when you think about it, this is actually REALLY good, it's just the director decided to use lights that are a bit too bright. I really like it, it's just the lights that take away from it. 8/10.

How about you be tortured for saying crap about an artist who'll make better music than you'll ever make ever?

Everyone is entitled to what they want to think, it's not like you're the god of AHS. >> if anything, nmskalmn or isaac hiew is. :\

A. I don't make music and if I had any programs to do so, I would make something like Ayu's latest songs within 10 minutes. Have you seen the video with the guy who made a song like K-Fed's in 10 minutes?

B. I wouldn't want to be a God of a forum haha.

C. Thank you for reading all my comments and retorting back to make me feel like I'm loved.

D. So off topic.

It sort of reminded me of the Boys & Girls PV when i first started watching it. The lights weren't irritating bright in my opinion. My eyes weren't affected by it, it just didn't make things well visible enough though. I kinda wanted to see ayu better because I think she looked really beautiful with that tiara.
The flexible guy is freaky

I think that he might be emulating some Olympic sports XDD lol

But there was probably a reason for making it so that Ayu was not easily visible. :\

edit: Well then, take your own advice or something and stop being so off-topic yourself.

I think what they meant was.. like.. she was supposed to be 'herself' in the (miss)understood album onward. [I think she said something about being herself in an interview or something] However, the songs don't seem to accurately represent herself at the moment. I don't really think the songs seem quite 'Ayu' enough.. I think right now, songs like 'criminal' are her modern answers to angsty oldies like 'Duty' or something. xD And her 'Startin' is supposed to be like.. evolution. But not.

Remember. These old songs will never be 'reproduced' by Ayu. And if they are, people will probably yet again complain about how it sounds similar to an older work x.x

It's not the worst PV but it's not exciting either. I was expecting a better vid but I'll live. Haha.

...not good. I guess you didn't realize, but I was stating my opinion, not yours. I think the quality of songs is continuing on the downhill since 2000. Don't agree? Too bad.
Suit yourself.

Strangely, the chorus reminds me of Boys And Girls.. The song though, not the PV.

Person A: Oh so, I'm not allowed to state my opinion?
Person C: No, it's bashing.
Person A: *goes into some lecture about how idiotic Ayu fans are*
Person D: (usually someone who doesn't post very much) OMG U R SOOO MEAn!!! HOW DARE U TALK ABOUT AYU LIK THAT?! U BURN IN HELLL!!!!11

This is the exact layout everytime an opinion thread emerges. What exactly are any of you trying to prove to each other all the time? NO ONE'S OPINION IS SUPERIOR. STOP ACTING LIKE IT. Because you do. WHEN YOU KEEP REPEATING THE SAME OPINION IN ALMOST EVERY SINGLE THREAD, YES, you do.

*waits for Person A to reply with something smart*
You are so right.

Meh, I don't like all this bad feeling around here. =X

Personally, I think if we should all try to enjoy music on a whole. If you really can't listen to some songs, then move on and let those who do enjoy it continue listening. That's what I did whenever I got tired of someone.

Actually though, I think the water was a cheap mirror to make it so that the lights would look somewhat endless :p

Not all the kids are ugly! XD The soccer kids are sort of .. unugly xD.


Booornn to beee~

Come to think of it, I still can't see any links between those two songs.

But anyway, I've got to stop watching the PV. In danger of going blind soon.

Ayu looked beautiful but I found this a pretty dull PV. It was too bright. It wouldn't have minded the golden colour if it hadn't sometimes made Ayu hard to see. The dancer reminded me of the weirdness in GAME and didn't quite suit the inspirational mood.
