I feel like this whole video is just a compilation of everything she's ever been criticized for smashed together, and the whole time she's carrying herself with confidence, doing whatever she feels like doing, expressing herself however she wants.

Even though a vast majority of this video's elements are things I've disliked in the past, her posture and her confident delivery make it all work SO WELL.

A great diagnosis! Would you mind to elaborate on which things iin the PV and when she does the things she was always critisized about when the full PV will be out please? (something like a PV synopsis/concept summary).

I think I will, actually! I need to go through & gather up some sources for reference of course so I'm glad we don't have the full PV quite yet, but there'll be a ton of things to refer to.

I miss more effects in the video to illustrated better the song

Can you tell me in which Sakanaction PV he appeared?

I'm going to be a pessimistic person. I don't think there was anything about this video I liked or the song for that matter. I tried to let it grow on me...Nope. I can see why some people think it's cool, but after letting the whole thing process in my mind, I've concluded that it's just too desperate looking. Ayu is a fierce, inspiring, and awesome lady...

...but this song and video just don't say that to me. It's too corny I guess. Like...I totally loved BRILLANTE actually. It probably helps that that song is one of my most favorite songs in the world. That video looked powerful and inspiring. This video.... is forced.

I've been thinking this for a while though that when she tries to put on a sexy, domineering look, it comes off as awkward. The only time I've seen her put on her uber-sexy-facade and really do it right was in Sparkle. She looked hot as hell and seemed totally natural.

The thing is, I get that she seems to really have a thing for BDSM. I don't begrudge her for that, but I feel like she could do it a little better. In the end, I guess this song + video is just not my bag of chips. It could be that I'm just misunderstanding the concept. I just don't care for the "let's look like a total badass by acting fierce and bitch-tastic" idea.

OK. Negativity over. I like all the other songs I've heard, just not this one, so I can be content. XD

Love the PV and the song. For me the best part is when the guy wearing sunglasses hit his face with somebodys head at 2:25... I can't stop laughing....

@Delirium-Zer0 I'm thinking like you ^^ When I saw the PV I felt like all the things she did in the PV were things criticized by her fans. BSDM style, the clothes she wears, being sexy and bitchy, gay things, drag queens and Ayu has led it to another level in the PV (for example, orgy)
With WARNING, Ayu is trying to show us that these things are part of her, she likes it and since (2003/2004) she is doing it on diferents levels.
Ayumi Hamasaki are a lot of things and if you don't like it, then go away, cause she didn't change and she does all she wants to do, if you not like it, then it's your problem (It's my opinion about she is trying to said with WARNING.)

Next thing Ayu be selling bondage gear at her tours.

Can't wait for the A Dildo.

I'm hoping when ayu has her inevitable secondary peak she sends one to Namie. Even better if their albums are released on same day.

it's like she's warning people to piss off or they're gonna be offended cu's she's not changing lol


now we just need to get Last Minute. Man, Ayu, don't ruin that one, PLEASE! i'm hoping you left the best for the last.

[xLuna&1LOVE]

lol

[perfectodub]

imo really bad video, pretentious, simple-minded, naive
why using a fake "orgy" to say "you don't know the real me"?

if you want to talk about sex, extreme and been rebellious
great! talk about it, with passion art and deepness not just making faces.

[oaristos]

^ what's wrong about orgies? aren't they a rebellious, extreme form of sex (I mean, in a way that's not conventional)?

[blackmage]

Ayu looks amazing and I love this side of her. Finally a song I feel like I love love love automatically. I think from the preview, the footage is all over the place and the concept could have been visualized stronger. It looks so messy. The hallway scene... I wish Ayu held back on the bad dramatics... other than that, it is a more exciting P/V than 'The GIFT'.

Because this isn't the first time Ayu goes a little rock/S&M themed because of the leather, etc. She should have included or focused the video of her performing Shibari/Kinbaku on her male models/dancers while rocking out, integrated into the P/V rather than faux-orgy. If she wanted to shock or take it to the next level, I think actual bondage would have been the next step.

[attractive nausea]

^^^ she's a pop singer, what do you expect?

[Matt_rq]

In my opinion the pv is really boring, strange & the orgy theme doesn´t have any concept behind it... It´s like Lico create with ayu the idea behind the pv just because they two wanna make XOXO video further to any other level of swinger party. I definitely think this is not like BRILLANTE (that pv was gold) and is not her best pv since that, I prefer Zutto pv because it was a concept behind. The good thing is the song and her hair. Nevermind, I still love you ayu even if you ride a dildo in your next video.

Don't.
Don't start blaming a staff member because you don't like them. Licco is a dancer, not a creative director.
