It seems that she feel now too much self-confident and probably though that fans accept all of her "changes". I'm not so sure about it

And if she seems to be more free... then the best way to say it is: she can be free but not so free - she can do anything she want - and go nowhere (sounds little like everywhere nowhere LOL)

Then let her be.
Why do you care about her popularity?
Seriously, I think this is how Ayu tried to explain in one of her recent articles. She's free to do whatever she wants.
Let her be.
Ayu should definitely do an alterna type PV about her fans.

I WOULD SO BE DOWN FOR THAT. A PV about her lunatic fans. Ayu fans are seriously some of most "out of control" group of fans I have seen in music. There is ALWAYS something to bicker about within our fan base for some sad reason.

Exactly. You're completely right. It's tiring to see every single pv being butchered up every time. As TeamAyu said Ayu fans always bicker about ever release of hers which does get tiring to see a lot of pages with fans bickering about how bad/good the pv is.

Personally I find Ayu very sexy. She can be sexy and look good in it. So why shouldn't she do a sexy pv? Even if initially she wasn't so sexy in her pvs in her early career doesn't mean she can't try.

I wouldn't compare her to Koda Kumi though because the amount of clothes Kumi wears is usually much less in her sexy pvs. Ayu only shows her tummy a bit and nothing else and yet her outfits still do suggest she's sexy especially since she is. Honestly I think Ayu can pull off looking sexy really well just with a look in her eye. And the bike scene was pretty sexy imo.

Also personally I find LOVEppears way much more sexier than hitomi's LOVE LIFE. She can be as sexy as hitomi and if she took some choreography lessons she'd probably be as sexy as Kumi too. As Impact said hitomi and Kumi have more experience on their sexy pvs since most of the time it's what they do while Ayu has only done a few pvs. Kumi's first pvs attempting at being sexy weren't exactly what you'd call sexy.

Anyhow I've really enjoyed this pv. It's really a breakthrough and shows how Ayu's not afraid to reinvent herself.

[ImpactBreaker]

Well that would make it awkward but not disgusting then...

[PSYCHEDELICOdust]

You people take the PV so seriously. The over-acting is so obviously parodying. The fact that it looks like so many things must be on purpose. And once again, a plot? Looking for things that aren't there maybe? It's just to promote a song. Why does something Ayu have to have meaning?

It's colourful, funny, and I like the song. Great PV for the win!

[stardusties]

i think it was awsome , the motocycle scene was cheesy at times, but otherwise it's great x3 I looove it!, first PV i reealy loved sine STEP you and GAME

[MsMiyabi]

I LOVE THE PV! I think it's her best one yet. Too bad I don't like the song only the Chorus sounds good to me. Maybe because I don't like her vocals or which they could be louder during the Verse.


And I think Ayumi looks nice in that Pink Outfit.

Alright... after 2 days I finally enjoy the mv . PSYCHEDELICOdust is right, dun take it so seriously. Afterall it's just a pv .

Yeah, me too. The more I watch it, the more I laugh.

On a side note, the bike scenes strike me as very anime-ish.

Not to mention that she looks really tiny on that bike! And yet she does wheelies like nobody's business. o_0

^Yup, I absolutely agree! Startin' is kind of a breakthrough PV for Ayu! I mean I really didn't recognise it was Ayu at all! It's a really good reinvention for her and it shows that she's moving much faster than what people were expecting! Startin' itself has refreshing and new composition and with this new presentation of a PV, it really marks a great start to the year of 2006!

It's great to have a mixture of flashy PVs and story-tied PVs! And I think Ayu has done a great job in this. I don't see a problem with the sexy issue people have mentioned! She IS sexy and I think the PV shows this side of Ayu BEAUTIFULLY!

[Khanh-Le]

i like this!i not like another her pv.so sexy~

[Nikki]

I love this song The PV is very amusing and watching it with subtitles makes it even better.

[kinix]

I wonder if she knows abt the killayu site and start to do this PV o.O"

LOL omg...I almost forgot about that site .

[lotusoka]

I really like the song. I'm not so much a fan of the video though.

The copying accusations get really old after a while. The motorcycle scene reminded me of a video by Lil' Kim called How Many Licks... but I really doubt Ayumi stole the idea from her.

and also when she walks with the fire in the background , it was just like Britney Spear's Video.
I think this is one of the worse ayu PV ~ It is Lacking ORIGINALITY ~
and the white guy in the beginning is a bit irritating .. the host ~ lol
i hope Born To Be will be much better =)

nonetheless, the song is great. The PV could have been better
wat do u think ?

edit =

if it is a parody as someone has put out the evidence .. tahn i will say its creative. By looking at the similarity with britney's clothing and all i assume that this is definetely a parody .. so i can accept this.
Glad that this is a parody, if not .... its a for ayu =)

you should have say a lot lack of originality
i hate this PV totally
probably the worst and stupidest mtv ever
but there is still something i like about the pv...the beginning when the music starts...ayumi is so cool with the glasses and the stuff but ...later on...so stupid
i hate britney's style and she's copying?!! wtf..like super sex star

i love the music but ayu's voice seems to be quite lost at the chorus
unlike her concert...perfect voice

stupid and worst effect ever in ayu's pv
i now like the pv that i dislike the most last time_ love destiny than startin'
stupidlity of ayu to let this happen..! a lot of effort needed in this pv-more than heaven ...then she gonna let this out...DUH!!

sorry if i offended you but this is just my thought..
her countdown concert drive me to this song but!!

i was about to buy this single when it come out.......but
it seems like i lost intrest.... i'm real dissapointed
so this is the speciality of startin' single eh!!
the first time i was watching this video...i was watching with my cousins and my brother
and i'm soo embarassed
a good thing to all ayu haters

[eriko]

i really dislike this pv, the song too, she s so britney alike
she has really changed, her style is too american now -- not original for me

she tries to be sexy, and i think it s not her personnality, it looks so unatural !
hitomi has sexy pv cos she looks sexy naturally

[Neo Daydream]

^ they look very much alike! >.<

[elepop]

I think it was already pointed out earlier.
