaxing and summer-ish, but it was a bit boring. She touched her face, winked at the camera and threw her arms up a little too much, as if she was forcing herself to do it. Some of the shots dragged on, such as the first close up of her face and the first part where the camera was towards the ground and she was singing the first verse.

As tasking said, it's a nice PV. I'm not disappointed but I'm not fangasming over it either. Ayu was cute, the structure was beautiful and her dancers were great - I do feel they could have shown the TA members a little bit more though.

I also think it's great that they didn't cover her tattoo. If you pause at 2:18 and 2:57 you can clearly see it!

Hm.. latter point here makes me wonder about why they change scenes so quickly during concerts and lives, haha. People have short attention spans? And as for the arm throwing up.. I do that all the time when I listen to the song and it just comes natural, and doesn't she usually do that with the fun happy peppy songs in concerts? Maybe it's because we can't really hear her vocal so we can't hear the excitement she has in her voice.. hm..
