ENJOY~~~ <3 <3 <3

More of the same that is in the short version. Good to hear the rest of the song. I'm pleased with what I saw and heard, haha.

Oh wow, it aired on Space Shower TV!

http://www.spaceshowertv.com/search/...cgi?mu=0107466

No director information.

The song seems so short... I don't want it to end!

^ I agree! I wanted more! Maybe that was their intention haha

The song is the perfect length, imo.

It was really dumb how they bothered to upload a "short version" to youtube, however. Avex kinda needs to get over themselves.

Well...
What is the purpose of Short ver. PV? (If it's just going to be on and on and on and on)

No twist, clue, or whatsoever. What a waste. The song is great though.
Totally agree.

I prefer Lady Dynamite or Because of You PV.

maybe it's directed by Ayu team again...

So the video won't work for me. Is it something that I'm missing?

Held some hope there would be more to the P/V than the short version (I know, I know), but basically its just the same. I really enjoy the song more so after hearing it fully.

A little disappointed that the cute guy wasn't featured more... The guy with the red hair next to Ayu serious gives bad face throughout the whole P/V, too distracting from Ayu! :S

^^no that website is just a total douchbag... i hate it.

lol funny how you folks expected something more. lol

The song in full is amazing. The video not so much. Ayu looks hot though when she's not overdoing her facial expressions.

no xD

I reuploaded https://yadi.sk/i/BJiFzaUUfUQFu

Oh right. Breathes out.
Thx for the reupload!

Thanks for the reupload!

Guess cant expect anything from Ayu anymore. lol. Only the song is good in itself.

I must have this song on my iPod

God, this song is going to sound AMAZING live!

Yup! Her singing voice here is pretty much already live mode :laugh

This song is perfect! I can't wait to see it live

I'' love with this song but does anyone have a screencap of my love ZIN or can tell me who the sexy guy with the hairy chest at the beginning of the PV is?

A ORGY.

PV is nah (ayu looks fierce and hot though). I didn't expect anything epic from the song itself, but it turned out to be WOW-WOW-WOOOW and so-o-o freaking sexy!!!

02:48-03:01 - I just... can't... stand... any... other...

It is also uploaded here on jpoptsuki. Think its better quality then tudou.

thank you!

Totally agree!


Well, nothing more at the end of the pv. So my view hasn't changed. It's one of the most monotonous pv in the pvgraphy of Ayu.

I love the whole look of the video and her outfit is amazing.
She kind of looks uncomfortable when she's trying to be sexy.

The lalala parts are hilarous.

Thanks! =D

I thought Ayu was dressed too conservative for the theme of the video, which seemed to me to be like a mock of an orgy, I felt the costume could have been more fierce. It wasn't her best PV but she has done many worse, like those on the Love Song album, where there was never a close up or those on party Queen O.O like how beautiful you are, horrible frock, horrible boots, horrible hair, horrible make up and every cliché in the book, her best in my opinion, where on Five

Because of you is much better, the heartbroken girl band rocks more than this orgy or what so ever concept.

Agreed!

Most likely depressed prostitutes...

But leather outfits aside, both videos has nothing in common...

Wow, this would have been awful if a "lucky fan" won to be featured in this PV but was super conservative and needed tons of personal space....

Also, there were many people in the PV who just had weird facial expressions, not just Ayu. It was really distracting! XD With that said, I do like the song, though it sounded monotonous (like the PV itself, I was hoping for more...).

thanks!

The full PV may just, pretty much, be an continuation of what avex uploaded...but it doesn't matter! :D The PV's just as amazing, fierce & completely awesome as it was when I first watched it & I still looove the song, ayu's whole look & the entire PV itself. :heart Everything's simply amazing! "WARNING" is love! :love

I realy really really love this song, it's soooo good :heart
And I love the video too, imo it's her best PV in quite some time.

So true. I don't get all the comparisons with Because of You, the PVs' ideas are completely different.

WARNING with Because of You similar by coloring and scenes with band

with Rule by outfit and scene where she go and touch everyone =)

knew it, there is nothing going on until the end.
well at least the song and the lyric kick ass!
next, i hope Last minute PV is good.

