Uma it's not the only one that can wear the yellow suit. And the only similarity between this and Toxic is that there is a motorbike..duh............. if so, Uma Thurman copied Bruce Lee ok?

And this goes for all other chinese artistes who 'copy' ayu...Ayu is not entited to anything.

the pv is kinda LAME... i dotn like it

elepop · #25 10th February 2006, 04:06 PM

I did thought of Britney for the scene where she gets off of the motocycle and walks in slow motion and there's fire in the back. Very "Toxic". And the pink outfit is really Xtina/Britney. Maybe it's a Britney parody? LOL.

I agree the PV is kinda lame. The PV has no quality at all...

I hope the covers don't reflect that "Startin'" look...

OH MY GOD, it was awesome. Ayu with the drill thingy was awesome. It was simply awesome. I am so happy to get such a brainless PV for once. Just simply frickin awesome. I love Ayu so much. Its like Step You all over again! I hope it sells just as much or even more! I love the song a lot too. *Hysterical*

i'm so nooooot!!! dissapointed!!!!! I LOVED IT! MORE!

the scene with the glasses!! *0*

Agree agree!!! It was one super duper mega parody! Everything that was popular in the past year was in it, Toxic, Kill Bill, Explosions, blah blah.. When the bike exploded, the way Ayu landed... I swore I saw it in some movie or something! xD

I absolutely LOVE the pv! It's amazing, with all the visual stuff and Ayu being so beautiful in it! The motorbike scene with glasses was kind of corny, but it looked awesome! I almost started to cry, because it was so good, Ayu always amazes me time after time. Those guys were kind of annoying, but the ending was so cute.

This PV has NOTHING in common with "STEP you".

After seeing the PV, I'm pretty sure it won't do too well. Maybe just a little better than "B&D". But that's all. Urgh. I hope "Born to be..." is good.

alternarist · #29 10th February 2006, 04:20 PM

i find that the beginning part is so amusing!!! that is something new.. nv seen in ayu's pv before!! i am slightly disappointed with this PV.. i thought it would be more impactful like Toxic... but ended up it seems to be a dancing PV with more computer effects... but nonetheless i like this PV... i give it a 80 / 100...

I agree, this PV is nothing like the STEP you PV, the STEP you PV was a lot better. I'm sure it won't do well either, and like you, am hoping Born to be will be a better song.

If "Born to be..." has a really nice PV, I think it might have a chance to do well. I can see a Ai Otsuka's "Happy Days"-like PV for "Born to be...". If this PV is creative, I'll be so happy! Hoping "teens" is good too!

Larisa-chan · #32 10th February 2006, 04:42 PM

Wow, this PV is really lame and embarassing. Besides cool special effects, it just reminds me of some stupid Britney Spears video. I could deal without seeing Ayu getting felt up by 5 people. This PV could be cool without the cheesiness.

PrismaticTears · #33 10th February 2006, 04:47 PM

This PV has my right eyebrow hurting from arching it for the entirety of it. If this was meant to be a parody fine, but Ayumi seems to pride herself on writing songs with meaning and this just seems to be utterly inane and brainless. Even all of her other fluff PVs I didn't care that much about, this one is just painful. Although I probably got my hopes too high liking the song from CDL.

Also for whomever was wondering about the strange jumping CG effect after the explosion, likely you're thinking of Casshern since that's the first thing that popped to my mind.

Also is it just me or does the actual recorded track sound like ****? Her voice is kind of lame and weak and it has nothing to it. For sake of comparison:

Audio recording of her Startin' performance at CDL 05-06. I definitely like this a lot better even with her usual odd, "Uh Uh! (ah ah?)"'s that she always caws out during lives.

Somebody get this girl some dance lessons! She keeps doing the same move throughout the video.

Is this her desperate attempt to reach out to the Urban crowd?

mlkrepublic · #35 10th February 2006, 04:48 PM

this video is so out of control haha... it's weird but i love watching ayu act this sexy.

however, i hate the first and last parts--the conversations between the white guy and the black guy. i really hope the video didn't include these two parts. they're so boring and unnecessary!

Axel_Grease · #36 10th February 2006, 04:53 PM

It seems a bit too ****ty. Would've been better without the butterfly mask in the beginning. And it was kinda cute how Ayu was coughing to the perfume or w/e it was and really cute at the end with the yellow cap. I guess I like it cause Ayu's dancing so ****ty-ly and is looking sexy at the same time, but the dancing kinda seems a bit overdone.

royle · #37 10th February 2006, 04:54 PM

i hate the la la la (background voice) part in the end ..
it ruins the whole song and make the song too "pop-ish"
i will hate ayu if my game suddenly come out this kind of lala sounds when i am playin it..
the more i watch the pv the more i "dun like" the video

sighs...

hallelujah_united · #38 10th February 2006, 05:00 PM

It's funny seeing her ride a big bike and looking cool and what not. And am I the only one to find the 2 guys in the video store actually bearable? The white guy has a really funny accent by the way.

All in all, it was fun to watch.

Maiku · #39 10th February 2006, 05:09 PM

is it me or is it around the end her backup singers messing up the song .. -_-''

I totally agree with this. Plus, loving or hating this PV, you can't deny it lacks originality. And I tought the song was boring...
