I thought so too.

mirrorcle world was very cool to me, although they could have better shots.
Ayu looked gorgeous, which is the most important thing xD

A fashion photographer did the PV, and it was his first one.

So I think this is an okay job, but it's still pretty bad.

^I think it's a great job by him, so give him his props without critizing him at the end. Honestly, when will people be satisfied with Ayu puts out. I've really liked all the PVs that ayu has had for GUILTY. The album might have disappointed me but the PVs with the album were excellent, imo.

^ lol! Their actions are.

Disappointing and funny can describe this pv.

Disappointing as in this pv was shot in paris, so i was expecting it to be something bombastic and grand, but it ended up with people running along the streets aimlessly, some random shots and faint storyline/plot. This money could've been used to shoot a better pv. But since truehappiness had mentioned that the director is a first-timer..so i guess i ended up lowering my benchmark. The song was nice but the pv fails to push the song to a greater height.

Funny because of the guys..and don't worry there's no malice in my words. The guys seem to be following ayu without a purpose and the first few seconds which shows them running and hiding behind the pillars is funny because of the way they run. ummm the next funny part comes in when ayu is ''running'' away in her red puffy dress from the guys.

I liked ayu in all five outfits and IMO the red dress and the white one were the prominent ones. This pv could've been developed into a 007 pv like others had said..and in THAT case the lingerie scene will seem less random and the whole pv will be much better.

The PV does seems to have more towards displaying fashion rather than a story, but with the director's fashion photo roots, I guess I'm not surprised.

Well, it's his first time directing...everyone have to start somewhere

You know.. I think they just bleached her teeth and she's having problems fully closing her mouth because it feels strange. Her teeth look different to me.
After watching it again,
I can honestly say..

Screw it, I LOVE the PV

It's Ayu, She's there, she's happy, she's gonna BE there no matter what negative reporters and reports say (thats what _I'M_ thinking those guys are) no matter what she does, wears, thinks, acts, they'll try and find her.. She has the attitude and strength to keep going..

*shrugs* probably not what she wanted it to mean.. but I like it

During the first part of the PV where you see those random guys in black running around and Ayu sings the verse part of the song in that trencoat and black gloves outfit, I thought this was going to be some sort of action/mystery/chase thingy like those Tintin or Spirou cartoons I read when I was a kid... both of which originate from France! Hell, the whole trench coat thing is not only very stylish (imo anyway) but just screams out a Tintin or Spirou-esque adventure!

But then it moved on to the feathers and the red dress, which looked equally pretty, but obviously didn't have much to do with the crime solving adventure I was hoping for. Oh well, at least the end with the telephone booth and the retro car went back to the feeling I was thinking the whole video was going for...

Come on Tintin, Spirou and/or slightly retro crime-solving story fans! I know I'm not alone in this!

I think this is the only Ayu PV that I laughed at... sigh I'm too cruel haha
The song is great, but this is a step down from 80% of her PVs

And how exactly are you all measuring this PV? Against what other PV?

My first impression on Mirrorcle World PV:

She's fierce looking in the opening, which helped keep me drawn to the rest of the video. Granted, after watching it I realize that there wasn't much plot to it. Nonetheless, the fact that the PV was a fashion photographer's first time doing this kind of work, you have to give the guy some credit.

I saw the PV as a sort of "coming of age" of Ayu. Maybe it's her way of making a bridge over into being more of a grown woman, being known as a little more mature. After all, she IS turning 30 this year. She'll still probably do cute stuff, but I feel she is trying to also move on into the next phase of her life.

Ayu dressed in different outfits was perhaps a way of "reflecting" on different aspects of the coming years. Maybe that's how the PV relates to the lyrics. And yes, pun intended on the reflection reference.

As Donny Deutsch said in his book "Often Wrong, Never in Doubt," you can't please everybody or else you pretty much end up failing.