I love "Warning" but don't like the PV that much. They're getting more and more boring, it's sad. But her voice and the song itselfs are awesome. Can't wait to hear more from A One.

totally in love with the full song! I love the bridge part! and she looks hot in the PV which is enough for me :p

a noisy song and a bad PV

I enjoyed every second of it :heart never seen ayu so fierce

lady dinamite PV + A BEST LIVE phamplet photoshoot concept

And you came back because...?

I know what you're talking about. I stopped caring in 2010 too :D

I don't understand comments like these. Do you want a medal or something? Feel free to leave if you don't care anymore. :shrug

^This. I don't get why people keep on coming just to trash an artist they are pretty open to say they don't care about anymore.

I adore the song but not so much the PV. Kind of wanted to see some head banging/hair flipping during the non crowd band scenes. Basically stronger movements than what she is doing (looks like she is sitting?). I will say she is just exuding attitude and genuine confidence when she first appears in the PV!

I like the PV. I think it's more about her attitude than what's actually going on. This along with Last minute seems to be about her just expressing get feelings than being abstract and conceptualized. It's very straight forward.

Just wanted to thank you for your website Nick! Back then when resources were scarce, your site was truly remarkable for having so much on it! It was incredible and the greatest site for my early ayu fandom

I can decide myself what to do.thanks

Because every pv from 1998-2010 (what RnRC?) is a work of god. And not one PV after that is worth showing anyone.

I get that people have periods of ayus career that they like better or where they find a higher concentration of better videos, songs, etc. But when people post things like what nick just said, what I said above is all it sounds like. Just ridiculous generalizations.

Which for me, is just lol for many reasons. But to each his own obviously. His own opinion or personal truth or whatever.

I do understand that everyone has their favorite "era", but I think saying you don't care anymore is a bit too strong. I mean, you're still wasting your time here talking about her when you could be outside taking a walk in the park. I'm sorry, but you do care.

And I also don't get people still complaining about WARNING. She released a very simple, arty music video a couple of days ago but you didn't like that one either. Stop waiting for another ourselves, it's not going to happen because Ayu is not the same artist she used to be in 2003. That's life in case you don't know.

Ayu probably COULD do it depending on who she pairs up with. If Kouki Tange comes out of retirement or whatever or she works with Kazuaki Kiriya, we'll get something crazy. Even Tetsuo Inoue or Hideaki Suenaga could probably pull it off.

However, with their shorter shooting days, it's probably much harder to execute PVs like that.

thanks forsharing it

Thaaaank you.
I find this happens really frequent in the ayu fandom, my goodness..Ai otsuka puts out some songs people arent fond of , they say they long for another Kingyo Hanabi, and life moves on. Ayu enters a new era and people lose their brains.
lots of pining for Duty and My Story, and sometimes this really overshadows some of her newer best works like Love songs and Guilty. There are great songs from most recent works too. Terminal, Ivy, Last Minute for example.

^the thing is i think that people still hope she will bring them what they fell in love with for the first time. but it seems like those things are way too specific and of course too different for each one. Also if she started recycling too many ideas people will say she's getting lazy or uninspired...i think people don't know themselves what they actually want from her lol

We aren't getting anything crazy because this is not where trends are nowadays... When Ayu was doing crazy stuff, everyone else did crazy stuff.

It's not about being lazy or uncreative, it's about adapting to the current market.

Since when was Ayu about trends though?

She was doing the legions of Caucasians in her PVs for ages but stopped only about a few years ago.

I think she's just beyond spending too much time on PVs nowadays since those require a bit more time than any of the PVs she's done in the last 2 or 3 years.

I think these people just pretty much admitted to trolling lol

maybe she just doesn't want to? She's doing her own thing most of the time anyways. Also what's the point of trying to adapt to Japanese market if it's all taken by idols anyways and 90% population thinks she's old and uninteresting anymore? All that trend stuff, more and more i start to think is a bubble. If she started going for the current market as you put here it would be PVs of her dancing in a bikini while looking cute.. Seriously....It's all just coincidence, imo. besides majority of big names are usually the ones that START the so called "trends", so really....

