[News] Winter diary ~A7 Classical~ - release 23rd December 2015 (Thread #2)

[Miduhyo]

Whole thing was 'meh' for me. Oh well, wasn't all that excited for it in the first place so I'm not so disappointed. Guess I'll just wait for whatever's next.

[Deep snow]

HOLY SHIT THIS IS GOOD, for ayu's standards. OH MY GOD. I'm loving all the aerial shots. Another long overdue aesthetically-pleasing video!

[YukiUsagi]

meh. hope this is not the big news she said

[SpiceSquad!]

hmmm not feeling it.

to much product endorsement

[ayuro74]

the MV is online

I really enjoyed

[Aderianu]

"Spring diary" coming soon? =)

I still don't like the song, but video was very interesting to watch

[attractive nausea]

To me the "to be continued" was just saying "this is not the end of this pv" instead of saying there will be another diary in the future
The PV is beautiful but it bored me so much

[orbitalaspect]

Well, much respect to Ayu for actually investing in a PV for the first time since Party Queen. I feel like this is a big throwback to Love songs era PVs, but still, I like that there's actually a point to watch.

My only issue is SHUYA wearing too much. But this is still the best I've seen him in a PV with Ayu. He looks mature, stylish, and relaxed... like he's had some time to enjoy life since leaving Ayu's dance team. He's gained weight too! He's like got a tummy now! But it's hard to not find him attractive; he has a million dollar smile and he smiles and frowns with his eyes.

I hope Ayu continues to invest better in the PVs. I miss when ayu took PVs seriously. A bad PV only makes the song look bad.

[koumori]

Goodness, I would love to have heard the sales pitch on this MV concept.

I actually enjoyed the last minute or so, although Ayu trying to be gangster always throws me off a bit. Nice costumes, good use of aerial shots for most of it, and I really liked the use of colours all the way through. It was interesting.

[relmy]

Eh, it just wasn't... convincing? The watch didn't fit the PV and felt too much like product endorsement. Plot is Love Songs era part 2, and Ayu... you face doesn't need to be a permanent pout. Made her look like she didn't know what to act. Summer diary was better, it just worked better overall for me.

[maxikot]

To be continued? Really? Now all her music videos are going to be one huge story? I enjoy the filming, the concept (i really really like that it's christmas song but with dark background) but sth is off. And the timing ;p Well...it's february ;p Who gives a crap about christmas tunes now ;p Winter diary is a nice song for me but still, it's a damn holy night song not valentine xD

[Ryusei]

I really like her "hands up" at the end haha she looked kinda cute shooting that chandelier

[kaled kalil]

Well, much respect to Ayu for actually investing in a PV for the first time since Party Queen.

Well, the product placement probably helped her paying for the production. (And btw, that watch is quite expensive http://www.gagamilano.com/en/product...e-48mm-mosaico).

And HA I was right. The idea of the PV is quite good, I like this side of Ayu doing things that aren't safe, but that's not the right song for this kind of video, at all. It makes the whole thing feel weird and out of place.

Watching the teaser again, and that video was a little more exciting that the actual PV. I think it's because of the way they edited.

Here WINTER DIARY pv... I didn't like it.. personally
It doesn't fit at all with lyrics and music :/ it looks expensive though

[douggn]

The 'too be continued' goes on most of her videos on youtube. They don't usally upload it all and might even just be a short version. The full will probably be on the next cd/dvd she releases. Might even be like glitter/fatted with non song parts in it

[pimenta]

I'm surprised at people judging an story MV before we even have the full story. The "to be continued..." in this case could just be because it's a short version, or another MV in the album will have the continuation, whatever the case, there's no point judging the story before it's complete.

But I must say, I really like what we have so far, it's well done imo. And can we stop to appreciate how Ayu's Christmas song MV starts with her carrying the body of her dead boyfriend with a trail of blood behind?

[Loulines]

I surprisingly liked the video, though the song doesn't suit it at all. I think this is the best PV she released since Virgin Road.
But the fact it's a short version is a joke.
I bet the full video will be watchable after you enter some kind of code that you got with the re-edition of A BEST.

This

Plot-wise I don't know how to feel about the video... It's clearly a lot sadder than the aura of the song but contrasting must have been the idea. But, I don't get how this follows Summer diary, they're SO different D: Guess gotta wait for the full thing

Visually-wise, THE PV IS GORGEOUS! Outfits, hairstyles, scenarios AND camera are all great I am so happy to see she stepped up the game in this PV, I can't wait to see the rest of it! (and wonder when we're gonna get it) btw besides the ending of the song, they also cut a bit from the intro, didn't they?

[Surreal17]

Is it me or ayu may have killed Shu-ya in the pv? In the scene where they are lying on the bloody floor, ayu doesn't seem dead to me. Even her position is a bit weird.
