And I like the song -- it's different for Ayu, like much of her stuff lately, but it sounds more suitable somehow. It's a total cheerleader song, which is a lot of fun, without being sugary cute and sweet and lame-o. It's got tude and drive behind it, instead of being wimpy and soft. I love the arrangement, too, although the beat is a little straight.

I still wish Ayu could dance, though. I hate that old-school Japanese-style of dancing, where you move slowly to the music and basically just strike cute, happy poses. It's like slow-mo parapara, and it's painful to watch.

IMHO, it's hilarious. xDD~

Just look at her as the clerk! LOL. She's all like '... /takes one hour to input one item'

She even smells one of the items xDD~ I love it.

But seriously, I can't be the only one who thinks she "borrowed" some stuff from Utada Hikaru's "Keep Tryin" video. That scene in the diner especially is just like....come ON.

It did kind of remind me of Hikki's PV and as I stated earlier, also of Bennie K's Dreamland PV last year.

[Ayumi^_^]

I didnt really like the Pv

[Aisha_Angel]

I love the song...I saw caps for the PV & it was as I expected...A very interesting looking PV. Packed with symbolism possibly. From what I can understand, Ayu gave her spotlight to other people in the vid which is something I respect her for. It's one thing to be a superstar-diva but it's another to be a considerate-superstar diva.
The song is so "50's~ish". I knew I was right when I predicted where she was going with her recent choices in style for fashion. Even BLUEBIRD sounds like fresh-modernized 50's pop. I think she's breaking off of the "typical" style and experimenting as much as she can.
At first, when I heard it I was like WTH? Because my PC speakers are a little decieving. But if you put it on a CD/mp3 player and listen to it with your headphones it sounds totally different for some strange reason. Kind of like STEP you...Like someone said before; it's a total cheerleader/perky-upper song so if your down in the dumps and you want Ayu down too I'd advise you without even looking at the PV; just skip it over...But if your ready for some positive-stuff and some good energy flow; then yeah, it's perfectly safe.

I myself, am ready for a break after all these other stars' same-old:same-old releases lately. Come on, isn't anybody tired of Nami Tamaki's dance-trance stuff? And what about Kuu's repeatative jazz music...Let's try something new and make up new expectations. It's time for a change in our own personal style. Don't you think?

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!

[truehappiness]

Did anyone else think there was a connection between this and the ANGEL'S SONG performance in AT03-04? XD

I really thought that her hair + the hotpants just clicked. Not that it's like the total same~ I just was reminded of it.

Sigh....give me a ballad...

On the PV side...it's almost like Because of You, with several different girls...and did her dancer at the beginning seem as though he spoke perfect english? It sounded so even with two words. I need someone to explain the point of the video...And please...if she puts dancing next time...I hope it's Real me dancing...that is worth watching...

Regardless, it's nice...I like the part where the thing wrapped around the guy's head the receipt.

[BanFan]

To put it nicely : terrible.

There's some sort of message that I can't put my finger on.. something probably about like.. we're all Beautiful Fighters on the inside despite what we seem to do [i.e be a clerk or a pool..person] (Did you guys see all their costumes in their purses!? XD)

Oh no, it sounds Christina Aguilera-y, but totally not.

I do agree, and I've always been happy that Ayu is the type of artist who isn't afraid to try different things. But this particular "new thing" has just totally missed the mark with me....I think for the first time ever. I can't recall ever being so decidely displeased with an Ayu song.

What? Who? Huh? I don't hear anything 50s at all.

The message of the video is pretty simple. It's basically the same as Utada's Keep Tryin'. That even though your everyday life may be mundane and suck, we are all "Beautiful Fighters" and should "Keep Tryin' Tryin'."

[[taskin.ayu]]

The song is catchy, I had it in my head all day. XDD

The PV is terrible. I think daybreak was better. >_> I wasn't expecting too much from this director. I hope she never picks him to do an Ayu PV again.

[tl1029530921]

i am..very dissappointed.

I thought blue bird was perfectly fine and she looked amazing in the video, and the song was uplifting as well. This song......is just plain annoying. What the hell is hse saying? I am very...very very very dissapointed. I know she can put out better material than this.

[truehappiness]

I say that she's a bit tired.

Concerts probably drain a lot from her~

[makie_7]

I don't like both, the song and the pv. I like BLUE BIRD and I think I'll enjoy the new version of LN.

[benslave4u]

I think it's a really fun PV to watch plus the song style is a little bit different than what she used to have!! Well I wouldn't say different but the arrengement is different!! I really liked the pv I thought it was fun and cute!! and I'm soo happy that she uses her dancers to do some acting gig on her music videos! I really like that!! and I'm glad they are all friends!! it's a good PV I would give 4 thumbs if I had more I would give ALL OF THEM!!!

[Taishaku]

I just can't wait to remix it!!!!! XD

Seems like Ayu is getting worse with every new song she's releasing, but this song sounds a bit different from the stuff we've heard til now. The song's quite catchy and that robotic Ayu voice is just stuck in my head...x_X!!!

And it's too obvious this PV is a copycat of "Keep Tryin'"...but it's fun to watch anyway. =)
and it reminds me more of "Hollaback Girl"...lol. xD!!!
