Well, that sure is really UGH to my appearance standards... :thud

Did someone just say "down as usual...?"

Sales went up after S/S.

You mean the single sales. Ok, sorry then. ;)
I still think this "short version" won't make any miracle.

edit: I just understood your post -_-
Well, S/S has done not as good as the other singles, but her sales are still declining, that was my point. She sure has "miss" and "hits".

^Well, they're still getting #1 every time, so it's reasonable to say that they're relative hits.

Of course! I think she is doing very well as regards sales and won't say the contrary.

Sunrise was her highest selling chaku uta since Together When... so I'd wager that the Japanese public did like it a bit.

It's a bit weird that popular tracks on chaku uta doesn't seem to do all that well physically, but eh. That's how things work, I guess.

I think ill just wait for the full version lol. i have teasers!!!!

So I finally got to watch this... and yeah, it definitely had a "Moments" feel to it, but I mean... what's the story? I guess that's what the "to be continued" is all about. I'm very intrigued though to see where the story goes!

It appears as though the story of the PV...

^ That's really possible :yes

i feel that's very bloody and cruel, ripped fingernails :thud

I want to see the whole thing!! It's like leaving me on a cliffhanger! When will the full version air?
I really like where the PV is going so far. :)

i don't think it will be broadcasted until the single is release.1 week to go,and we will have the DVD rip XD

It's a short version of the full PV...do you expect them to give everything away in a short version? What would be the point?
And as for that whole GAGA glasses thing with the ink on Ayu's face...really? I don't think that is the first thing I would have jumped to, but I do know that some obsessed GAGA fans will go to great lengths to prove their point, even if it has no validity. If anything Ayu in Sparkle was more like GAGA's The Fame cover.

Oh, I'm sorry, did Ayu offend your delicate sensitivities?

It looks bloody amazing.

Omg i wanna watch the full MOON PV already it looks so amazing!!!

holy --------------!!!!!!! wow i missed a lot... ayu looks HOT covered in ink guys and idk why everyone says it's boring...geez it's not like a ballad pv is going to have action scenes or something... a pv can take place in one room and still be amazing. you could look at HEAVEN, which is a very deep pv but ayu stands in the same spot the entire time. or BALLAD, where ayu is just sitting in the meadow with flashbacks to the motorcycle, and how is that any different? or You were... , where she's just standing in the same spot the whole time. but i digress. we're not talking about HEAVEN or You were... , we're talking about MOON. i don't mean to sound rude or anything, just stating my opinion... i just think everyone sets their standards too high. (although i still don't know why anyone's making judgements now, when we haven't even seen the entire pv) this looks very interesting, and of course ayu looks beautiful. i'm really interested to find out why she's covered in ink (:luv2), what part her dog plays, and why her fingernails are bandaged. this is so promising; i'm so freaking excited (and you all should be, too! jk :P)

Well then I can't wait until next week when I get to see the entire PV. I already know it's going to be awesome. :)

That's not necessarily true. Just like here, there are some who will think it is interesting because they look beyond what she is or is not doing. Others will find it boring as well. But at any rate, releasing the "interesting part" or possibly the "twist" could spoil any reason to anticipate the full PV. It's like seeing a movie trailer that tells you everything that happens in the movie, why pay $10 to see it? :shrug

hmm seems like that was how I thought it might be...and my dog passed away only 2 weeks ago..i can sympathize that feeling so much
