The song and the PV are great.
Yep that was one of the things that made me think it was better than the GAME PV. No stupid rubber monster O_o;;;

hmmm... must say that GAME and About You is pretty much the same. . .
don't like her looking goth.. don't like it at all.. it's ugly.. ugly ugly ugly!
I miss her deep, charming, classy, fun, romantic, sad and expressful PV's.

My opinions will come later!

I think the similarities between the two are striking for a reason - the feeling of being trapped. Remember back in I am... with Dearest there was a sense of feeling trapped by her company?

I like the pv, and I'm glad she didn't break free from the ice. Otherwise it would be just your typical pv...

Then again, does that mean Ayu thinks she will be forever trapped? Even when Ayu "died", does that correlate with her once her popularity declines () will she still feel the responsibility of doing what she's always been doing?

Exactly. Instead of having a nice end of her breaking free of the ice she died which was much more cool.

. . .

And well the PV was dark because the music aned thelyrics are dark. I thought the ambient was perfect. By listeninng to the previews (chorus) of the song I was kinda sure the song would have some negative message behind it. Maybe ayu wanna show us that she indeed does have some darkness in her heart that shapes her

SONG
I absolutely love this song! When i heard the 30 sec. previews i thought it was good, but not THAT great! I'm fully in love with this song! But it could have been a bit longer.
Rating: 9.5/10

PV
I love the theme of the music video. I like the fact that Ayu is dressed in a classy and sophisticated way but the rest of the video is very dark, it's a great mixture. But the video seem to be a lot like Ourselves and GAME. I think it could have been better if they stop showing weird people like the lady with 6 arms and the tattooed man. Way too creepy.
Rating: 8/10

Goth? Ayu is so pretty in the video. She's very classy and glam on this video. If you compared it to GAME, she's wearing beautiful red and green dresses and on GAME she's all dressed in black.

her PV's are all so dark lately~

somehow the color and light used just makes me feel weird in this PV....

like ourselves and moments she is singing between walls (does ayu feel really trap these days?0

and there are topless man dancing like in INSPIRE and GAME (what's that symbolize?)

and there are blindfolds too, like ourselves

I don't know the lyrics so I really can't tell

anyone got translation of the lyrics?

YAY~!! Someone looked it up! Yes, Richard Avedon died this year, and I was ilke O.o when I saw Ayu because I would've never thought she would have cared so much! [I'm a photo nerd I know...] so this pv obviously has to have SOME meaning, even a little subliminal one...

THIS PV ROCKS!

Yep I had looked it up too but end up forgetting to compare both. God I saw that picture/painting so long ago I would never remind of it to compare both. i think you're clever! And I didn't know the artist had died this year God it seems like it was really a homage to him. That's why the PV is all in pastel colors: pastel black and pastel green. Everything looks so artistic. This PV indeed ROCKs hehe

NICE pv. The part where ayu moves around between the walls, yeah kinda reminds me of game but I enjoy the ayu in ice cube thing very much xD Anyway, I was wondering there are few scenes of the girl with long black hair, short fringe and 6 hands??? Is that actually ayu? Sometimes it looks like ayu sometimes it doesn;t, I'm confused ?_?

Yea...that's why this pv really rocks for me because I absolutely couldn't believe my eyes when I was like :GASP!!: that's RICHARD AVEDON. I think it's really powerful that Ayu would pay homage to someone great because of her "egomanicism" that people say.

Haven't seen it yet. Downloading it. But I AM sure that this PV has also got a more deeper meaning and that it might be a "sequal" to GAME. Can't wait to watch it.

wow, I like the PV more than I expected... it's much better than Game's PV! It kind of reminded me of a Nine Inch Nails music video for some reason x.x;;;

...and is it just me or does that guy with the black hair and heavy eye makeup look like Marilyn Manson? ^.^****

OH and Ayu looks fabulous <3
