Unite! doesnt have a PV .

But then again, it's not a PV to be overanalyzed. It's just very silly. It's good to see Ayu smiling and laughing, and is very nice footage to watch, but it doesn't seem like Ayu, and it's not PV material.

ya the lip sync thing really didnt done well.. especially the part she said Bold & Delicious .. The yayayya part aslo didnt lip sync well and its killing me!!! Somehow i can sense that she feel embarrassed with certain posed.Haha!

who was that lucky person who was hugging her to keep her warm?!
i envy him/her~

Ayu look like she just being scared by someone/something .. ????


Omg..This Pv was totally crap!!! I will feel embarrassed if i show this to my friends. She look like an old rich lady trying to act sexy?! I dont know.. This is not very her!!!!! Where is the old Ayu ??? I want my fairyland, Alterna , BOY , NWTS those kind of PV Back.... She really really disappointed me. Its ok to have PV filmed in New York. Appears is a very good one.. But what is this ?!!


afterall the song is good!!!! Just with a bad PV ... really bad PV...

what?! Is she the new Beyonce of Japan. Only better than Beyonce. Ayu is gorgeous and she knows it and she's not afraid to show it.

She nailed this style pretty well. The video is too ghetto for me. I still hate the song. the ja ja ja da da da wouh wouh wouh parts are the worst thing I've ever heard.

It was a boring pv. But Ayu made it worth watching.

And she said thank you, not shank you o_O

[SnowDrop]

I really really LIKE it! I wouldn't say that I LOVE it though.
She looks amazing in this PV, I've never seen her looking so good. The song is just a fun and catchy one, it's nothing you should take it too seriously. I think it's fresh with something else than her usual deep PVs (although I must admit I was kind of disappointed ._. ). I can't wait to see Pride, but I'm not expecting so much (I don't even like the song).

[Hachimitsu]

I'm not sure what to think about this PV.. I love the way she's dancing and singing, it reminds me of the way I usually dance in front of my mirror But the PV is almost like a Making Of, and nothing really happens.. But it's different from, for example, her Carols PV, because the way she's singing is really fun to watch, while Carols was just rather boring.. She really seems to be having a lot of fun.

I'm really excited about the full song, it's great! Around 3 minutes it sounds like a remix, but in a good way. And near the ending, when she repeates the "Bold" and "Delicious", that sounds really good too. Overall, I think it's a great song, really different from her previous songs, and the PV is fun to watch, even though it's a shame there's no dancing like the Real Me PV.

[SheFliesHigher]

Geez, how do I even respond. Um. Well she looks beautiful...but also like J-Lo or Beyonce...I was really surprised. You could definitely tell this was filmed by an American director. By that I mean it's bland and simple ^^ Watching it did bring a smile to my face but I definitely wouldn't show this as an introductory video to Ayumi.

The song...I'm coming to like it more...but I wish the BOOOOLLLD AND DELICCCIIIOUUUSS part didn't explode into the song so loudly.

[*Petit*]

I thought the PV did the songs justice. I think the NY setting was perfect, I like the song more now. But she does look very J-lo in this Pv.

Wow I never took it that way. She has never acted herself in a PV before. I like this PV more now. XDD

[makie_7]

I also thought in J-lo when I saw it
ayu looks very beautiful, but I still don't like the song a lot...

yes it does, its the dancing one taken from one of her tours. Downloadable too.

[firefox]

She looks pretty there nothing else can be said about the PV......

[Surreal]

I don't think this PV is low-budget at all............. .....and UNITE! doesn't have a PV. It's just a short promo film kind of thing of her dancing with her crew. Same as Never Ever.

That is only Promotion Clip.. Not PV

[Baernash]

Well... I'm little disappointed. I think she looks really good in this PV but for me is little too much behind the scene footages and nothing much happened in this clip. However with this PV song sounds for me much better. Full version is nice for hearing and this choir sounds good and more smoothly than in LQ previews. My first thoughts about STEP you was negative too but after few listenings I started to like refrain and all... I see now I have similar feelings with B&D - this "YAYAYAYA GAGAGAGA DADADADA WOWOWOWO" is cool!

oh ok.. sorry, I counted that as a PV..

[Baernash]

Yeah, UNITE! is only short Promotional Clip...

[[AHS]MortalSex]

Damn!!! that was really nice lol she´s getting into the western world but somehow I think that she doesn´t fit into that atmosphere Was this PV shot in NY?!?!?!

[ayu_ayu301]

I really like the PV... i hated the song from the preview .. but this PV definitely has some freshness to it .. aside from the usual darken mood of her PV ..

and of course we all have different taste .. but I really like this song now after the PV ^^

[atsai]

I found the PV to be really boring. =/ While I do admit Ayu looked great.. there's nothing really too interesting about seeing her ride through town on the back of a truck.
The song's also a bit >____<.. but maybe it'll grow on me. I used to hate Namie's Want Me Want Me but now I love it. ._.
In any case I'm looking forward to Pride.. it sounded great on the sample.

I distanced myself from AHS simply not to bias my opinion before watching this pv. For now all I can say is eye candy. She looks really gorgeous into this one. And rather sexy. Nonetheless her upbeat songs never really have a plot or a theme in her pvs as far as I could see so I suppose just like most other artists.

It's nice to see the off-shots along with her having fun with the song itself. I agree onto Lumix's point. She was more herself and meeting other people as a normal person rather than a popstar. It actually showed her having fun for once rather than trying to please people. I also give her the credit for having the guts of riding out in New York and sing and dance in front of an audience who does not even know her. I'm sure many people thought she was weird or even crazy.

The song is sort of better too in the pv. I do think it's not her best but it's one of her best compared to her upbeat songs, apart from STEP you and evolution.
Honestly compared to Boys & Girls, Humming 3/4, INSPIRE, Fly High or Angel's Song it actually shines.

Also I found myself comparing it to evolution. In fact there's even the behind the scenes shots in evolution. The song is miles behind, mind you. Yet .. it shows a sort of continuity. evolution shows how Ayu was treated as a sort of doll and told everything in what to do by her director and is given everything on silver platter just in case she doesn't get hurt or anything. In fact she looks quite delicate in it. While in Bold and Delicious it's obvious that she takes control. She's dancing and singing while the van is driving and she's meeting people and her looks are also more natural... more her. She's bold and she's taking control. I like that.

It's also really cute when she says "Thank You Guys" or that's what I think she said.

Hehehe.. I stayed away from the chatroom to have a proper unbiased opinion too and got a shock when I came here and saw a lot of people hated it.. The behind-the-scenes footage are amazing. I would like to see the Making Of, it should be interesting. I think this PV showed us the possibility that Ayu knows some English. My heart leaped when I heard her say "thank you guys" eventhough her slang was overpowering! ^^ In other words, B&D reinforced my love for Ayu. Now all thats ledt is Pride..
