Not too keen about the video, but she definitely looks gorgeous. Clothes are fab, too!

That kinda makes sense too..

appears had similar outfits in terms of theme and stuff..

Gosh, it's BAD. Ayu was either not having a good day, or make-up at that time sucked LOL

But maybe i'm biased, since it's the only song i HATE from ayu

Ayu looks amazing in this PV... but I'm utterly confused as to what the story (if there even is one) is or wtf was going on

Go back a few pages and read Idealist's explanation.

^ I think Faiza should edit her post, and write "before you start posting, READ IDEALIST'S EXPLANATION"

I dunno, do PVs need to make sense? In my experience, it's really only Chinese pop and Korean pop PVs that regularly attempt to have a story.

Most of the time, when I listen to a song, I try to imagine my own PV in my head. 99 percent of the time, I don't think PVs and songs match up well at all I like music to remain as abstract as possible. Hehe.

Kinda late, but I just got around to seeing the PV and I gotta say something... The way people were reacting to it, I expected it to be utter crap with horrible facial exaggerations and hard to understand, but I don't think she over did her expressions. It fit the song to me and I think in other PVs she did it more than that. Also, at the beginning, I don't think she walked awkwardly - she was like on a runway and doing her "fierce walk". She looked awesome and the closeup part really worked with that part of the song, it seemed softer. People can't expect some deep PV with a deep storyline everytime. If this is how Ayu feels the song and what comes to her as a visual, then that's just it. So I like it and I hope this does well!

Well, for the most part, Ayu's been 50/50 with making sense/being random..

And most of the being random has come from 2006/2007.. XD

I actually like her sharp movements. They're so ferosh!

Seriously, I think her movements here match the music very well. It's a song with abrupt transitions. If she were more graceful, it wouldn't have been very effective, in my opinion.

Then again, I've watched the video for the first and last time. I have a better PV in my head

[ayumisrael]

Idealist, thank you.

As I always said and I will stick to it, all of ayu's PVs and lyrics have meanings.

I always have better videos of Ayu in mind. Bold & Delicious, for example, I imagine in a boudoir

I've always had a love/hate relationship with Ayu PVs.

Tru dat!!

Except maybe B&D, which i don't care at all, cause that PV screams "I'M JAPAN'S BIGGEST DIVA NY. KNEEL DOWN BEFORE ME!"

Thank you. I know it was familiar somewhere. But yeah, it does reminded me of Appears PV alot.

I dunno, just because Ayu's my favorite singer doesn't mean she didn't have her share of bad PVs. And to be honest, her PVs tend to be a hit or miss.

LOL i'm glad you saw my post. I think people will be too lazy to read all the posts, so let's take them directly to Idealist

@minna-chan: yeah the first time i saw it, STEP you was the first PV that came to my mind

LOL I actually think that this PV about one of the things ayu loves to do in her daily life when she is not working and on breaks (it can mainly be shown on the Bold & Delicious -SIDE STORY- thingy) =P like having fun off the work.
She's been pretty free and divaish on that PV

[naxxo.licious™]

^ I love Bold & Delicious -SIDE STORY-!!! She's so funny and diva-ish on that PV. Specially when she's with her dogs . And that has to be one of the BEST hairstyles ayu has ever had

[Kikaru]

I love B&D for the weird out faces that the New Yorkers have when they saw that truck...

especially this one guy...XD

After eight years of being an extremely passionate Ayu fan, this phenomenon has always always always never failed to bother me

Actually, most PVs and MVs in general bother me. They should get movie directors and fashion photographers to do videos. One of the best music videos I've seen was made by Wong Kar Wai.
