I share of lot of similar opinions with people- a great idea that ended up not really evolving as the video went on. I wish we had got to see more but ayu thrashing around was interesting at least

I eventually have really mixed feelings towards this PV.
I absolutely LOVE its simplicity. No tacky stuff, no bad editing, no stupid acting... I am one of the few who like PVs à la Daybreak... Yet I don't really know if this PV would have benefited from more staging, or on the contrary, from more simplicity? I mean it could have been good to have another setting, something that contrasts with the one we have ; while I'm not sure the black ayu, the chair, were necessary, and you can take the exact opposite direction and do something even more simple. Just ayu in front of the camera (no other angles) with the swinging light (like 3/4 of the actual PV) would have worked. I don't know I feel it's not complete and cohesive in its actual form. The ending may solve this problem. I'm really glad we had this video though. It's creative, a bit edgy, really unique in her videography! This last quality means a lot to me. Good job! Best PV on this album (hands down) and best PV in a while IMO. Last edited by hidekirby; 26th March 2015 at 04:08 AM. |

And Janelle... well, I can't think of a single thing Janelle has done that I thought was interesting. I watched the video and the read the lyrics, and I think that video is intended to just be her without any props or fancy editing because the lyrics talk quite candidly about her feeling put down and told she's not good enough the way she is. (I think it has to do with her being black?) But I honestly can't take her seriously. She is, and I don't intend this to be offensive if you're a fan, but she is quite brutally just another neo-soul/old school singer, and those singers were already a dime a dozen before she debuted. Hell, the UK got Paloma Faith just months before Janelle showed up, and this was only a year or so after Adele and Amy Winehouse showed up and a year after Joss Stone hit #2 on the Billboard with her third first album (because every new Joss Stone record is somehow her new debut... over it.) I think this would be a reasonably okay video if Ayu weren't singing a song about what's happening between her and another person... to another person. I could see if this were like a "curtain call" type of song, something heartfelt directed to the fans, but these lyrics are actually quite a bit more detailed than The GIFT, the production is honestly better developed as well. And the The GIFT is the PV that clearly got the money to tell a story. Quote:
I, personally, would've spent the entire budget for this PV on hiring a real drummer for this track, so it didn't sound like synth drums compared to the rest of the rock tracks on the album. I don't want this to start a trend that later results in Ayumi filming PVs in the bathroom because she can reasonably take a %@#$ and work at the same time. I don't care how pretty her dress is at that point, I'm over it. |

it's definitely Last minute decision to make this PV lol.
it's so simple but at least ayu is gorgeous in the red dress, glad that she didn't wear the same anation n CDL dress again.. she looks so amazingly beautiful even though she moved like madddd in certain parts lol.. but that's her raw emotions.. i like the concept of the PV, it's definitely something different but yeah it could have been better with more of black vs red ayu moments.. how she struggles herself out from the black ayu that has conquered her all this time.. but yeah.. my fave PV are still The Gift and Zutto... |

HOLY CRAP THIS IS THE AYUMI THAT I LOVE!!
WELCOME BACK AYUMI! This mv gives me the vibe of Memorial address arena tour 03-04 I thought more people would like this mv more than warning. I'm guessing people like to see ayumi awkwardly trying to be sexy with no emotions. Last Minute is so raw with some emotions showing. I love it. WAY MORE |

Pretty much just her performing the song without a mic and alternate lighting.

I love this. More of this style of PVs than, say, "WARNING".
I love her extravagant videos as much as the next person, but this is, like someone mentioned earlier, art. |

There's such a difference IMO between something like this and say, decision.

Loved it! At first, when the rock part started and nothing outstanding happened, I felt a little disappointed, but after watching the whole thing I get why she decided to make such a simplistic music video, t conveys the emotions pretty well, especially by the end when she's "crying".
Of course they didn't expend a lot of yen shooting this PV but it DOES NOT look cheap, which I appreciate. I think for me it is: Last minute = WARNING > The GIFT > Zutto... |

I think this is the most vulnerable we've ever seen Ayu in a PV.

I love the PV, yes it is boring in general but it was artistic. And it is the kind of PV I would expect from a deeply personal song. She looks perfect and the dress is gorgeous!
But I think they can do a bit more about it, maybe adding another dress lol |

I'd be surprised if tasuku didn't push for a drummer originally... but who knows what happened behind the scenes.

Not decision litterally the performance of this song that we've already seen in the past tour. Its pretty much the same. As well as memorial address cause the two of those are also similar. Love this song though and the performance just its all similar.

I think anything else would have ruined the 'image' of the song. To me, I think if she did a Memorial address PV, it would be extremely similar to the lives like this, but maybe a bit more budget with that room in the album art.

And all of my hopes of getting this song remastered better is gone :< Too bad, the guitar sounds too raw and yes, the drum sound is so lacking.
I agree, if Memorial address ever got a PV it'll went sth like this. |
