Sweet scar (YouTube Short ver.)
 

AyUmIXx 26th November 2012 12:34 PM

OMGG she looks so gorgeous <3

Linza-mo 26th November 2012 12:40 PM

She was amazing, Sweet scar is really a beautiful song but... it's boring :(

(I want PV likes BALLAD or alterna ;__; )

LeeLeeNeko 26th November 2012 12:43 PM

^ I also hate simple & boring PVs (like the ones for "LOVE"...) but this one looks surprisingly great. She's gorgeous and the atmosphere totally fits the song, I love it so far. :)

tokyoxjapanxfan 26th November 2012 12:44 PM

The filmography is so good! I love the details with the lighting! Granted it's not a fantasy video, I feel it matches the song so far. Plus she looks really pretty.

brener 26th November 2012 12:58 PM

What was she doing before the chorus? Kinda embarrassing to look at haha.

Yoake 26th November 2012 01:20 PM

Ayu is so cute in this pv.
Simple but really nice.

yamadashun 26th November 2012 01:27 PM

she is so gorgeous in this style/hair!

hope she is not bringing the pot of tea to serve Maro o_0

Delicious n Bold 26th November 2012 01:29 PM

What I don't even.
So boring...
Song is good though.
Ayu... Just release photobooks instead of PVs. Please. Enough of these boring PVs.

sitara 26th November 2012 01:38 PM

yaaaaaawn...

from what we have seen now, i doubt this pv will get any more interesting or will have any surprises in it. probably it was shot in only 1 scene.

elvis810 26th November 2012 01:39 PM

Her mouth in the first 30 secs looks ugly... The infamous fish lips

stivenoto 26th November 2012 01:52 PM

Sweet scar is a good song...

But i want the PV like part of me..

Foyuki 26th November 2012 01:55 PM

hmmmmmm we wanna see Wake me up and snowy kiss :/

TeamAyu2004 26th November 2012 03:19 PM

loving this song and love the PV so far...
I wonder if Maro will appear at the end...
I say you singing to the plant I gave you. :wink
lol

jbrat2219 26th November 2012 03:29 PM

She looks beautiful! I kind of like the PV so far.

xLuna&1LOVE 26th November 2012 03:34 PM

About time. I actually do like the simplicity of this video. Sure, it won't be something I would like to watch over and over, as in some pretty high budget videos, but she does look nice and I don't really mind that nothing is really going on. It's only distracting anyway.

I totally agree. Plus, nothing ever really happens in most of her PVs. Fans just get distracted by the flashiness. This song doesn't call for a grandiose PV anyway.

truehappiness 26th November 2012 06:08 PM

Beautiful. But as expected, people are going to think it's boring. Poor Wataru....

AyuHamasaki01 26th November 2012 06:20 PM

She looks absolutely gorgeous :heart

ayujarl 26th November 2012 06:23 PM

sweet
but I want some dance and actions from Ayu :p maybe the next PV

ayu-marco 26th November 2012 06:52 PM

I like this PV so much :)
nice song + beautiful ayu

hidekirby 26th November 2012 07:36 PM

Seems nice so far.
I'm still in love with the song and I absolutely love long takes! It fascinates me.

owlflight 26th November 2012 07:43 PM

I love the way her hair is styled!

BluishDays 26th November 2012 08:42 PM

The pv looks nice; Ayu looks beautiful ^-^ and of course since it's first preview I was loving the song :)

adantatu2 27th November 2012 01:16 AM

The full PV is probably ayu walking in the house.
At least she looks gorgeous

Kazeyomi 27th November 2012 01:34 AM

I'll won't judge it so early. But I don't have high expectations for something happening neither.
It's a really good looking PV though. She's gorgeous, also the colors are bright and natural. This is a true HQ PV, compared especially to Party Queen awful PVs imo.

If it will turn into another boring PV at least will be extremely pleasing to watch.

Pieces_of_SEVEN 27th November 2012 01:39 AM

Yeah, she looks gorgeous, as always...OK, what else? :/

She has the director of tons of Ayu classics, Wataru Takeishi working on this! It's like... no wonder it looks great! I wonder if he has input with concepts (or any directors really) or if that is still all Ayu.

OMG she's absolutely beautiful in this PV, nothing to look at other than her beauty:))

Pieces_of_SEVEN 27th November 2012 02:16 AM

^I feel like that's how her last ten PVs have been! Ever since, what, MOON?

kendelle 27th November 2012 02:33 AM

She looks really beautiful, you can't deny that. I love her dressed down look.

That said, this is kind of repetitive as she's again not really doing anything, so it's kind of boring despite how lovely she looks. I hope the end of the PV has something interesting, maybe the other half of the room has something really dark themed in it? Maybe my hopes are too high xD Walls covered in blood? Maybe a war going on outside her house? Maro locked in a cage??? lol

Her lipsynching in this feels weird, like her voice doesn't match the look in the PV. I feel like she'd be better off not singing along and just going about her business.

I am still looking forward to the full version though.

HEAVEN~Destiny~ 27th November 2012 03:14 AM

Did you guys see? The short version came out with English subtitles!

There's also Chinese subs as well! It seems like they did it for Missing and Song 4 u too!

Kogepan_19 27th November 2012 03:19 AM

The atmosphere of the PV is definitely fitting for the mood of the song. I love it. Nothing too extravagant which I believe the PVs for the other songs would entail.

Pieces_of_SEVEN 27th November 2012 03:28 AM

I love that there are subtitles!!

Tony G 27th November 2012 12:26 PM

Loving the song! wow. Already struck a chord with me.

And the PV is looking promising as well. I really enjoyed watching that, was not boring at all.

Anyone notice the very welcome lack of any winter theme with the covers, PVs? This video feels very spring/summery. Was starting to get sick of her december releases having a snow or winter theme.

yeah i agree... she looks so awkward just looking at some plants to kill screentime... :/

Srly... she looks pretty but this is a really lame video. You can do MUCH MUCH MUCH better also with low-budget and one-shot videos... :rolleyes

jewelbox 27th November 2012 01:39 PM

I reeaaaallly like her voice in this song

SpiceSquad! 27th November 2012 06:59 PM

its fit to the song..

asagarichan 27th November 2012 07:17 PM

thanks!

Zeke. 27th November 2012 07:19 PM

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)

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...Untitled-2.jpg

http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/b...titled-1-1.jpg

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.

Corvina 27th November 2012 07:48 PM

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.

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.

Zeke. 27th November 2012 11:27 PM

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.

MeyChan 27th November 2012 11:45 PM

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.

jang-kun 29th November 2012 06:19 AM

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

truehappiness 29th November 2012 06:25 AM

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.

jang-kun 29th November 2012 06:35 AM

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

blackmage 29th November 2012 07:42 AM

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

susiowong 30th November 2012 08:49 PM

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