ah I see what ur saying

my bad

So happy XD

I liked it when they showed Ayu and the other girls working somewhere and they always seemed to mess up :3
And then the people they worked with ended up at that race thing at the end.
I really loved Ayu's hairstyle, she looked so pretty in the PV!

The dancing was funny though xD

Does anyone who the guy is at the starting? He says "It's on" or something..

truehappiness · #**103** 15th June 2006, 01:02 AM

The guy is Go-mi. One of Ayu's.. 'oldest' dancers. He's been with her for a looonngg time. xD

I watched it for the first time yesterday morning. At first I couldn't understand what the heck was going on, and what cars had to do with anything (I'm not a big fan of cars, especially the racing type) but I was cheered up by Ayu at the cashier. I too kinda wish that she did the others job as well, but I see where she was going with ti.

As for the song...it definitely sounds different from the CM, and not in a good way. I liked the CM version a lot more...it made me so excited for the song. But I'm not saying that this song is a total loss. It's probably my second favorite song so far this year. (After Startin')

I saw it 2 days ago. I could hardly watch it all. It was terrible. I felt like I was watching some crappy cheerleading video with some weird-ass 80's song playing in the background. And she was acting extremely preppy. "Oh, look at all the fans I have." Though my opinions changed about BLUE BIRD PV, there's no way to make this one better. After seeing this, the Blue Bird PV, and the cover art of this single; All the energy I feel from her is hunger for money and more fame. If I wanted her to act this way, I would listen to my own native-language music. Don't get me wrong, I love Ayu and her music. I just hate her act lately, and her crappy music. I miss the energy she used to put out. Even if a song of hers sucked, the energy she could put into it made it enjoyable. I really miss that.

Hmm, flashy lights and the cars remind me of Startin'. The clothes, at the beginning, remind me of the 50s, 60s, or the 70s (w/e year it is xD). And I feel sorry for the mail lady. Love the dancing, although the girls' outfits remind me of the Real Me PV outfits. And Ayu looked so kawaii~!

I was thinking Gomi.. But I wasnt sure XD (How long has he been wher anyways? O__O)

Thank you!

I happen to really like the song. I mean, it isn't really anything too extravagantly different than songs that she's done in the past, but it's cute and I'm satisfied with it (I'll be buying the single as well). The PV was cute in my opinion too, and better than BLUE BIRD's. I like the whole working hard for respect theme, it's typical Ayu but that's nothing bad to me. She still has never released a song that I don't like at all

***ImpactBreaker*** · #**109** 15th June 2006, 04:40 AM

With a name like "Beautiful Fighters" and A CM with ayumi playing squash, I'm actually quite surprised a lot of people were expecting some dark rock song. I knew all along this would be a cutesy pop song (I like it btw). The moment the song started playing my first thought was, oh hell, I so know a lot of people will get extremely deceived this is not a dark rock song LOL
The PV is a bit way too pink, shiny and glittery for me though ahhaha I liked the concept but well, it's not exactly "guy friendly", and the song is a bit "Barbie Girl"ish if you know what I mean hahaha

Cause if you notice they all have their dresses that are in the 'omg concert-y' performance during their job [except the waitress one]~

Ayu's is at the end of her segment when the lady tries to buy her bag.. the mail girl has it in her messenger bag, pool girl has it on the side and the painting one .. they zoom in on it

It's on the tip of my tongue too! ><;

It's like.. they've got their day jobs, but by night they're these loved figures.. or something..

Someone a bit more analytical on things like this should explain but.. :[ :[

At first I thought I was random, but now I get it like this: people who fight to achieve something start off having bad moments, being clumsy and going throught deceiving times, but with further efforts they end up becoming brilliant people who get recognition even from the people who used to mock them, hence the title "Beautiful Fighters". I guess ayu's message for this video is to emphasize that people should fight for what they believe in, cause someday they will achieve success even though they have to endure hard times (a bit cliche I know). I totally disagree that ayu was mocking in any way on this PV

I wanna see more CREA and more "alterna"-like song!

Well, I don't get why you're complaining by now since you actually said you wanted her next single (after Startin' was released) to be a very cutesy summer song, so there you go, 2 in a row LOL

sora2522 · #**110** 15th June 2006, 05:56 AM

it reminded me a bit of herbie XD

the song's ok. a bit weird, the pv is, but i like it

cybermoomba · #**111** 15th June 2006, 06:48 AM

UGH! It was horrible! The actors were terrible. They were so over the top and completely annoying.

I really hate it when ayu tries to act cute. It doesn't work for her anymore.

It's just ridiculous. I feel like saying to her: "ayu what are you doing?" She's lost.

Mad_Cactuar · #**112** 15th June 2006, 08:55 AM

WOW! I'm in shock! After the stupid anti-climax of Blue Bird (not that it was a bad song) I was not really bothered about the other song on the single. Only now I watch it. AND OMG, I LOVE IT TO DEATH! No wonder Blue Bird's PV sucked, the budget probably went into this song. I love the song so much, especially the weird robotic vocal thingy. Its so darn catchy. Also the dissonant note when they repeat the robotic parts. So good!!! The PV is so awesome too!

The single's name should have been Beautiful Fighters instead of BLUE BIRD. Why the heck was Blue Bird chosen anyway. I hope Beautiful Fighters gets airplay in Japan.

Damn, the song reduced me to an obsessive, ecstatic, overexcited fanboy..

That happens to me with like, every Ayusong with a PV evar. xD Except maybe B&D. That one just made me like.. '/fall over' XD

Mad_Cactuar · #**114** 15th June 2006, 09:05 AM

I was pretty obsessed with B&D too.. xD It's the very weird stuff that makes me hyperventilate from excitement.

Unlike Blue Bird, Heaven and Fairyland.. >.> Not like those are bad, but...

HEAVEN was sort of a '/sit back and cry' song for me xD Rather than a 'omg obsessivefanboy.' But omg for BLUE BIRD and fairyland.. I'm like.. crazy. Listened to BLUE BIRD like 1000times so far! LOL LOL [it was on loop like forever] and like 5x that for fairyland.. some of my favorite Ayu songs!

I join in the club with you and truehappiness, happens quite often to me to... but I've only been around for two releases this far.

Bazaa · #**117** 15th June 2006, 01:05 PM

The first thing I thought was that she looked like a Barbie in the car scenes XD And I like the song more than when I only heard the preview. About the PV... meh.

kournikova · #**118** 15th June 2006, 01:12 PM

so, so...... it is an ordinary song sung by a diva.........

the energy... I love when she sings with a nice strong beat...... >.<

hallelujah_united · #**119** 15th June 2006, 03:43 PM

I'm glad I put my hopes on this song instead of BLUE BIRD. The CM promised something good, and this was very good indeed. Not one of her more creative PVs, but I guess the idea wasn't to be creative or edgy anyway. Instead, it's really fun, and it really brought a smile to me. I think the PV made my day in the end.

The song is going to be on heavy rotation on my MP3 player definitely, much more than BLUE BIRD gets. In fact, I think I've listened to BF more times in 5 hours than I listened to BB in 5 days.
