What about BALLAD?

It's really a very short PV preview..
so i can't judge for more..
the scene that she sits in the living room with TV showing something..that part is interesting!
I hope it has the epicness like on don't look back..
simple yet mesmerizing!

Yeah, many members tought teh same about Microphone but honestly I prefered it much more than MOON/Sunrise/Sunset/BALLAD/even Don't look back at least I liked the alternative choice of carachters conquiring the scene.
In the others all the attention is focused on her figure and in the end nothing really happens to me...although she's gorgeous and so on i'm a little bit bored.

And i'm still waiting for a summer PV like fairyland and BLUE BIRD that never comes me sad

maybe the matchstick has the meaning about the time can not be stopped (life is slowly consumed by what we do) we can not go back, just look ahead...
I'd say it can symbolise something that takes place at the moment (for a short time) and is beautiful but will soon dissappear (like her carrier? her hearing? just a wild thought)

As far as I remember Microphone PV was well received but I also found it annoying, maybe if those random people were Japanese I would like it more, same goes for Sexy Little Things, I just don't feel it, and since those strange outfits are not my type I wasn't excited a bit.

It's strange that sometimes I don't enjoy PVs which seem to be well prepared (Sexy Little Things, Microphone) and there are lots of PVs that consist just of two locations, one or two outfits and still are outstanding (Rainbow, Is this love).

As for her recent PVs:
I like Ayu's 'acting' in MOON PV, I like how she looks, I get the message and I still find it boring.
I like Ayu's look in Sunset but I don't feel it.
I love Shuya in BALLAD PV, I like Ayu's look, I love the story and still when someone asks me about it I think it would be better without the fairy-pink-Ayu, I'd prefer more hospital scenese instead.
Don't Look Back was absolutely awesome. I'd add even more creepiness, but that's just me. MOON seems to be following the same idea but it doesn't work. As for crossroad PV, I have a feeling that even if it occurs to be just sitting PV it will be more like Don't Look Back / Is this LOVE? than MOON. Got no idea where my optimism comes from

she already lit a house on fire in fairyland...so she'd just be copying herself again first...then gaga.


lol anyway, I would like what SKYia said...another Don't Look Back or is this LOVE wouldnt be bad...

I don't really want another MOON....or anything like You Were...I'd prefer her to have some "live and active" sets...

^I have VLC player but I've never made screencaps... that's so weird. o_O But thanks for pointing out all the "symbolic" (I assume) stuff in the PV.

LOL

Yeah I agree with SKYia and emiko, Ayu's had PV's before where it was one setting and her in one outfit that turned out to be awesome and engaging so I hope crossroad will turn out like that... and really, I hope the L PV's don't follow the same pattern (doubt it, but who knows) I like colors, costumes changes and different settings and active concepts in my PV's lol.

She loves to step on fruits like in Free and Easy (poor grapes splashed to pulp) and she loves to blow up fruits like in is this LOVE?. Fruits are always active background in her videos

Don't know how about you but in my country there's a very famour fairytale called The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen. I'm not implying that there's a relation but it was actually my first thought

SKYia: well Hans Christian Andersen is well known I would say as we have become quite familiar with his popular tales in the US. Sort of like the brothers Grimm. Anyhow I don't remember the little Match Girl but now I must read it haha

hands down, it's absolutely amazing!

I love every little detail so far, she looks gorgeous in the tv, I like the idea of singing ayu in tv and the staring / spiritually absent ayu staring at the match, love the camera angles, love her dress and how she moves, love the black string on her hand.

Now I just wish it has at least some freaky / creepy / unexpected moment at the end

I'm sure there will be. MOON looked really boring in the preview (to me at least) and then all the awesome scenes were in the end so I have high hopes!

I also like it so far, Ayu looks so pretty and I love how she is watching herself in TV. And also I totally love the song, already more than MOON
