I was disappointed, it seemed kind of cheap and rushed imo. It was alright though, the telpehone scene was good and I make a set from the Ayu in lingerie moment, she looked so cool!

Well, I liked the PV overall, But I think that the director should have taken advantage more of the city, apart from these random scenes in the beginning.

IMO they have wasted time and money in a useless travel to Paris.

I really liked the whole thing, I was only bothered by the overacting she brought from the dont leave me alone pv. I know the song is dramatic, so it kinda calls for dramatic moves, but she could just cut back on it a liiittle bit. And what was up with the "ayumi hamasaki - Mirrorcle World" part?? That looked soo bad.

I think she looked stunning in all of the different scenes though, it's definately not boring. The phonebooth part was cool and the whole visual side was great. Better than most of the GUILTY pvs imo.

Kind of random...I personally don't see a reason why it had to be shot in Paris for a PV like this....

It wasn't her best, which makes me glad that I only have money for the CD version ^^;;. It was eye candy, and eye candy doesn't do it for me(well, except the guy dancers in my name's WOMEN, but shhh don't tell XD).

I wish there was an actual mirror breaking when the mirror shattering part of the song came on...

Also, did anyone notice, the vocal problems in the chorus weren't altered too much, and the music is still overpowering.

Eh, nothing was special except ow beautiful Ayu looked. The scenery was nice and all too but it was kind of boring to watch. I don't like Ayu in sexy lingerie =/ I think she's trying too hard. IMO! Don't bash me lol But anyways...boring. And the PV reminded me a LOT of Koda Not a good thing >.>;
The way she moved and all of that reminded me of the (d)lma PV as well. Too dramatic xD

EYE CANDY! xDDDD

It's okay, bit too random, both the song and PV. It doesn't work for me.

I think it was put together all wrong. Everything else could've been saved, even her overacting lol. The imagery wasn't horrible, the costumes were lovely, and there was enough going on I just think...

someone should use another video of her's and mesh it with this one to create a seamless edited Mirrorcle World pv that works lol. That's all I got to say.

I loved this video! When I started watching, I was excpecting a plot and all, but after some moments I understood it's nothing about a plot.. It's just visual. Well, if the director wanted to show a little story or sth, he failed.

Anyway, the red dress is gorgeous <3 the phonebooth scene is great as well!

Not her best, but far from bring her worst.

I thought there was gonna be a plot because of these "agents" running around with walkie talkies. The plot is kinda that ayu is chased by them (?) That's all I got.

I think the theme was having "different faces". Thus mirror-ish.

IMO, it would have been -AWESOME- if the telephonebooth scene was BEFORE the bridge, and the mirror smashing part was her breaking through the telephonebooth.

So many negative comments...

Well, I liked it. I don't mind if it was random, it was fun! And visually it was stunning. The only thing I'm really missing is that she would've actually broke something in the mirror breaking part.

I seriously think the feather part was directly stolen from Kuu. Seriously, the black feathers for her hair, the dark make-up...100% copied. :/

I dunno...the PV overall was pretty bad, mostly due to choppiness. I don't know why all of a sudden she feels the need to be so sexy and show so much skin when she didn't in the past. She seems to do something like this every time her career goes down a bit. Remember when STEP you/is this LOVE came out? I don't remember distinctly what it was (I THINK it was Kuu's popularity stepping up and Ayu's going down), but we were all pretty shocked to see those covers. It's almost like she's trying to compensate or get more hits. Though then again, she could just be exploring a bit and trying something out that she always wanted to. Maybe she just really wanted to be sexy.

And I think I'm the only one here who really didn't like her red dress. :/ Her hair was too big and it just didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. :/ What can I say?

It would have been really cool to see her walk by a mirror shop or something and punch a mirror when the mirror-smash part came.

Woah, woah, I like the PV a lot more than I'm making it sound. XD

There's more to this PV that it looks at first sight. Yes, there isn't much happening; but there actually is.. There's some weird, almost creepy/poetic relation between the exact words Ayu sings and the way she looks at you through the screen. The music, arrangement-wise has a lot of chaotic, un-ordinairy elements, and these are made stronger with certain small details of the video.

I dunno how to explain it.. There is just something about this video; something that shows a whole new side of Ayu.
