you know , if it was not mentioned about the Shiawase no Hakari PV being flimed using the camera function from handphones , I wouldn't have known about it :O

as I find the quality quite OK/decent

Maybe the other 2 PVs are more higher in budget which explained this decision to flim Shiawase no Hakari in this manner ? :O

i agree. for a cellphone-filmed PV, it looks so beautiful! i never would have realized if you guys never mentioned it, lol.

Yes it's quite a good quality video from a handphone. I guess they used some ultra-modern cell phones with the best specs. As far as I know Japanese phones are much more advanced than their western counterparts. I wonder if avex will try this with other artists?


Well hopefully this doesn't mean that the other two videos will be low budget too...I really really hope the other two were so expensive that they couldn't afford to do another big pv. I always enjoyed that GND got high budget videos :P

However Freedom seemed to be on a budget too... lately avex doesn't seem to be spending a lot on GND. We'll have to wait and see.

O.o gné? the pv is filmed with a cellphone? Wow the quality is nice. But I would prefer they take an normal camera to film something better.

Anyways I hope that the others pv will be better.

i can't believe it, i want that cellphone!!
The song is calm and i like it

it's & also you can do so many cool things with Japanese handphones somemore

yeah you see their PVs like Guzen no Karuritsu , Jounetsu no Daishou , Seeds of dream , Be your wings

I'm not sure why lately avex has been spending less on GND . I sure hope they wouldn't get dropped X_X

I'm pretty sure it's because they're trying to sell ICONIQ now, so GND's budget has gone down.

They wouldn't drop them, but I don't think we should expect PVs like they used to have--at least all the time.

:( but GND is 100x better than iconiq for me.

I don't think avex usually drops artists... what they usually do is drop their budget and give them sub-standard material to work with. Happened with artists like Ami Suzuki and Hitomi Shimatani who seem to be constantly on a budget and rarely release anything. I sure hope it won't happen with GND :no

It's a shame though... when GND had a good budget they would pass the 30k mark which isn't bad with the current industry...

Shiawase no Hakari is pretty :)

^ right?! XD

I can't wait for the full thing!

Chisa mentioned on Twitter that she is really excited for the next PV! So I hope that means some great things!! :D
