I really like this pv!
I like the four different characters.
This is now one of my fav pv's by her.
It's one of her best pv's compare to recent ones.
And I never knew that the guy is suppose to be her bf.
Tsk... I love the black coloured Ayu, suppose to be the dark side of her? Well, I like that the most. Probably because my favourite colour of clothes is black.

I LIKE THIS PV VERY MUCH!

I won't give any opinions because I think I don't understand ayu as "well" as you guys think. I just enjoy to watch the PV.

PS: This kind of topic sucks. Please don't try to think you understand ayu well,dudes.

like it!
The first time i watch it, i have not got too much feeling. Then, i do it for the 2nd time and it really rocks! I like the cute ayu the most. And especially when it is at 3:20, the four ayu said one, two, three, four from a synthetic voice!
This one is way better than Humming 7/4 or About You PV.
looking forward to is this love? and my name's women!!!!

I really love the director of "ourselves" and "Because of You" because the dark feelin' he always able to give out in Hamasaki Ayumi's PV. Honestly, i'd rather want him to direct the PV of "is this LOVE?" instead or "STEP you". I can see why Hamasaki Ayumi wanted him to direct "STEP you" too because "is this LOVE?" is made first then "STEP you". I guess so. This is a really easy PV because there's nut much space for other thoughts.

I believe that guy is her lover that only get to see many part of her. In the end, they're completed all together in Hamasaki Ayumi singin' in the rain. I guess, everyone know it simply. I dun't think i needna do much tolkin' 'bout it since sumeone already explin it. Plus, i really hate sume poeple comment that this PV is nuffin' much that's because they've look through them once only. You know who you're. So STEP YOU try to see it through a few more times! :o

I don't normally comment on ayu pvs, but this one I thought was greatly worthy of mention. Finally something that makes sense and is aesthetically pleasing, better than anything that was on the My Story DVD (Carols in particular was utter crap). Thumbs all the way up for this one.

i love this pv so much, it was a long time that ayu didn't surprised me !
i love this idea of different ayu, my favourite one is the shy ayu! very cute, i also like the posh ayu in black, it s so funny ! the background is really artisitc, it rocks!
it makes me love this song more !

^^; well, if you don´t like such topics, then be so kind and don´t read them ;) ...I didn´t open this topic just for the elite-group here of "understanding" Ayu PV-members :no

...it´s simply to share our thoughts on this new PV ^_^. I read them all until now and for me it´s very interesting! :yes ...everyone watches her music videos and so everyone has his interesting thoughts and opinions about, I really don´t think it sucks as you say :eyebrow

After watching the video I've come to the conclusion that the song still is not good. I thought maybe, just maybe, I would change my mind. I didn't.

This video looks as if they went back to the 'ourselves' and 'because of you' sets and mixed them together to form this. Its as if Ayu thinks that in order to have a rock video it has to have grossy grungy things in it and be dark.

A guy viewing Ayumi in a grungy setting (because of you)
Spinning on a big platform (because of you)
Using the beats of the song to mix with the video (because of you & ourselves)
The whole "i have many faces" thing (ourselves)

She looks cute in the outfits and her behavior in them, but the video is just so recycled. Ayumi lost her spark with this song and video.

This is such a great PV! It's very entertaining and I really like Ayu's looks in this PV (especially Ayu in the green dress). The idea behind it is simple but it works. All PVs doesn't have to have some kind of super intellegent plot..some times it's just good to make it simple and fun! Go Ayu! :yes

The first impression was pretty good... I guess I gotta watch it trough a couple of times and coment more then... Anyway the song's quite good actually.

COOL,CATCHY,CUTE AND I LUV IT! :D

The director for STEP you IS NOT the same director as Because of You & Ourselves. That is Tange Kouki. The director for STEP you is THE SAME as Moments & INSPIRE

I wonder who the director for is this LOVE?

Oh, get off your high horse. Everybody has a right to their opinions, and it's JUST A PV. Nobody claims to actually know her.

People need to chill about the PV
 

Interesting view! :)


and kotora: we are just giving OPINIONS and speculations as to what the PV might mean. None of us said 'hah I KNOW ayu wanted to tell us that there are 4 sides of her!!! i know it!' Chill. I've noticed you've been rather crude in some of the threads here. Don't click on the threads if you know you are going to be unhappy with them.

disapointing...

it remindes me of because of you video but it doens't come close to it

Gosh i really liked.... i was a loong time without liking a PV this way. Since Free and Easy i mean;

All the kinds of person we are are in there, even beeing the same, sometimes, our personalities do not live one with another, and discovering ourselves is still the biggest adventure.

The Ayu in the rain, for me, means the person wthou any problem inside hir/her soul. Its only life and the moment.

Welll..... loved it
