Thank you for the translation! The video is great. She looks amazing and the use of the drones did a fantastic job. I will watch it a lot for sure. The song itself is on a constant loop ^^ I love this era 🌞

Just like the video I imagined it to be! Love that there's no "story" in it, it's just enjoying summer and dancing a little on the beach - perfect for this song and perfect for the summer

I found the video very enjoyable, the song works better with it. I will definetely rewatch it.
One of the dancers looked like a snack. Liked the dancing. Cool costumes, Ayu's proving she's still the queen.
But for the love of God bring Timmy back! Such English is really embarassing! I'm sure he would have corrected her.

Woooowww okay okay! The song had to grow on me, but I like it. I don't love or live for it, like Nonfiction, but Summer Again is definelity good. She looks great in the PV, I really enjoyed that and it also helped me digging the song more. It's like Summer Love and INSPIRE had a little lovebaby, mixed the best of both worlds, old Ayu VS modern Ayu, and tadaaa! I am so excited this era and can't wait to check the forum daily for her album. Ayu is back and she is doing soooo well.

It’s a pity that the black hair scene was used for only awhile

Omg I thought this :/ either that or the dancers learned it in about 5 minutes… it doesn’t really suit the best of the song and it looks quite awkward, like they’re on stage rather than on a beach as well

it showed up for like 5 seconds lol

I watched the video, it's borring, works for the song i guess . I did like a few scenes visually, though, like the sunset ones, and her golden outfit, she looked great. I was a bit baffled by the blue one, what was the point of it at all? lol it's like they decided to cut it all out at the last minute or something. The video had potential, it could have been a second INSPIRE, but then i guess it would clash with the song, would have been a bit too grand for such a stale piece of music.

And here I am, naively hoping there is a secret part 2 to this Pv whereby the focus is on the black-haired Ayu and her cavemen-women, taking center stage. I just feel like there backstory to those cave scenes but nevertheless, I love the song and the Pv made it even better!

P/s: I need her diet plans and her personal trainers. She’s back to her prime days with that figure!

Her boobs are distracting tho.

PV is visually appealing, but only because the outfits are gimmicky
The song is still a less exciting You & Me and the PV a watered down inspire.
I still wished it was more like the latter in terms of sound.

okay, I really like the song and it will be the first ayu-song in years that I will have on repeat even though it could be a lot better, but I take what I get, damneet! XD
the Engrish is cringe, but I find myself singing along regardless. I am indeed happy to be enjoying this summer, so this song hits the spot :3

the PV is lackluster, but I also expected that... no matter how much ayu hypes her stuff, I always keep my expectations low to avoid disappointment (and that only works a little bit...).

I hope the next song is a continuation with dark hair ayu? why even bother with a whole second look (on the cover, no less) only to have it for a few seconds?

No concept, no story if they had a proper dance routine this PV could be more interesting. But she does look stunning in gold, the black wig part looked like a tease and not a good one.

Totally, why would they even bother to flim it? That’s super lame to show it just for 5 seconds.

Anyway, nice body ayu!!! Really went back in shape after giving birth twice.

I thought that edm bridge was a perfect opportunity for her to break out into a full dance choreography ala Real Me; would have been really cool for her to do that :3
