[jasjasss]

its like a modern traditional song



tHIS song is like so much better than every SECRET songs !
btw
its so freaky to see her hair grow
and too many bugs !

[SunshineSlayer]

I absolutely LOVE this PV. The best by this director so far - it certainly tops most of the PVs from last year.

This video has a lot to analyze in it but that will have to wait cause I'm late for class!

[Tasked]

OMG the beginning. it reminds me of Haru yo, Koi.. Beatiful!! beautiful!.. And yeah; the director never made something this good before =).. I really like it!! the effects are great and the song is great too!!

And. blonde hair = a witch? yeah? and I loove it xD

[chocopockymaster]

ZOMGZ! My hair-do fell out, now I must die! And then my hair will continue to grow!

I was pretty disappointed after the first watch. Ayu looked really old with that blonde hair when she was in the pink kimono. Lots of eye candy, though. Guess I'll have to go watch it more...I don't think there's anything special about the song, either. *sigh*

Edit: I would never call this the best he's ever done, nothing tops 'momentum' for me.

[the angel song]

I loved the colors, the imagery, and the special effects! The director didn't overdo them like in "Startin'", so in this video, they were very cohesive. I know the meaning has to do with reincarnation and how death is just a part of life...but it's obvious there's more to going on with the other aspects of it. I bet someone will put this video to "Will", since the song style fits it much better.

Beautiful pv. I wish the videos on "Secret" were this nice.

And I'm late for bed. *gg*

Just kidding. In Austria it's 8 pm while I'm typing this. *gg*

It's indeed her best PV since....since....since a long time.

Let's start with the colour choice and the costumes:

Red suits her really good. Remember that red-ish kimono in tsuki-ni-shizumu and the voyage pv and also the ayu-mix CM? The day I heard WILL for the first time, a red-ish PV had come to my mind. I was so disappointed that she hasn't mad a PV for that great song.

Red is her colour, period.
------------------------

AYU could be in her old days a good enka singer. She has the voice and also the look in a kimono for that. The costumes are really well made. Maybe a little to colourish but thats not worth to mention. Since I'm not so good in japanese history I can't say from which period the costumes are but the look very authentic.
-------------------------
-------------------------

The story for this PV was about the limit. She touched my heart once more. The whole dying and reincarnating story was beyond anything I had in my mind. Don't get me wrong but the scene when she dies was well done.... and heartbreaking of course.

Maybe she's telling us that A-BEST 2 is the end of an ERA and a new ERA is about to begin. This sentence has been floating in my mind since the day I heard something about A-BEST 2 but now it's official. There is also the possibility that she's about to end her career for a while to concentrate on other things but I doubt that. (You'll never know before she hasn't finished her asia tour.)
--------------------------
so that's it for now. waitin to see more comments to discuss specific scenes.

and yes ... it's shuya

[blahh]

OMFG. I absolutely LOVE it!!! This was soo much better than what I expected. ^0^!!!

[SnowDrop]

It was okay. It was beautiful, the special effects were nice. And I liked the plot (and the fact that there actually was a plot).

I just don't think that the video followed the pace of the song well enough. And I don't really like the song. I'm getting tierd of these type of ballads now..they all have the similar structure, similar arrangements, similar lyrics...It's killing me. What she she needs is a new fresh sound!

[Kaiouforever]

It looks like maybe it's based off a story?

Anyway, this is one of my favorite Ayu videos and songs to date. She really pulled through with this one, I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes...

Ayu will forever be my idol, no matter how much she sells...as long as she makes things like this.

[Raiu-Ayu]

I actually really like this PV although a song this good deserves something better.

The bit where she died then her hair started to grow kinda creeped me out a little X_X Really; what was the damn point of that!?

Finally we get ayu in a kimono for a PV rather than a CM. I actually like her hair in this one. Her look reminds me of Hatsumomo from Memoirs of a Geisha when she wasn't out entertaining

[Sim']

I LOVE IT!
I LOVE THE SONG!
I LOVE THE PV <3~

The song is WOW~ A mix of 'Will' and 'walking proud' *-*
It's so Wonderful, so 'Beautiful' that you can see that again and again in a row =33
Every exceptionnal, the most well-structed for me since Ladies Night personnally *0*

I LOVE the beauty aspect of the PV, the colors, and the cycle of life =3
Ayu is SO GORGEOUS on the PV *kills himself*
BEST work of Takahide Ishii since he joined Ayu's PVs =3333

[elvis810]

Wow, it's totally out of my expectation. She once again pulled it off with a new idea and style in her PV. Well, let's say, the director is able to show a variety of PV genre. Overall, I like it and the story is really thought-provoking, that's why i like her pv. It's classical and enlightening

[JinHamasaki]

This was GREAT. I am excited, I'll be in Japan when they are still promoting the album, woo-hoo!!

I really love the whole feel of the pv, it sent shivers up my spine!

[HanabiChick]

It's a very beautiful PV, and I like the full version of the song. It's quite a sad PV, and the song itself seems to have a touch of sadness too. It's the second time in recent months that Ayu has had a PV that deals with death, very interesting.

I'm posting it on youtube now.

[namiie]

I absolutely love it. I really like it when Ayu shows how soft and delicate her voice can be, and her vibrato was actually very good with this song--the vocal style reminds of me of "Will"

Usually when we have these threads it's to discuss the PV freely, so people don't use spoilers - generally people would use spoilers in other parts of the forum. Youtube links are usually posted in the download section and not in the discussion threads

[Sakura_Genki]

I have but one word to describe this PV. Beautiful.

[Kikaru]

It reminds me of a creation story from a mythology that I can't really remember...where somebody dies and plants sprung up from the body.

The use of colors is interesting, especially since we tend to associate red and pink as "happy colors", yet in this PV they're associated with death.
