Aaaah, i loved this video!
I just don't know, the director made a great job, it fits the song very well.
I just take it how it is, an entertaining song with an entertaining PV.
It doesn't need a story all the time!
I just really like it (Ayu looks hot, new style, good dancing, but not like if it was a "Britney dancing" or something)

Totally agree with that :yes

britney's a fat cunty b i t c h compared to ayumi, HA

i still maintain that INSPIRE kicks hella ass

well after watch it for more couple of times ^^ I see that the art in the PV reminds me of Guggenheim (which is an art exhibition) n she mixed it up welll (I think very well absolutely perfect) with the plot of the lyric of inspire ^^... Its said that no one can live without love n I think the song reflects her past life (I agree with impact n BigJimmyC) (remember the part of a song for x x when theres a phrase "I was born lonely n Im going to continue living alone) now she realize that no one can live without love (remember UNITE! a song bout tomoya nagase's part in ayu's personal life!) ^^

I think that PV is rather cool! It has a fusion of orientalism and a lot of other arty elements in there! It's really very cool. There's this stark of colours, imagery of redness, passion etc.

Well, you can see, it's for an art exhibition. Ayu said so that she summed up the emotions she had while looking at the exhibition and tried to covey it through this song so yar, I think it's quite a good effort.

I'm seriously doubting the LA city though, seems really like a weird fusion of tastes! (So Americanized!) I don't really get what the heck the PV is trying to put across but I think that change is always good. I don't really know how I feel about this PV. It's cool but at the same time, I think I need time to adjust to this new feel that Ayumi is grasping.

Well, to sum it up, I think we should always keep in mind that elements in the MTV are well, mostly by the director of the MTV! I still like Ayumi with her image, I guess we'll have to wait for Ayu's own comment on her video!

Overall, it's still a good video. Though not as good as her other videos but I still think it's a refreshing episode in Ayu's career. But I think yar, probably the change is sorta too drastic for me to handle at the moment. I think it's going downhill rather than uphill ...

INSPIRE GOT TWO :thumbsup :thumbsup from me.



ayumaria.

PV to "INSPIRE" isn't bed but isn't also nothing special. This is typical video for female artists (beautifull scenery + mostly dance) but this type of videos isn't typical for AYU (who's dance rarely). She don't released much PV like this - PV for "Greatful days" was last so... I think that if AYU choose this type of video from time to time we should fun this videos even if we don't like them so much like her other PV's. Everyone of us likes something different on Ayumi's artist work - for ones her new video will be 'great' for others 'not bed' and for rest 'bed'... In my opinion "INSPIRE" is good song (but I like "GAME" much) and PV is not too bad (but can be better)...

i absolutely love it!! it was sooooooo colorful & lively perfect for the art exhibition. im buying the cd+dvd version for sure so i can see all the colors & everything nice & clear!! gooo ayuuuuuuu!! hehe

I dislike the pv! Ayu is still beautiful and all, but her facial expressions are awkward. Like with her mouth opening wide, and her eyes opening REALLY wide!
It's like she's trying to accent her eyes too much, and it becomes scary.
Does anybody else think that recently, when she's singing, she's unatural looking?

i think its cuz the quality sux...the pixels are liek..a centimeter large..-__-"

I like the 'all life is art' theme to the PV. Ayu looks at the picture, and sees all this art. The art she sees all fits in with the kind of things you'd see in the Guggenheim exhibition, and at the end a man passes her, and she saw him in her 'art' daydream, and he passes someone else from it, etc. On the whole, a creative PV, tying in with the exhibition and the lyrics. The only thing that lowers the classy look of the whole thing is the dancing in the waves/red dress/pop tart scene - without that it would be much better. It's just too mainstream, and doesn't fit in with the whole 'art' theme.

i thought the pv was REALLY bad...
song was good though

I like it. :yes A lot.

That's all I'm saying, because I don't feel like getting into an argument over its wonderful-ness with anyone today. :)

after seeing the PV more. i do see an art resemblence.
the dance itself is art if you see what i mean.
it's like a culture reference.

I love the PV.

I think the PV is okay , just one bad detail . maybe it's just me but i think she looks like crap when she dances on the beach , that weird lipstick and hair thing. and i don't think those sort of dance moves fit ayu , in my opinion you'd need someone with more sex appeal to pull those sort of moves and look good . someone like britney , lol :P

OMG people moving in synchronization ahhhh LOL joking. :rolleyes
What the hell is wrong with her dancing????? It is not like they show her doing it a lot. The Thai/Indian look to the video was awesome. I loved that. The men were cool too. :spinning Hey, I don't mind some good lookin shirtless men! She is a grown woman not a teenager, so if she wants some eye candy then I say go for it.

I loved the look of the video and the dancing, even if she isn't the best dancer. She is not going to turn into Boa and dance the whole time. That is why they only showed her a few times.

Ayu has reinvented her image many times this is just one of her many faces, I don't see the big deal.

this PV is stupid, those who like it are only making excuses for her. Someone's trash is anothers treasure, but it's still trash to the first person :yes

PS. she's officially gone from "she sucks" to "she's a skank" in my book

I think I agree with what Afanforxx said...:P

hahaha. she looks like a flapper! (someone int he 20's?)

in the words of my beloved trina:

"F UCK ALL Y'ALL HATERRRRSSSS"

haha.

it had to be said. ayumi is amazing, this is not changing, GAME rocks too, no need to worry.

<3 AYU 2004 <3
