I'm pretty sure Greatful days had her dancers in it too... I remember seeing Gomi at least.

Her happiness looked way too forced LOL

i find the ending part a bit......off-PV-standard...? before she said "domo arigatou" the sound was fading but then after tt we can hear the cheering & everything....

it's like they cut off the "concert-part" & dubbed it with the song then later they put back the *concert-part* again.
for the sake of making it PV-ish instead of concert-ish..?
idk hahaha

Yeah, but they were just dancing and there was not much focus on them. In "INSPIRE" they kinda had their first "acting roles". lol

Actually... Sunset had the TA members too... watch the CM, you can see them towards the end doing some arm-waving motion.

Also, about the wrinkles... I don't get why she would want to "cover" them here when clearly in Days we could see her wrinkles when she was smiling and crying...

polka-dot-jewel · #**146** 1st August 2009, 06:21 PM

lol The TA members were FREE extras - as someone who's been a free extra in a motion picture, I did not expect to see many closeups of the TA members. This video is to promoto Ayu's new single, not Ayu + TA members. True, we didn't see many closeups, but with the side and wide views, you could clearly see how many there were, and boy were there a lot of them! Plus, you could see her interacting with them. And, we'll probably see more of an interaction in the making of.

And we haven't even seen Sunset yet. Because of how emotional it is, maybe we'll see more of a reaction from the TA members in that video.

I was also hoping for something epic like fairyland
but I still love it
looking forward to Sunset

Mirai Noah · #**148** 1st August 2009, 06:34 PM

The PV was fine, summerish. The song is going to have to grow on me. I like the arrangement for the most part, but I'm not to fond of the melody.

chestergringo · #**149** 1st August 2009, 06:58 PM

I liked this PV, very cool

It could be any number of reasons. Could be the director, could be Avex, could be Ayu that wanted it etc. It probably wasn't even necessary but it could just be insecurity - like girls who are incredibly skinny that always think they are fat. Same thing with all the over photoshopping we've been seeing lately. Bottom line is, they did alter the closeup shots of her compared to the shots for the rest of the video. As to why? Who knows.

polka-dot-jewel: a free extra? What kind of movie was it? Because as far as I know, all official MPAA SAG affiliated movies are required to pay their extras.

Kingdom · #**151** 1st August 2009, 07:46 PM

cool. a pv of ayu doing nothing but standing on a platform, lipsyncing to a crowd of ta members

how big was the budget for this single, really?

Insanes · #**152** 1st August 2009, 07:47 PM

Well the PV is just to express a summer feeling, nothing more. It's an ok PV, nothing special about it.

Probably as big as it usually is. The money just isn't being spent in ways that satisfy fans, I guess.

Picaflor 7/4 · #**154** 1st August 2009, 08:22 PM

lol at having my comment deleted. the sunset pv is obviously going to be like a slowed down version of sunrise. I bet it's the "after party" while sunrise is the "party".

truehappiness · #**155** 1st August 2009, 08:25 PM

Well, rather than the afterparty, it's more like the July 1st at a-nation.. everyone's waving their arms around slowly the ballady sound.. haha. A soothing closing to the party, I guess? [and aren't afterparties usually as wild as the parties themselves?!]

It was the Hannah Montana movie XD There are two types of extras - the ones that are paid and credited, and the ones that aren't paid or credited. I was a free extra. I really don't remember how the process was done (my friend invited me since she had an extra ticket and I was a legal adult then), but they basically gave out these tickets to anyone who applied and wanted to be a part of the movie. The paid extras and regular actors all had to go through an audition process, if I remember correctly.

truehappiness · #**157** 1st August 2009, 08:38 PM

Ahaha, that's so random.

In relation to the Sunrise PV, I wonder if we'll see them in the making of at all? I hope they at least get to say hi to Ayu~

Totally off topic, I know.

Almost all extras are uncredited, but they are still paid. Very few extras actually show up in the credits of things - those are the featured extras and they get paid more than regular extras do. Auditioning to be an extra is very rare and its usually only for featured extras. I've never been credited for anything I've been an extra in, but I've always been paid. It seems you basically did the same thing that TA members did - got in from some kind of fan thing.

SheFliesHigher · #**159** 1st August 2009, 09:31 PM

It looked like a live performance. If I wanted to see a live performance, I'd watch HEYHEYHEY or a concert, but I like my PVs to be more theatrical and artsy. Ergo, I'm not a fan of this PV, and the song isn't wowing me, either. But I'll give it some time.

I understand that you are shure that she wanted to look younger... Nothing against it... But could u just don't say it like it was a fact?

There are better ways of fixing someone's face on video, and she just used this filter THIS time... when she starts using it for every video she does, that will be more likelly true
