Ayumi's & Ami Suzuki's PV: a little similiar...

[~AyUsIcK~]

like most of u here, i also feels so happy at first that alterna's pv is so original... but look at this, it makes me disappointed... but i really hope that ayu's was shot first n came out first...

[Qt Mashi]

hehe these dolls are scaring me...

[[taskin.ayu]]

Well since they were filmed around the same time, no one was copying anyone. xD

I haven't seen the Ami PV, but it looks like Ayu's one is better. =p

[Surreal]

Ami can't sing for nuts.

The last screencap of ami's pv reminds me of Juon by the way..

Ami's PV came out just as alterna was almost done being shot, i think. Probably avex greenlit ami's, and then when ayu's concept showed up, they had to greenlight hers as well (cuz it's ayu x_x)...

Also, Nana Kitade's first video Kesenai Tsumi has her as a doll too. It ends with the fully-constructed pop star, so no throwing away in a dump or anything, but it's not a new concept that just Ayu & Ami have done at this point. (And I dunno if anyone here has seen The Rolling Stones' "Anybody Seen My Baby" video but it's chock-full of clockwork doll people, and their insides look alot like ayu's at the end of alterna)

i guess it's just simliarites...i wouldn't say it's a total copy of ami's PV~

[PURIN]

if its done around the same time, i wouldnt think they copied, just veyr coincidal, but damn... ami suzuki is a pretty ugly girl! lol
she does look like juon

[JinHamasaki]

Ami's pv has almost nothing to do with Ayu's. The only similarity is the mannequin, and I think that's just coincidence.

[ll moments ll]

i guess they're both trying to express their struggles of stardom in their PVs. however, i don't think they're similar since they both have different stories. and i think they used dolls because celebrities often feel like products.

[Larisa-chan]

I guess this just shows that the idea just isn't something original ^.^ I really want to see Ami's PV now o.o they look so similar from those pics

[Delirium-Zer0]

The idea of pop stars as dolls is definitely not an original concept. One of the reasons aidoru are called aidoru, and real IDOLS like ayu aren't, is because "aidoru" sounds like "love doll". That's why the swimsuit aidoru, who only exist in the media to be cute, are called that, but big singers and movie stars aren't. Big stars have functions besides just giving lonely guys something cute to look at. Doll = someone who's cute for a living. Even ayus are marketed to be cute, as are the amis of the world. So naturally sometimes they feel like nothing more than "love dolls" than artists.

hmm interesting....the screen caps shows very similiar concept...the only difference is the atmosphere of the PVs Ami's look more modern while Ayu's scenes are more like...classy (is that the right word...? with Ayu dressing up like a Barbie doll and acting like a puppet)...but I suppose it's just a coincidence...since the release dates are real close, it's not like they are a few months apart. I like Ayu's more though, it looks more creative lol ^^

[gakkun]

The pv may look the same but the story is different: ayu is showing the things she's afraid will happen to her and Ami is talking about the things that HAS happened to her. Who cares, they are both under Avex so what's the big deal?

[Gunblitze]

..whoa....w..t...f.....

[starr5245]

perhaps the producers did this purposely?
