[Utada Hikaru] ʕ•̫͡•ʔ A Vacation for Only Two Hours in the 55th thread ʕ•̫͡•ʔ

^hmm how old are you if I may ask? Without offending you, Last Minute is a pretty amazing PV. "Boring" is a really unspecific critic younger people tend to use for things that "don't have much going on". I'd say Last minute captures the essence of the song and does not overshadow the actual thing - music and lyrics - and is very well executed. Same goes for this new Utada MV.

Wasn't Goodbye Happiness PV done in one shot?

[bluegie]

Oh I love the silliness of Goodbye Happiness (and it's directed by Utada Hikaru lol).

She should be a youtuber.

So was Hikari. In Goodbye Happiness she remaided sit for most of the video, and was out of camera for the whole bridge of the song. She also had people helping her through the video. For sure it's not easy, but it's also not as hard.

Not saying it was a bad video, I actually love it.

Ah, I get what you're saying I remember being really impressed by all of the teamwork and effort at the time, but Ayu did have to conjure up a much more emotional performance in her PV.

I'm 22, I'm not offended don't worry. If you want, I can write a pretty lenghty post about why I think Last minute is a very uninteresting PV. Considering this is Hikki's thread, and I don't care much about Ayu, I felt free to label it as "boring" and not extent myself on the subject, but I could've used many other adjetives.

The fact that a video doesn't have "a lot going on" does not necessarily mean that it will be boring or bad. Dogville is an amazing movie that one could describe as "not having much going on" and "incredibly slow paced".

Best of luck for Ayu in her future PVs.

It was also only her on a much larger space, what makes it easier to go wrong

But initially I was mostly comparing fandoms. Hikki's is willing to try understanding what was her intention (if it's japanese), Ayu's tend to bash her at first sight.

I thought the last minute music video was pretty powerful and was done nicely. The song itself saves it from being boring alone.
I thought Utada's new video was so nice. It feels kind of weird seeing her so grown up and mature, it really reminds me just how long she has been gone.
If I had to make a complaint I guess it would be the beginning with all the colorful fluid moving around. It fits the song sure but I found myself impatient for when something new would happen. It also reminds me a little bit of a Bjork video but only slightly.

The new PV is a damn snoozefest

[Maemi]

Can we expect another PV?

[AyuConcertinLosAngelesPlease]

I want a PV for "Ningyo" or "Michi" so bad.

I don't think so ... Her Father tweeted month ago about the "third PV" that will be done in December and i think this ist the final PV! The Album allready has 4 Music Videos ... 4 more than i expected

[Maemi]

That's a pity It's just that this is probably the last thing we'll get from her for some time so...

[Andrenekoi]

^I think we will get a new album in 2 years top.
