Thoughts on the JEWEL PV - Page 5

Larisa-chan · #1 21st November 2006, 12:30 AM

It was a gorgeous PV and reminded me of the ones that Mika does. But it's not to say it wasn't original!! I loved the concept of all of those jewels, it fits the song title of course. Only criticism is, of course, I wish there was more action/story.

Must... wait... until... the album comes out... XD Hardest thing ever.

1 LOVE and momentum :]??

Or maybe just 1 LOVE.

Must be those quirky lashes

.
The feather lashes looked cool. Overall, though, I feel like the PV is more of a commercial than an actual PV.
-edit-
I guess //hikari already mentioned "ad" part (woops).
From the reviews, momentum sounds pretty promising.

ooooo *blind*

I like it. Love the whole "look at my bling-ness" theme.

ayu didn't look like OMG a cow or anything. It was nice and simple and sparkly and shiny and uh... yeah

Has momentum aired!?

Qt Mashi · #8 21st November 2006, 01:36 AM

the jewels were beautiful in the PV but it was just boring watching Ayu surounded by jewels

Axel_Grease · #9 21st November 2006, 01:48 AM

Ooh, the leftover jewels should be made into a nice grill for Ayu. xD

#10 21st November 2006, 01:49 AM

I'm guessing she means the song. If the video aired, I would just about choke on my own drool.

Ah, of course. Thanks, didn't think straight there for a while.

Make sure to get that on tape.

Well, I think that's what we're all thinking, Leena

truehappiness · #13 21st November 2006, 03:07 AM

I'm sure there are others that have problems with it..

It's just so prettiful, not many people notice.

ruixiong89 · #14 21st November 2006, 03:14 AM

*sobs* Urgh, I don't want to notice it, destroys my perception of the beauty of the PV. It's easily Ayu's best PV of the year BUT these intricate details don't escape my eyes, and they're annoying me like mad.

truehappiness · #15 21st November 2006, 03:37 AM

I see them too~

I wonder if it's supposed to be the props 'blowing in the wind?' D:

*hearT_Place* · #16 21st November 2006, 04:34 AM

Yeah, I noticed them too.

Wow, this is the first PV of the Secret Era that I really like. It is very beautiful; I'm not one to like eye-candy only PVs but I really enjoy this one. Instead of an interpretation of the lyrics, we get a play on the title. I loved the flowers weeping jeweled tears and the Ayumi among the thorns.

That is something that I found interesting. Everything in the video is very pretty, but then you have sharp, black thorns. I don't know if there is anything to it, but there it is.

ruixiong89 · #17 21st November 2006, 04:43 AM

Yup, I liked the Ayu in the thorns! Even better was that the Ayu in the thorns didn't sing at all! Ok, it's weird but I think it reflects beauty amidst suffering and pain. It's like that Ayu was from an alternate dimension and white-wintery Ayu was looking at her.

^ I like your interpretation that Ayu played on the title of her song. Yup, I thought it was a great idea she played on the song title.

Bah, I noticed another problem. Why isn't the ice cube giving out vapour? I know it's NOT an ice cube but a crystal cube. But in the PV, technically, it's MEANT to be an ice cube because at the intro sequence you see vapour to reflect "coldness". Ok, I could be a director next time.

Yeah...it kind of reminded me of the line

"Because your feelings sank painfully into
The scar in the depth of my heart
And changed it into tenderness"

and

"Because you always show me
That there remains a purity even in a corner of this city"

ohsixthirty · #19 21st November 2006, 05:54 AM

hrm...i don't really notice the tiny details that are bothering some, and yeah, not much going on in this PV...but, i don't think it matters. it looks beautiful, its the best she's done in a long time, and for that, i am happy.

raspberrygashes · #20 21st November 2006, 05:56 AM

IMO it's simply gorgey. Ayu looks great and though the PV is simple, it's nice to watch.
