its fit to the song..

thanks!

Her facial expressions do NOT fit the mood of the song. It's like she's trying too hard and she has that 'cutesy' look like "who me?" at a certain point/parts in the PV and it just looks ridiculous with this song. (You know that look with slanted eyebrows, lifting in the middle and slightly pursed lips)

I also agree the PV would flow better if she was not singing at all. It seems like like a soundtrack telling a story rather than her singing this song in the present setting. And I wish during the chorus there were flashbacks or something instead, showing what she is thinking about/re-calling in her mind.

Well, I do hope there'll happening something else in the PV as well, but I really like that it's a one shot PV so far! Always had a soft spot for those!
And the song is just beautiful, that piano!

To me, it looks like that's just how her face is. I'd rather she look 'normal' than look like she's angry or force some kind of sad emotion throughout the entire PV on top of trying to not mess up the one shot-deal they had going on.

She did pulled off emotion amazingly well in is this love

Yeah. I've noticed Ayu making that face a lot in off shots and stuff- I think it's just something she does without really noticing.

I think is this LOVE? had the exact same face as in Sweet scar's PV when she's not singing in the few scenes that she's not moving her lips since she's basically singing in the entire video.


"Slightly pursed lips with a "I'm cute"-ish look in her eyes"

Though I always felt like her vibe for the PV was "I'm so emotionless" with a blank face... which is the look you describe.

I don't see it in "is this love?" I think she has a look of absolute devastation/hopeless heartbreak in that video. Dead on with the song.

Are you serious? She's not a freaking professional actor, and you haven't even seen the end of the clip to know the result/purpose of why Ayu is acting the way she is. This has to be one of the most ridiculous Ayu critisisms I have ever seen on this forum.

That's what I think.

Hmmm... In the other hand "Is this love" is more depressant, "Sweet Scar" is more... melancholic. She is like remembering good things..hm?
It's not the same feeling, so... she doesn't have to act in the same way imo.

Lol, I'm just saying it takes away from the PV not saying I'm infuriated over it. It's just kind of annoying that she always makes that face more often now.
You are right. I just feel like her acting used to seem more believable I suppose.

i think it'll be super cool if ayu reveals it's actually her home in the video. :love

It could be. It's possible she actually did buy a home in LA from that real estate broker she's friends with and that's what we're seeing! (Also it would explain why she had no contact with fans in LA... because she doesn't want people to know where her house is)

I believe there's a pamphlet saying that they filmed all the PVs for this release overseas.

she did? that's wow. and to think that it doesn't look like a set or sth from the magazine scans. well who knows?

but seriously, i miss the one shot pvs. HEAVEN and Curtain Call definitely killed me. :luv2

I like the quality of the video, but it feels so slow. I think she looks great (especially her hair style), but until the full version is available to view, its a pretty boring concept. :\

I got the idea watching that it was shot in LA.. The atmosphere and house she is in, feels like L.A. LOL

PV meh. Song is beautiful. I'm looking forward to a mini album for once.