It's funny how y'all are debating about wanting to get the pvs she used to do more than ten years ago and such on THIS thread.

Just read the lyrics : "Telling me to follow expectations, asking for too much. This hollowed-out heart of mine won’t be coming back"
To me she's saying that she's not coming back to the era where she used to do super "creative"/"crazy"/whatever you call it things because at that time she used to be suffering, but now that she's in a good place in her life she has changed and she knows she won't be coming back to that time where she used to feel empty and thus was suuuuper creative (according to your standards)

I know people will reply with "but you don't always have to be suffering to make great art stuff" but i don't believe in that.
Some people are just too attached to the ayu they fell in love with years ago and can't accept that she's changed like someone said few posts above.

After reading a lot of her interviews, it seems as though a lot of that Ayu was 'forced' because she felt like she had something to prove or that she needed to display that she was a glamorous perfect queen up until like 2008 or 2009 which coincidentally is when people think she probably changed the most.

You didn't get me... She ALREADY is adapting to the current market... Actually, she started adapting to it at the first singnals it would be the major trend. Who, besides Katy Perry, Ariana Grande or anyone with a huge children following is doing over the top, complex videos? The more simple stuff she is doing since 2009, and that dominated her videography since 2010 or 2011 is basically the actuall state of things in pop music. You will have tons and tons of videos that have only one location, 1 or 2 outfits and that looked way cheaper than what those artists can afford.

This is actually both a response for everything being over the top during the 2000 AND the global economic crisis, that makes closer to more down to earth aesthetics.

All of those videos are from big popstars on their places of origin, or at least, new stars backed by huge labels, and all of them have some of the stuff people are complaing about here... not many scenarios, not many outfits, they are highly choreography focused when there's a choreography, the special effects looks cheap, they look like something someone begining their career would release, some look amateurish and poorly executed, nothing actually happens on many of them and on the past 4 years Ayu have at least one video that reminds of one of those:

lol you really put quite a bit of effort into this.

Spoiler tags please. There was really no reason to link to that many videos at once.

THIS. :yes

I think WARNING throws any "she's trying to follow the simplistic trends of the decade" theory out the window lol. That PV may not exactly be intricately made but it's definitely loud and bombastic and absolutely still following the trends people like Gaga set in the late 2000s, not what's current and in right now.

Her PVs nowadays don't feel stylistically different at all. They just seem cheaper, or simpler, or more rushed than before.

Sorry, I know it's offtopic, but could you please edit your post and replace all the videos with links or at least put them into spoiler tag? Having so many videos on one page makes my browser and laptop run really slowly. I'm not sure if the spoiler tag is going to work though, I think even though it's hidden the browser still loads all the content inside? I'd really appreciate if you could put the links there instead ^^

I personally don't have any expectations for her anymore PV wise. I found the PV boring and pointless more than anything. One can have a PV that is just one shot with one or 2 outfits and have it be effective, case in point Sweet scar or Last minute. No one is saying everything has to be a big budget production, but really I think with the money they paid all those extras or the cost of her body suit, a more interesting idea could have been presented, not something that has already been done more times than necessary.

But at least TImmy wasn't in it! :)

And that's exactly the trend...

I was bored waiting for my ride... :P But it wasn't much effort, I didn't need to search any video that I didn't already know

I will try the spoiler tag, if it still keep being problematic, let me know and I put links instead! =)

i really don't mind the video. But then again i thought i will enjoy the song much more when i heard the previews, but somehow the more i listen to it the more it sounds like Lady Dynamite to me and the video is reminiscing more and more of the video of that one. It's definitely an all rigth video. But frankly neither the song nor the video leaves a very big and deep impression on me. For some reason i can't imagine the pv looking like something else. lol As for that body suit, it's not even a new piece she's got designed. It's one of her stage costumes that she used in that tv "Asahi 55th anniversary DREAM FESTIVAL" in 2013, so it's actually 2 years old lol

Thank you so much, it really helped ^^

I don't think she's following any trend... She's just releasing simpler, cheaper music videos. I don't need to come up with a reason to accept this fact.

haha yes. it's avex trend tho, not the jpop market trend;)

I can't disagree that stylistic simplicity is on trend these days, but I don't think Ayu's doing stylistically simple PVs. They are simpler now, but because of a lower budget and less time being put into them, not because of a style choice. WARNING is not stylistically simple at all, even though it's much less grand scale than something like Microphone or Because of You before it. It is obviously still trying to follow the trends of the mid-late 2000s and early 2010s, but only falling short because of budget cuts.

