Thoughts on the JEWEL PV

[immel]

I'm quite sure that avex probably keep some of them for showcase display, while most of it is sold.

I don't know when she said that, but it might be true for her private life. The product Ayu owned by avex is almost always bling blinged from top till toe.

Oh! My god! Those bling bling in the PV is blindin' my poor eyes! Hehe...

Anyway, it's a really beautiful PV. I like it. So "JEWEL" is her this year winter song theme, huh? Nut too bad. I like No Way To Say, Walking Proud and Rainy Day more though. I find it's more emotional, i guess. JEWEL is nut too bad after all. Heehee...

immel: hahaha... Yeah, probably.

There's more to life
than money or honor.
You will forever pretend not to understand.
It's frightening to notice and get hurt.

too late...

Hehe, okay, while it's true you can't say that the commercial part of Ayumi really stands for all that we can't know about her private life.

And what she sings is basically a truth, a truth that not a lot of people will follow, but encouraging it isn't a bad thing to do whether you follow it yourself or not.

An artist is definitely someone who can get the words out to a lot of people, but maybe not the perfect role model.

I truely believe 'Jewel' is one of the best PVs Ayu released recently.

Ayu, you said that money and fame, glitz and glance are meaningless. And what was this? That's tons of money that could have found a better use. Those jewels are probably left to dust somewhere now.

Try to separate the image the label gives her from the person she is. Besides, I don't think it's your place to say how she or the label spend their money. If it were your money, that'd be a different story.

Beautiful and elegant.

And it's not just eyecandy. As someone already posted at AHO (I believe it was Sakura_Rain, all credits of pointing this out goes to him/her) this song might be about a death of someone close to her. That's how the withering tree and that "jewel rain"/cry would make sense. Also the lyrics seem fitting.

Nevertheless, it's really imaginative. I really like this.

This PV is gorgeous. Ayu looks so beautiful, and the song is beautiful too. I almost want to cry. It really fills you with the feelings of a wonderful winter love.

You just couldn't be more right!

It's raelly nice! I love it around the middle when she has the long white eyelashes It reminds me of their weird lashes she had in alterna.

[chibi_sunny]

I think Ayu just redeemed herself <333.


I kinda wish she had this PV for Carols .___.

[waltz#2]

My favourite Secret-centric PV by far. Ayu, the song, and the PV are all very pretty. I thought it was really moving and I didn't mind the lack of "action" at all. I just try to forget about how much it all cost. XD

[nodoka]

I really really really love the holiday feel to the PV. She looks simply stunning throughout the whole thing too. It was worth the money I think!

[Larisa-chan]

It was a gorgeous PV and reminded me of the ones that Mika does. But it's not to say it wasn't original!! I loved the concept of all of those jewels, it fits the song title of course. Only criticism is, of course, I wish there was more action/story.
