[News] New album 2012 ~Thread III~

[AyUmIXx]

yeaaa i miss the BEACH PV!

[Tom Punks]

Beach PV PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE. I need my generic Ayu beach PV, it's been too long.

[Suteisi]

I love that picture! The outfit, hair and sunglasses give such a simple yet beautiful and natural look. I hope she looks like this in her PVs, if she's filming any while in Hawaii... Or even a photoshoot or something... I always thought Ayu wears bright colors better than blacks and greys...

[AyumiAi]

yay beach pv!

[Aderianu]

Cant remember what else was filmed at Hawaii
was it fairyland?

[Chibi-Chan]

^yeah, it was fairyland^^

[ExodusUK]

I am hoping for fairyland ~Episode II~

[pepper]

I don't like beach PV's. But fairyland PV was gorgeous. and INSPIRE was very original. I don't like PV's like the one for BLUE BIRD.
Why u miss beach PV's when u had beloved? xDDDDDD

I hope she isn't shooting cover in "summer-beach-water scenery". We don't need another Sunrise/Sunset XDDDDDD We know already when she really tries to pick a place, it ends like she is PASTED into stock photo.

Lol, I was about to post:

BUT BELOVED DOESN'T COUNT!!!

I like to pretend that atrocity doesn't exist.

[Tom Punks]

Wow, I forgot beloved existed. I only watched it once.

[pepper]

^ it's still piece of nice PV. even the song is a bit boring.

[Mirrorcle Monster]

beloved was EPIC imo, but I need a happy beach PV

[isthisLOL?]

beloved had incredibly beautiful shots. But it was a fashion shoot in video form and not much more...

You have such poor standards for EPIC.

Exactly. Sure she looked good and the theme was sweet, but the song didn't even need a video. Kee shouldn't be working on PVs, but photo shoot's instead, imo even GREEN which was done by the same moron who killed off MW was zillion times more interesting, though the execution was kinda poor.

[isthisLOL?]

Kee is my favorite PV director...BRILLANTE is by far my favorite Ayu PV, progress had a great concept and beloved is quite beautiful when you know what to expect. I prefered that over having another "sad lovestory" or "crying in a room" PV. Kee has lots iof knowledge on image composition all the other directors Ayumi has worked with do not posess, however that makes his videos slow or boring for some people. (For me it just makes them fascinating and a subject for analysis)
GREEN was also one of my favorites and except for small moments I did not think it was executed poorly.

I despise the love story PVs, though Virgin road was pretty epic, Last angel and Love song were terrible. I liked GREEN a lot, but some scenes simply weren't as good as the other ones.

[!Lawi!]

Anyway, Rock'n'Roll Circus = pure epic win when it comes to PVs imo !!
Apart from S/S, each PV is, at least good, if not excellent -or even perfect at times ; Don't look back is my favourite Ayu PV ever !

I hope the PV shot in that factory will have an alterna vibe, I miss Ayu's creepy PVs!

I agree that the love story PVs did not work the way they were intended to. There was no clear storyline, the whole edit just did not work.
And on GREEN, yes, not everything about it was top-notch. I still like it a lot though

[pepper]

^ yeah, I totally dig something from Ladies Night, Alterna or Don't look back. Or something like ourselves omg. But please no more PV's like crossroad or MOON. In fact Don't look back was only good by visuals - it's still Ayu sitting surrounded by symbols. There was "action" in Ladies Night, alterna, ourselves and thats why they were good. Microphone wasn't creepy, but it got style and lots of action. I hope Ayu will not go with Love songs PV ideas like Love song+Last angel+Virgin Road... They were totally missunderstood and complicated. And her lips was awful in Last angel (XD)
I hope she continues with "every each PV is diffrent" from FIVE. They were maybe not the top ones from her, but I liked they were seperated (with no dull story-line)

[relmy]

Virgin Road is the definition of epic for me. Wedding dresses and machine guns. I was pleased just with that. It's far from perfect, but I just LOVED it.

It's made even better because it's been years since I was all just waaaaaah I love it about an Ayu PV.

I just wish Love Songs, Last Angel and crossroad were as good, they totally deserved it. Sweet Season got the second hand embarrassment PV it deserved.
