I think it's Ayu following a fashion trend: http://www.flashtat.com/

^ I saw a girl on the bus with those kind of tattoos a couple of days ago and I thought they were so weird... I didn't even know this was a trend

[stickyrice]

I actually use those tattoos quite often lol Especially now with all the music festivals and outdoor events. They're fun and flashy

I've thoroughly enjoyed watching this PV! Although I kinda wish it didn't have to be a short version...because now all I want to know is why Ayu & Shuya are so upset & what happens at the end of the PV. But speaking of Ayu & Shuya, they absolutely make the most sweetest couple in this PV & I just loved watching it so much! Hopefully I'll love it even more once the full version is out.

Also..."Summer Diary", as the song itself, is just lovely. Such a perfect song for the summer, I love it so much!

Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to watch

She looks so beautiful and so young, so gorgeous. She's really come back, and it's so amazing. I am really excited for this next chapter in her career.

[Ryusei]

After hearing the song I really hope she'll perform this on NHK SONGS

[tsumekaze_]

She looks so beautiful, really. She's stunning. I'm happy to see shu-ya back! hope he can make it for the TA tour performances... he looks a bit tired tho doesn't he? I'd say he looks older but not in a good way çç

Nice melody, but she has at least twenty songs that uses the same arrangement. Guess she's firmly in Matsuda Seiko territory now then.

Similar arrangements are not that bad, but when melodies start to be repeated, then there might be issues. It is just one song after all and for Ayu even if there are 20 songs with very similar arrangements, there are 20 others that sound completely different.

Do you honestly know someone with such a large discography who does not do similar arrangements?

Its the period of her giving that classic ayu vibe to all her Japanese fans so i guess thats the point

Dear everyone in this thread, especially the one who share the PV.. I don't want to be rude but pls take your time to read something in TA Global thread..

I know you just want to share with everyone.. But pls little bit control yourself. Because in the future if something like this always happen, in the End it will hurt Ayu so much..

Sorry before.. One more time i want to say that i dont want to be rude or arrogant.. But for sake of everyone inc Ayu, i really hope you guys will understand.. Thanks before..

the thing is when artists find their sound, especially the ones that have been on the scene for decades, they usually stick to it. I could name you a few who did that. Some of course end up falling into the "what's popular" and adapting to that.

It actually sounds much fresher for me than anything she did lately, it has this very very old sound of hers to me which makes it very nice. It makes me think of No Way To Say, when i hear the intro. The melody is very nice.

I gave up on one of my fave male musicians because he does so little nowadays, and when he does it sounds the same. Compared to Ayu he seems to be a lazyass now. And Ayu still gives me something that just doesn't let me give up on her. I don't know. For some reason this whole thing was giving me good wibes since we got Step by Step pv.

Wow, another thing that has leaked? Poor TA members. Bet they are not amused with this. Anyway, I think we have a lot of information already about sixxxxx within a week. Best to slow down and get 100 times more slayed on the day of the release. That's my plan.

But, I have listened to Summer Diary and it is very beautiful. The PV did not excite me that much.

[dumbellz]

Summer diary is really refreshing yet there's a bittersweet feeling. I really love this song.

As for the pv, I don't know if it's low budget or they are trying to have this 90s feel for the music video, especially the part where ayu walks in the beach... It has this old and nostalgic feeling... Reminds me of those fake music video you see when you go to those ktv/karaoke... You know those random girls walking down the beach... The sunset scene can be beautiful but sadly we only see ayu's silhouette.

[kiseki89]

I think the song is good, cant wait for the album&mirror to reach me! As for the pv, I think it's nice though I dont understand the raining part at the start. After watching on TA, kinda regret not getting the DVD too...

[Ayumi Romania]

I love the PV and I love the song!

[Ashen Twilight]
