(NEWS)Ayu will record new PV in Shanghai

[ayupan90]

omg this is awesome! why are ppl being so negative? It's good that Ayu is doing things outside of Japan (means more fans, which means more money lol). I love Mirrorcle World and Bold & Delicious. If she goes to more different countries than maybe she will come the the UK!!! ^_^

[mi|kshake]

I liked Fairyland! Can't be worse than Glitter/Fated.

mi|kshake~

Actually, I like Pride, appears, and Dearest PV a lot. Ayu looks so good in both PV, especially appears and Dearest.

wait.. why nobody talks about Dearest PV? This PV is so good and not firming in Japan!!

and I think talkin' 2 myself firmed in Thailand tho?

Ayu's gonna wear a bunch of pretty haute couture, stylish clothing, sparkly jewelry, fashionable makeup that isn't particularly flattering to her but it's what all the cool kids are doing. She's gonna be going around the streets of Shanghai looking pretty, there'll be only a TINY semblance of a plot, and the acting will be wholly unbelievable. She will never go near any landmarks or anything gorgeous or interesting, she'll just walk around normal-looking places, and every shot done in shanghai will EASILY have been done in a studio, with stock footage CG'd onto the background.

None of ayu's on-location PVs are any good, and I doubt this will be any better.

I'm not looking forward to it. =\ I used to look forward to new ayu PVs, but.... when the track record of bad on-location videos has gone on this long, it's hard to be optimistic.

Well the B&D backdrop was very NYC and couldn't really have been done in a studio. Would've probably looked fake. It was new and something different for her. Same for appears. MW had famous places in Paris and so on.

I don't think the reason for her going is for the scenery. Of course it's easier for her to create an atmosphere in real life rather than in front of a green screen. But more so, it creates hype. Hype sells.

I can only wonder what the PV will be like. I'm curious as to see what it'll be. ^^ Thanks for the info!

A: It was filmed on location in Fukushima.

So far, people just keep talking about Pride , glitter/fated/ B&D/ appears/ MW/ fairyland/ BLUE BIRD


But

NOBODY TALKS ABOUT DEAREST PV BESIDE ME! AND KEEP COMPLAINING HOW BAD AYU PVs on-location!

However, I just complain once about glitter ..

IMO, Dearest is one of the PV - (1) well plot, (2) fit the lyrics, (3) not firmed in Japan.

I loved PRIDE, and didn't like B&D pv at all.

[aloopy]

i'm not a big fan of the songs glitter/fater but i loved the pv .. am i the only one hahahha
i love the fairyland pv! and i love the BLUE BIRD pv! though i dislike the song .
Pride and B&D and MW are oke. not bad not good either imo.
but appears and dearest are just <33333 especially dearest haha

Dearest was very well-done, had a great story, and probably couldn't have been filmed anywhere else (the windfarm was symbolically important). Not to mention it was very well-produced; if I didn't see the making-of stuff, I'd have no idea that it was filmed during a sunny day rather than a rainy evening.

Aside from that, none of her on-location videos have any redeeming qualities. Most of the locations look very generic ("BLUE BIRD" coulda been filmed at any beach anywhere, pretty much; "Bold & Delicious" coulda been done with a blue screen - the only thing that proves she was really there was the off-shot stuff spliced into the video; "Mirrorcle World" could have been done in a western-style park somewhere in Japan). Few of the videos have plots, and if they do, they're not dependent on the location ("kyoai" could have taken place anywhere on earth, including japan; "BLUE BIRD" coulda been off the coast of Japan; "Mirrorcle World"'s story has nothing to do with Paris specifically; "appears" coulda been Japan, or any big city really).

These on-location shoots just seem to be ayu's way of getting Avex to give her a free trip to any of these places.

I have no issue with on-location shoots on principle, I really don't. But I don't see any reason to go out of the country for a shoot unless it's necessary to the substance of the video.

hahaha so true
yeah, I've grown to not have any expectation from Ayu, though I'm expecting the PV to be as boring as her latest ones.

[GRACE]

I'm not really looking forward to a PV so much as I'm looking forward to a PV rip of a new song =P

[Kazeyomi]

lol me too.
BTW, glitter wasn't so bad..not like other past Ayu's PVs but wasn't so fugly.
Anyway I can't wait for the song..ehm the PV :°D

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

the cool thing about ayu going to asia is that, because she's so popular there, we get tons of photos/news. when she goes to western countries--there's waaaay less info/photos haha.

anyway, i kind of miss ayu doing things in japan...when was the last time she did an outside PV in japan? studio things don't count :-\

i just hope the PV is creative thats all~

Last time she did a PV outside of Japan was Mirrorcle World =O 2008 is the year of GLOBAL AYU!

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

^ hm i meant an outside pv in japan...like shot in japan, but outside xD

[GRACE]

^...I...I-I knew that. I was... testing you >.>...

Has she really done PVs outside in Japan very often? A lot of her PVs look like they're done in studios

[zoomzoom]

Hmm RAINBOW is the only one I can think of on the top of my head, city wise.

[MemorialAddress]

oh lord

[lovelism]

Hopefully its true and a nice PV would emerge!
