Sunrise PV thoughts

[russn]

decent pv.

[vampireknightzero]

It's an okay pv, i do enjoy it

[Andali]

it was fun, but I thought very Western. I like Ayu's arty PVs.

[ayu_ready?]

okay, I say the PV kinda didn't make me love it or hate it, it left zero impression and I felt very indifferent towards it

I didn't like the song from the beggining, but Ayu's PVs sometimes make you like song. this one just left me feeling blank. I'm not interested in watching it again too

Ayu's hair was to imitate wet beach hair but it didn't look pretty
her shoes were hilarious, though her outfit was so nice, but probably it should have been another color

the stage was cool. I already posted I hate her dancers. they with mics looked very stupid. then, the ahem *choreography* was so hilarious too! because they just jumped with towels? I was like, WTF? it may be good for Mini Moni, but for a mature woman? it doesn't look kawaii at all

I'm not insisting on showing every fan out of 300 people, but at least maybe showing the crowd more to get the feeling

so I felt blank watching it, then I felt annoyed, because they continue-ously (did I post it right? haha) showed Ayu & her dancers jumping with towels for nearly 3 min or more...it looked so stupid, no, really

as far as I got it, the PV was to imitate upcoming a-nation and Ayulive
hmm, well, I think it didn't make it

I'm not going to read through every comment but I certainly hope no one thought that this was built for the PV...

That structure is obviously concrete and metal. All of that, including zoning and other building issues, would be a mega massive multi-million dollar project lol.

PV was lame. Didn't even show her fans. Zoomed in more on her MC Hammer crew. Awful dancers (although I've seen Maro dance in a video without Ayumi influence and was really good...). She looked plastic.

Works perfect with the cover.

[RPGames]

Its cute but sorta boring! Same scene entire time lol. What else did Wataru direct?

exactly what i thought, because I hadn't really heard the songs before (the recording on youtube did not help at all), i was hoping that I would like it when I watched the PV, but nooooooooooooooooo. and Sunrise and Sunset are on the same set, the same thing, the same mic, same dancers and same audience.

well, in the beggining of this discussio0n some ppl wondered if it was built specially, you might check it if you don't believe me

Well, agree. But while fairyland didn't exactly have a "plot", it had something going on in comparison to Sunrise.
I don't know. I don't want to hate on it too much. It was more engaging for me than say, Humming 7/4, and I like the song a lot more than when I first heard it. I just feel like some beautiful scenery was wasted on mediocre focus/direction for the PV.

[Jason]

When I saw the previews for the Sunrise (and Sunset) PV I knew it wasn't going to be much. Well yeah, nothing really does happens :/ I was a bit dissapointed and I really didn't feel like watching it again after the first time.

The song itself is one of her better summer songs, imo. So it's good that I think it's a great pop song because the PV really does nothing for it and to be honest, I'm not really looking forward to the Sunset PV either lol

That's what I've been feeling about her PV's lately too. I still like her PVs a lot, but they just don't feel as... special? as they used to. :/

[maze]

so boring D:

[JinHamasaki]

why is everyone comparing this to fairyland? fairyland budget = $2 mil, Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~ = something like $200k XD

[Aisha_Angel]

^LMAO...Not even 200K. Britney's Slave 4 U video was like 88K and that video was 1,000,000 times better than this.

[rakeru]

^ such heresy!

anyway, i feel the same way about it as i do the other "mic"/party PVs (Fly high, Humming 7/4, etc). fun and charming, but depth preferred.

Budget doesn't necessarily have anything to do with quality. If you have a good concept, the budget is secondary.

But I didn't say that. I just stated that's what the opinion was on 2ch. All I stated as fact was that a filter is only used on her close ups and not the far shots. People can draw their own conclusions from that.

[rainydayumi]

i dont know what to say.. i just saw the pv and its so simple and normal.. i wish it was more original like the marioette pv..

that's greatness.


They're the worst part of the video imo.

[Polyrhythm]

I don't have a problem with the white light. I really dont care if it make's Ayu look younger or w/e, I just like that it makes the whole scene very bright...like a fun summer day should be. It just sets the right tone.

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

#1 energyfull and summerish

#2 ayu doesn't act, no fishlips or sexy poses, she's natural and gorgeous

#3 I like the light, the outfits, the location and the hairstyle

#4 TA members don't appear too much

#5 a little bit repeatitive, but's ok
