Thoughts on Crossroad PV / preview

I love the cm preview and there's not even one topic where I can write my thoughts so let me just make this one :]

I already love the PV (after 15 secs, it's crazy but those 15 secs are better than the whole MOON PV and many other of her recent PVs). She has great clothes and hair (little too wiggy and AT07 style / momentum style but I like it much much more than her short curly from MOON PV, etc).

The background is quite enigmatic, reminds me of Next Level album cover and Alterna PV ending. The whole gives me an impression of Momentum PV (the match, the hair, the atmosphere).

In the beginning we see picture transition just like in that short Powder Snow CM / PV long time ago. Also you probably see she has this small black tape on her hand which may mean something, but even if not, it gives me a very old style, Ayu-like feeling.

In the scene where the covers are shown be see Ayu from the behind in from of the TV, it gives me such a strange Ring movie feeling, as if Kumi was about to come out of the TV screeming "you won't get no.1 this time" XD

I hope at least some of you support my excitement, it the first time since ages (maybe except Don't Look Back PV) that I cannot wait for something simply after watching such a short trailer (even though there's hardly anything going on in it, but looks promising to me)

To download the preview go here :]

thought on SUCH a short part of the PV? lol! Why is there no "though of the font used for the letter "L" on Ayu's 50th single"-thread?.

Oh and for a PS.. Yes it seems nice..ish... kinda boring.. but I guess the full version can be more interesting.. (CAN be... look at moon. that wasn't very interesting =))

i actually think it looks a whole lot like the PVs for Don't Look Back and Moon, which themselves were very similar to each other in some ways.

but i definitely see some of the weird little touches in this PV that will make it great (i hope)!

That's what I'm happy about, those little touches can change the PV.

In my opinion MOON pv didn't have those. You may concider the liquid on her head as one but to me that was all. I have a good feeling, even after just 15 secs I'm super optimistic :]

I think the preview looks awsome, i can't wait for the whole pv.

only one thing, the wig, if it had more volume or something her had would have that weird look for me. now with the flat wig her had looks weird.

LOL

I like the preview, what blew me off is her hair style and make up. About the scenario it reminded me of MOON and momentum and JEWEL.

me too! and i agree. i loved the black ink/oil part of the moon PV, but it wasn't enough to save the PV. it deserved a weirder PV.

i feel good about this one though!

nothing really happens except for ayu lighting a match, lol. but i do like her outfit, hair, and those TV screens in the background. that's all i can say from just a 15 sec. preview. hopefully it's better in full.

She DOES look really weird in that one shot! Hopefully that's just a freak incident, it looks otherwise really interesting.

She should be careful with matches, she looks flammable in that shot

Can't hardly tell from 2 cadres of 15seconds cm, which pv includes maybe halth of whole video.

But her face looks weird, a little bit too much make up, foundation. But her hair are gorgeous. Too bad they are not lighter or darker, im tired of this a little red blonde.

But as someone said, i think it will come to be boring pv like Dlb or Moon but with a little weirdness/creepyness that will make the pv cooler

Her face is strange but it makes me think of either the expression of a person who lost senses (she smiles but she doesn't look happy) and is now staring at the fire as if it was the last beautiful and warm thing left in the world, ...or the expression of person who is blissful (in happiness, maybe in blissful ignorance of sth), but the dark background does not add a happy feeling to the scene.
