this PV kicks butt!!!
I LOVED it! One of the best.
I love that hairstyle. Suits Ayu the best. So sexy and beautiful.

Ah, now that you guys have said it, I finally remember where that scene where she jumps from the bike and lands so quickly came from.

And the more I watch it, the more I find the white guy hilarious. His accent and his OMG face!

Nu-NRG · #**185** 11th February 2006, 02:56 PM

LOL
this has the most entertaining, funny pv..we don't see this kind of pv often
most of ayu's pv are either creepy or with a deep meaning in it
hahah ayu is Startin' to be like every other "copy cat"

happytoadstool · #**186** 11th February 2006, 03:04 PM

I love the PV!!! I often don't like music videos which are full of cliched moves and effects, but this one was really funny. I loved it a lot! It never bores me! All of the acting of the actors were really really cheesy (especially the reactions they have when they're shocked. hahaha!). The opening and ending sequences were also funny as well, especially with how Ayu was choking with the make-up. These 2 sequences and the "shock" acting (if I can call it acting:p) of the English actors ensured me that this video was intentionally cheesy :p I like Ayu's serious PVs, but i love it more when she surprises us with videos like this. I love intentionally brainless videos

LOL i actually think the complete opposite: In LOVE LIFE hitomi looks extremely uncomfortable. I have all of the CD scans in very high quality and her poses try to hide her nudity in a very awkward way. (I do LOVE the LOVE LIFE cover though). ayu looks pretty tough and determined in LOVEppears. That's definitely not akward.
Her action in "my name's WOMEN" was pretty excellent. It's just that people can't open their minds to see ayu doing something more appealing (hitomi and koda kumi are already well known for trying more provocative poses so people are usually used to it, reason why it makes them look suited for doing that while ayu supposedly "can't". The first koda kumi and hitomi videos that tried to feature them trying to look sexy were rather laughable, but now they can handle it prettty well. Can't ayu have her chance now?)

LOL, I guess the word "sexy" have different meanings to both of us!

I hope so! The song, so far, doesn't sounds spectacular. Too much like "fairyland".

evolution105 · #**191** 11th February 2006, 05:38 PM

I can't wait for Born To Be...

RAISKA · #**192** 11th February 2006, 06:31 PM

i dunno
for me, it's just a PV, nothing more...not COOL, nor BAD
nothing-boring, but cool: very strange mixture

**Ryoko** · #**193** 11th February 2006, 06:33 PM

Born to be... sounded pretty good to me. I'm so anxious to see the PV. I'm watching the Startin' PV now, and to me Ayu looks really pretty. Sexy too! I'm glad she tried something SO different.

What if Ayu's destiny will repeat Britney's one? no-o-o-o

[ Melinda ] · #**195** 11th February 2006, 07:22 PM

Ayu has always done different things, she's done so much and you can't always know what she does next. That's a thing I love about her.

Also when I saw My name's WOMEN I was afraid that it was her new style, more sexy and girl power -thing. But that also was something new and different for Ayu which wasn't permanent, which was a good thing. I wouldn't want that to be her whole new style x)

And about Startin', like I said earlier, I love the PV. But in some parts I think maybe she's trying to be sexy or something, but the look on her face is kind of annoying. ^__^ Like in that part when she rises up with that motorbike and drives next to the car, and looks at the driver. x)

I forgot to say how much I love the parts with the black dress! They're so beautiful and artistic. She's also so beautiful.

She's an adult, she has a great body, she looks great, so why can't she act sexy once in a while? The video is not serious but she was indeed very sexy in a lot of the shoots. And she didn't seem to be trying hard.
As for the disgusting part, hitomi has done such things in her JAPANESE GIRL PV and I haven't seem people saying it looked disgusting. It just seems that people fantasize way too much about ayu being a perfect lady and whenever she makes something that shocks, people realize she's not a doll and start to complain.

Ayu is very sexy, but NOT in Startin. Startin' is not sexy and not shocking, just very cheesy. If it was shocking and sexy, it would be a good thing, in my opinion, at least.

And I think in Japanse Girl, hitomi was way more cool and sexy than Ayu in Startin'.

Well if you read well what I mentioned specifically about the Japanese Girl PV you'll notice I didn't mention who was sexier than who, the subject I had brought when mentioning that PV was completely different. (I do think hitomi is sexier in the JG PV than ayu in Startin' so I wasn't obviously talking about that). I brought the issue about who looked sexier when comparing the covers of Lp and LL though. But the covers have nothing to do with JG x S' PVs, obviously.

Belinda · #**200** 11th February 2006, 10:03 PM

I think the video was kind of fun to watch. I don't think it's the best of her vids, but it wasn't boring. I am pretty sick of that scene in her black dress though.... How many vids have that almost same (or is it the same?... V_V) background/stage?
