To be entirely honest, I just saw it as a music video...nothing to throw a big fit over or claim 'controversial' . Sure, there were some homosexual parts...but uh, who really freaking cares?! People just need to relax...like I said, it's just a PV lol! If you don't like it or it offends it you, then don't watch it and move on with your life .

Overall, I thought it was pretty entertaining and I think it went along fairly well with the lyrics.

Were people outraged by the themes in the GREEN PV? I don't remember.

If this is so shocking to them, I'd assume they'd have stopped reciting Hail Ayu's around that time.

I remember that sparked a discussion of "do you think ayu is gay?" and a couple of people stated they hoped she wasn't because they'd lose respect for her or something like that. It was really stupid.

You know, I never really thought about those scenes like that, but I guess it could be Ayu saying "Hey, you don't have to hide!! Be proud of who you are!!"
Oh Ayu, I truly love you.
The PV for me, at first, was a bit like...huh?! But I really grew to love it...A LOT! I especially loved seeing her on that guys shoulders just having so much fun! It doesn't hurt that Maro and Shu-Ya look TOTALLY fine in this PV.

my first impression was WHAT THE HECK IS AYU DOING??????? this might potentially hurt her healthy image.. But the song is called Lady Dynamite. So naturally ayu has to be dominant over the males. I can understand the concept..

But i do wish ayu did the PV in another manner even though i am not homophobia. Obviously the PV caused several people to be disgusted with ayu. that's not i wanna see!

Overall its a good pv for the song. It totally fitted the theme of diva~, however this pv was overshadowed by DLB, SLT, & Microphone's PV. Not hating this pv thou, since the loli pop scenes are AMAZINGLY HOT. However, even the singles pv are better. Yes, that includes s/s.

If anyone's at fault, it's Kazu pv directing. He is our scape goat.

I seem to be the only one really disliking this video, lol, obviously not for his theme but for its production. For me it is a really bad directed PV (well, pretty much like all the PVs directed by this guy), the photography is bad and the only thing I can see in this PV is ayu getting BALD (such a horrible haistyle).



The only thing I like is the scene with the lollypop.

Also it reminds me of a PV from a spanish singer... I always wished that ayu didn't make something like it... but it happened. I'm not saying it's a copy, just obvious resemblance...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjp8A-Fpucg

I'm not against the gay club thing, it would be silly, but I think it would be better made....


[Sorry for my english, I wish I could express myself better xD]

I had wondered what the affects of getting her hair dyed, stretched, and extended every other day would be.

No, I agree, it was horribly directed and seemed to have a really low budget, but hey, all the other album-only PVs were single-quality so I guess this PV got the scraps, .

o-O sometimes I must live in a cave since I didn't hear about the drama lol but hey what drama ? The Pv is .... blah it's a meaningless PV, and she is just having fun in a club like everybody of sound constitution do in a club ! If you go in a club to seat and wait don't go !

And the bathroom scene ? lol come on you can see so much worst in such room *rofl*

Some persons are so prude that it starts to be ridiculous. I respect people feeling but come on, the PV is absolutely empty of shocking content !

I think that PV is too chaotic (Microphone was too slow, this one is too fast - can't even take GOOD SCREENCAPS!! ) , but i can't say i don't like it - she looks pretty there, hot males jumping all around, lollipop scene is gorgoeous... But well, production is pretty bad for me, looks like a low budget with "omg we need to direct a music video RIGHT NOW HURRY OMGOMG" a little

I like this PV and I have no issues with its 'theme'. Like others have said it's pretty tame in reality. I've never been to a gay club but my friend has and let's just say that she came back with some pretty interesting stories XD

Tbh, if Ayu were to go to any club I would imagine it would be one like this

I'm way to lazy to read every single post in this thread, but I like the PV because Ayu looks so DAMN HOT in it! That's why. Lol.

I love the PV! It's not the best but it's fun.

Ayu's fierceness kinda looks seriously awesome unlike in Mirrocle World where it looks awkward.

I didn't like the PV. Not for any underlying homosexual tones (which I didn't necessarily see in my first viewing, but I could see from a second viewpoint the next time I watched it), I just thought it was a crappy PV. And I really didn't like the song. Still don't, actually. It's grown on me a little bit since it was released, but I never understood the hype for this song. It was probably my least favorite track on the album...

I honestly saw the PV as Ayu going out and doing something that she might do all the time. I saw it as her going to a club that she could just relax in. Girls here (myself once included) do similar things all the time. They go to gay clubs (my initial thought wasn't that it was a gay club, though. I thought it was more of a burlesque/bondage club) to have fun and just relax without the worry of picking someone up or being picked up. It's a way to go out with your friends and have a good time. And that's what I saw Ayu doing. Going out to a place she can let go without strings attached.

So I didn't really think anything of the whole gay themes thing. If she did make the PV with those intentions, I think that's really cool. It's almost like a direct call to her GBLA fans saying, "this if for you, guys! Love ya!"

But as I said, I don't like the PV. I hated her outfit, didn't like the song, abd got really bored in parts. I had to go watch the PV again last night, since I only watched it once and didn't remember what you guys were talking about half the time; and I didn't like the bathroom scene. Not because I found including it in the PV disgusting, but because I've been in one of those bathrooms and they're really gross. >_< I did love the lollipop and balloons scenes, though.