XOXO was cheap and so was Lelio. They were both simple as well. Are they trendy? Not at all.

Koda Kumi's WALK OF MY LIFE cover is stylistic simplicity. It doesn't look cheap, it's purposely simple and clean.

@Andrenekoi which Ayu video reminded you of Chandelier?

I don't think any did, but she released several videos on the last 4 years where the focus is heavily on the choreography, without different outfits or scenarios, like Angel or Melody... And she also released videos based on raw performance, like Last Minute now.

Personally, Ayu was never a great PV artist. I think only four PVs are top quality: Endless Sorrow, Because of You, Alterna, and Heaven. The rest range from pretty to serviceable to awful. In some cases, watching the PV actually ruins the song.

Well, to be honest, Jpop in general does not have a great PV culture. The great ones (Hikki's run with Kiriya Kazuaki, for instance) seem to be more the exception than the rule. This is probably because PVs are first and foremost promotional materials. Then again, I think most music videos anywhere rarely rise to the occasion. It seems like Bjork is probably the only artist who can consistently put out great stuff.

Song was good. I could have shot a better PV though. It was disappointing and very generic.

Hey Nick,

Just wanted to send a thank you your way for all the hard work you put into your site. It was one of the few Ayu sites I'd check regularly, and I always looked forward to updates back in the day. I also wanted to say we are in the same boat. I haven't bought an Ayu product in ages, and I do believe that has to do with the quality of what she's releasing these days. I'd say 2010-2011 is when I cooled towards her. I still check what she's doing and listen to what she puts out, but I haven't invested much passion toward the music in a while. Hopefully, something will click in the future.

Personally, this PV is a missed opportunity. A lot of potential that gives way to, uh, cheapness instead of effective simplicity.

i was kinda disappointed with the pv..the song is so cool and fun and i love when ayu makes her entrance but watching the whole video felt like watching an unending orgy O.o

hi, nick!

i just wanted to say a quick thank you for all your hard work. i loved the discography you set up and i still refer to it as i go back and collect some ayu stuff when i have the money. i'm disappointed it had to end, but i understand why. it's cool that i'm virtually meeting you after all these years!

take care! <3

Nick, your site is a great directory, it helped me a lot back in the times. thank you for your hard work :)

The song is SLAYING MATERIAL
The pv is flawless.

I'm going so lesbian rn.
queen of everything.

I'm sorry! I just always feel like I'm talking behind someones back when I do that.
But I guess it's less drama that way. I'll do it next time! ;)

What I saw was Ayu showing everyone that she can be fierce and bad ass, and if she wants to be with a bunch of sexy people she doesn't care what people think. She's going to do what she wants and she's going to look hot doing it. *shrugs*

Not to say that I love EVERY video that Ayu has done, I mean there are some that make me wonder why they even bothered to put out a PV because it's so awful (imho). Wake me up, snowy kiss, You & Me... >.>

Also, she looks much better here than she did in the Love song PV. The short wig in certain scenes... *sigh*

After my posts got deleted:
Fare well to most and not too well to others.
It is quite annoying that after 13 years of being Ayu fan and dedicating THAT much time to the website, one gets treated like crap by the people who were actually in their diapers when I was buying Ayu CDs and developing my website.
nick

i watched the video again and i thought that beyond the orgy-ness :shakehead ...i feel like she's also saying this is me and my crew..i still have all the people that i need on my side, everyone else can fuck off.. i like it a lot more now!..she's rising above the haters <3
