I liked it a lot. It tied in with the song really well, displaying how we are all dead and void of emotion when others are around. And it proves Ayu's dancing PVs do better when PECO isn't choreographing. Actually, everything Ayu does is better without PECO...

I could think about this more, but I'm going to go with my first instinct: self-loathing.

Marionette-Ayu hates the real Ayu for putting her on display like that in the silly carousel, and her hatred brings her and her cronies to life...Next time real Ayu is sleeping, they're going to be hiding under the pillows and come out and kill her.

...I have no idea where any of that just came from. Anyway...

It would be cool if they could make the spinning section at the end of the catwalk into a little merry-go-round for AT08. Though it would be a LOT of work, and not necessarily able to be easily dismantled. But still. It'd be cool.

I loved Marionette =]

It was really good (and the song is great in itself)... I liked the creativity and the whole concept. The eerie theme was def. a plus!

The eyes, costume, movements... everything... great!

Cool video. I like her dark, melancholic videos!

Um. Why does Shu-ya's smile look...long? Or was it just me? LOL

I loved it! I thought Ayu's acting was really good. I mean she really looked like a puppet...her dancers were pretty freaky too lol! I liked the special effects as well. The PV puzzled me a bit, especially the ending...it was like they were about to have a group hug or something xD! But it was awesome! I give it a 10/10!

overall - I really enjoyed the PV. Very dramatic and the eyes were cool. Didn't like the close ups of the dancers from time to time.
^^ LOL . . yes agree . . but ending has very deep meaning behind that . . don't know exactly . .

I keep to myself because I’m selfish
I don’t speak to you because I think you’re selfish
Can’t there be an easier way?

My mind trespasses a vacant heart
But it soon learns of the orphan of secrets
Held inside
Why can’t I just foster my emotions
Like you had
Like all of you had?

In the stormy season
We often admire the rain
Why is it so admirable?
What’s so blissful about crying skies?
Nothing’s blissful about running mascaras
And gasping orbs of emotion
Smeared liner of depression
Drenched cheeks with forged smiles

The colder it is
The warmer we truly feel, right?
So can’t you just accept the secrets
And put away the selfish mindset
Because I can’t do the same thing.

I liked it, a lot. She hasn't done a PvP like this in a while. Since [STEP you]... I think, where it's very visual and takes you to another place like she used to do in the past. The environment and the emotions they portray are very nice and blend in nicely. Granted, the TV Ayu was kind of random, I think of it like the laying on the couch Ayu in [GAME]. Kinda random, but there to look good.

The ending might be something like she finally broke free and can stand on her own without the strings. It's kind of corny and I kinda wish they didn't add it, but they did. As for the alternate ending, I think that would contridict the meaning of the lyrics. It would be cool, but wouldn't fit. Then again.. [ANGEL'S SONG] had nothing to do with wings on someone's back or anything for that matter...

This is by far one of her better PVs in a very long time. It had something she's lacked for a while.. depth.

The reasons for the lack of depth:
Too much Takahide Ishii and Wong Hoi.

Lets see, do you think there is any connection with the strings finally breaking up and the real-life Ayu waking up? And the fact that the puppets acted NORMAL when Ayu went out of the room? Doesn't it make you wonder, which one EXACTLY is she?

Um...yeah. Sorry for the weird questions. XD

anyway, i think the PV was great!! i guess Together When... and Marionette's PV made it up for the album.. i like the creepiness of the PV.

i guess shuya and gomi's close up pretty spoiled the entire PV by that a bit. although i didnt like shuya's big mouth, but i must say it was pretty creepy.. LOL

and also, though i didnt like the ending, i was like What the crap??????????? but i think they did that for a purpose. Ayu was trying to portray something like she isnt being manipulated. she can stand on her own or something like that. i still like the PV a lot!!!!

i wonder why ayu's work can be so inconsistent lol. we were grumbling on the PVs of t2m and decision and now we praised ayu for the PVs of Together When... and Marionette.
