Sunrise PV thoughts

[Calico]

It was nice...but really, really boring.

I agree, I really wanted to see way more shots of the fans. To me this PV seemed like it should've been more about them, especially after the hubaloo of getting them there. I did like the ending though when she thanked them and they all chanted her name. Reminded m of her concerts. XD

I actually like it ^-^ The setting, her looks, the editing are great <3 And she didn't make those strange overly expressive facial expressions, that alone makes me happy xD

[sugarbasil]

I wonder if not being in the PV much or getting to see Ayu (speculative) or getting anything at all (speculative) made the TA fans bitter and like her less......

[Aga-chan]

^Well, there's also "Sunset". Maybe we'll see more of the audience there, because there might be less going on performance-wise. Like no jumping and the like. And there are also the making of's.
Just being picked among such a huge amount of applications is already a success.

Hm, it's ok, but quite boring.
Like expected.

Pros:
-Ayu looks stunning. I love her hair and the white lightning makes her pale and Ayu looks much better pale than with tan.
-The setting is gorgeous. All those platforms and stages.. really nice.

Cons:
-Where are the fans? Seriously you can barely notice them til the end if you don't know there are that much fans in the PV. There needn't be close ups of the fans but much more scenes with the platforms and the fans cheering would have done wonders for the atmosphere.
And yes I'd love close ups of the fans just because to see how happy they're to be there and near Ayu.
-Her dancers are getting too much attention. Especially at the end when there are so many with Ayu on one platform. o.O
Just two or three with her are enough. And why the mics? It seems to me they're just singin along not singing the background chorus.
-Where's the choreography? Ayu hasn't any, the dancers just a little. And that's all? Weren't there supposed to be a choreography? That's weird...

I'm kind of sad that Ayu is that much seperated from her fans. She loves her fans and likes to be with them (just like at the airports). I don't know.
But overall the PV is nice, Ayu is happy and it's a summer song, so~

And just a thought, but the days before the PV shooting it rained, right? So maybe the white lightning is to pretend there's sun.

i just found that her hair is pretty nice. the whole PV is summer-ish, but thats all, just nice. i cant say that the whole thing is very interesting, but looking at her smiling and the energy she presented, i really felt very warm

[U-GO-BOY]

^I think Sunset PV will just be her alone..

[njanjayrp]

I think the PV is ok, it's fun and fits the song. I think the dancers + headsets was, well, not really needed. I watched it a couple of time last night~ And well yeah the extreme white lightning is quite obvious XD I can only hope the DVD ver. will look slightly better and clearer of course, as after all I wasn't happy with the quality of the rip ^^

[YuriChan]

It's genki! <3 I mean... It was energetic! ^^ She looks ADORABLE in this PV!!! The only complaint I have about it is that it's too bright! (X_X);;;

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

I actually prefer this kind of pvs, than really crazy stuff like sparkle... at least in this pv she gets to be AYU and not some kind of sexy wanna be :S

I'm really happy with this ^^ hopefully sunset is gonna be the pick of this single *0*

[norain]

I thought it was absolutely boring. I only watched through it because ayumi was in it...it was so hard to watch to me because it was BORRINGGG....

yeah...

[ayu_fantasy]

Simple but she looks bubbly and cute..

[HanabiChick]

It's the usual summer PV with Ayu and her dancers bouncing around together, but at least there's no freaky expressions, and everyone looks more relaxed. The song still sounds a bit unfinished though, was a bit disappointed with that.

[Qt Mashi]

I didn't like it the first time watching it but after watching it the 3rd time I'm really happy with it!

Ayu looks and moves natural which reminds me of her old lives where she didn't have to dance and pull faces and still be entertaining.

the setting was bright and her fans wore colourful clothes, Ayu looked so cute!!

but if Ayu did another one of this PV i'd be disappointed!

Thank god Wataru Takeshi is back! one of my fav directors!

[bluegie]

I dun really know if getting more air time for the fans mean anything at all. I mean, all the hypes about TA members participate in the pv are kinda built up in this forum, not in the general public. Probly even the fans in Japan don't get the hype about it, because sometimes ayu or teamayu do invite them to participate in pvs/lives/etc. Of course getting more shots of the fans' platforms may give another feeling to the pv, but I dun really think the fans will get upset for not getting enough shots...

[Hydeki]

Well, it is a bit disappointing for me because beside the party scene what we saw in the preview, I was expecting something meaningful... but nothing appeared. Although is a funny PV, it was hard to me to watch the entire video.

[truehappiness]

I agree, I really wanted to see way more shots of the fans. To me this PV seemed like it should've been more about them, especially after the hubaloo of getting them there.

What hullabaloo? I swear, outside of AHS and some other forums, no one really knew that they were doing it with TeamAyu members, haha.

[AyUmIXx]

i love the PV..
even though it's very simple..and i love the building they're using... (where is that anyway, maybe one day if i'm in Japan, i wanna go there)
love to see when the camera captures around the building and seeing lots of fans waving the towel...it's so great!!

[JinHamasaki]

Well, I understand there is an effect, but I think the CM version is much more bearable than what we have now.



I think it would be really cool if "Sunset" had photo snapshots of Ayu with TA and her dancers (kinda like the end of fairyland, without the burning!). If Ayu is just singing in the sunset with some female dancers for ~5 minutes....it's gonna be a long 5 minutes.

[Blasterion]

It's a nice PV and so Energetic!
I feel a bit bad for the TA members..they were so far away!
and more for the ones who were blocked by part of the structure lol

but it looked like they were having lots of fun ^^
