If the song end at 3:21 then would be perfect (in my opinion), the finishing piano part weird to me.

Since when Ayu has Kim Kardashian butt? lol
Okay, the song I enjoy most at intro and outro, other than that it's not that good. Her vocal was okay but at some part I lost her. The video was beautiful, simple hair and makeup and hair piece. Her wedding dress is beautiful, I love the embroidery even the fact that the dress was long sleeve. The Victorian petticoat though, a bit too much. The backgrounds pretty simple, divine and calm. Overall, pretty.

She looks pretty but it is a bit boring, Virgin Road is how all wedding PVs should be done haha. It's still better than all the Colours PVs though.

I like the song when it gets going but then it feels like it drags on a bit.

^Didn't we got something similar on RnRC 7 days final tour ?
How more grandeur can that be but not to look like already seen and cheesy ?

Wished there's actually more interaction between them. And a storyline instead of Ayu just singing. lol.

^^lol i totally didn't realise they had to speed the actual song to film this in slo-mo, that just slipped my mind lol
also they seem to have not used that bit in front of the window in the final cut.

i might get killed for it but Ayu and him would make such a cute couple lol

I gave up on her PVs having plot long time ago:-) Most of her videos can be described very easily: she's singing and she's looking pretty:-)
I like how this music video turned out, it's beautiful. I find the part with JJ mouthing the words unnecessary though.

I LOVE THIS SONG EVEN BEFORE THE MV CAME OUT.

It's simple. I play this song every morning and it gives me good vibes all the time. I'm pretty impressed with how they made the lighting look like dawn cause that's really how I picture this song in my mind.

Sometimes I just want to see effortless mvs from Ayu. That way I don't have any expectations.

I agree with some people here that JJ should not have mouthed the words and Ayu shouldn't be sitting like that on the table but other than that, I am very satisfied. I now forgive Feel The Love MV XD

The song is going to have to grow on me a bit. But over all I am very satisfied with the song and PV. Her vocals I think are the best of her career so far, just wow!

Well has already married someone (not asian though) a year ago now, i'm saying that because it seems like you don't know about it.

Spoiler:
And if you do know that she's already married then you're being rude af

Beautiful video & lovely song. However, I don't see myself re-watching the video or playing the song on repeat. I really like her vocal tho, I think she did a great job.
