Sexy Little Things PV Preview

Aww....the song itself seems to be another version of "My Name's Women,", and maybe it was just because of the playback, but Ayu's voice sounds super cute!! I look forward to the PV and song.

^^^ Yeah, I don't hate it, but...I just find Don't look back a bit boring, and didn't live up to what it could have...
But honestly, I'm wondering how in the hell some of you are comparing it to the near perfection that is Microphone! XD

This is going to be a very awkward and split decision album, I feel.

This is going to be a very awkward and split decision album, I feel. We've already had this happen with Sunrise/Sunset, and then the covers, and then Sexy little thing, and then Microphone PV, and now Don't look back... So I'm curious to see what everybody's final opinions will be like.
Don't look back > Microphone


I love both, but I have to go with the arabic one!

wow @ don't look back. wow...

love the mix of electronic beats and traditional/arabic sounds.

WOW.

This album is really shaping up to be her best.

At work so I have to wait until I get home to watch Microphone, want to watch it in HQ quality instead of on youtube.

not that I know of but this is the first time that one of her songs sounds arabic like (sorry if I got the wrong term)

to me is a nice song to listen to and I will put it in my iPod but is not a song that I love is a song I like


ok I watched Microphone pv a second time and I'm starting to like it but I still wanted to see more ayu

my favorite part was when the guy smacked the cards out of her hands and she was like what look it was him..... sooo cute

that PV was epic, lol. all those people really freaked me out! i didn't understand why ayumi's finger kept touching the screen like an iphone or whatever, but then the ending came and i'm like "....now i get it!", lol. ayumi is so cute in that SLT outfit. such an awesome PV. i just loved it!

oh, and about Don't look back - i really like it, too! it's a very different sound for ayu. i seem to love all the previews of songs that we've gotten so far!

This album has a lot of variety already. Now I think "Last Links" can be just about any type of song since she's getting so experimental with this album.. I wonder what it'll sound like.

Duty and vogue were both arabic inspired ! And INSPIRE has that feeling too, I would say

The best

Don't look back will probably be a song I'll always just like.
It's a good song but nothing that I'm amazed with

^ That's how I feel about it.

Oh my gosh, I forgot about Last Links! From the start, it's really intrigued me..... I'm seeing a slower song, maybe even a ballade. But I'm expecting it to be powerful. I'm also expecting it to take a while to grow on me, but once it does, I'll probably like it a lot. Not love it, but still...... I'll be more than happy if that's how it turns out, hah.

Eh, honestly, for me, it's just because it's boring, like I said. I love the Arabic part of it, and I love that she's experimenting, yet again. But I hate that she didn't fully 'bring it'. >.< And like Everlasting said, she has experimented with the Middle Eastern thing before, both in music and PVs. (I never thought about it before it was mentioned, but yeah, vogue does have that Arabic thing going on... I don't think Duty does, though.) Only, every other time, it was INCREDIBLE..... And this is meh.

From the moment I heard it on the CM, I knew Don't Look Back would quickly become a favorite and it has! It's SO hot. I wish Ayu would belly dance to it LOL. I'm super interested in seeing how the PV will turn out though! From the pictures it doesn't look "Arabic/Indian" at all. Which is fine, it doesn't have to predictably follow the music.

Yeah they did, but don't look back sounds so much more modern. I think because it sounds like a drum machine is used which is common in electropop songs these days. Its a nice mix of traditional and modern. I'm really digging it <3

PV doesn't look like its going to be an arabic theme - but why does it have to be that way? I'd prefer to have a nice story to the video instead of something like INSPIRE which was made purely to fit the theme of the song.

I can't really compare Don't Look Back to Microphone, but I love them both. I love the arabic-esque arrangement and the melody is so catchy

(I'm predicting that for me R'n'R Circus would be like Secret -- in the sense that IMO the album tracks are much stronger than the single tracks)

LOL I couldn't resist and watched it.
It was weird and it would be story based but I was kinda wrong.

but the PV is cool
