You were... / BALLAD information and covers [VII]

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

the pv of you were is great

[maze]

watching the PV again I found it a little boring! >_<
I'd like at least something like Days with a story behind it

hope BALLAD is something like part of Me.. but better no illusions x'D

LOL yeah you made a good point there

just like the case where there's no mention of Dragonball in her Rule PV too

[Picaflor 7/4]

oh wait is the full ballad pv out? damn I"m behind. -_-

[Crystal_Ageha]

What!!??? Um, no, we're still talking about You were... Right guys..?? D: --I'm all paranoid I missed the BALLAD PV now, lol.

[qumomomo]

the pv is stunning.
artistically this is the best pv of her to date.
how the the light fades from a scene to another, the styrofoam trees, and i really like the uses of lightning in clothes for her and the dancers, and of course the fire!
the costumes are impeccable. love the dancer's headgears and masks, particularly the face-shaped hair in 2:29! all of this is just wow! definitely stunning.
this pv is perfection

*freaks out and checks for BALLAD PV*

i can't find it on YouTube or the download section, so i assume it's not at large yet...

[GRACE]

...everyone's talking about the You were... PV, where did "BALLAD PV" come from?

[yoshino]

You were... is really different from her previous pvs. I like that glowing dress and her nails!!

[Ayumi_lover]

You were PV is like one of the best ballads PV ever! it has idea and concept. Who called it cheap?? O.o It costed more than Sunrise and Sunset all together I'm sure! And this PV has a lot of symbols, just go and think on the meaning. All these dancers hiding their faces, brain, unreal trees and snow, teddy bear, darkness, sparkles - everything has meaning here and not random at all.

Gosh, even with a winter ballad she just had to have her dancers in the PV didn't she? XD They didn't actually bring anything much in the PV though. Actually, they seemed really random. Their outfits are too out-there and some even robotic-like (there's even fire!)... which is too much of a contrast to Ayu's parts.

In the other hand, Ayu looks beautiful in the PV. Too bad we didn't saw her too well since the lighting was so low so that her dress can glow in the dark.

None of her dancers were in the PV.

Thank god!!!

[Rainbow141]

^ Sometimes it's a bit nicer and more powerful to see Ayu on her own. See how she can make the PV great, all on her own.

[AyUta]

When should be we be getting BALLAD PV?

Ah.. it wasn't her dancers. I wasn't really sure about that.
But.. I also think.. without this others persons.. the PV would be much nicer.. for me.

[zyoeru]

The people in this thread really make me laugh. People are saying it doesn't connect to the lyrics, if you look at the lyrics whilst watching, you would see it connects flawlessly.

[ストロボ・EdGE]

The set of the trees and road did look a bit cheap, but really, the rest of it was packed with special effects and intricate costumes so I'm not sure why everyone is calling it "low-budget"///

[Delirium-Zer0]

I gotta agree with you on that one, strobe... o_O Plus the trees don't look cheap fake, they look good/deliberate/probably spent alot of money on wood & the right color paint fake. It's obviously done on purpose, those trees don't even KINDA look real. It looks to me like the paper cut-out look was exactly what they were trying to go for.

[love in music]

It seems like the You were... PV just popped out of nowhere when it first came out. I hope that happens with the BALLAD PV too.. I like being surprised lol
