...I wonder if Shawn Yue is in the PV too I wonder if both are connected I can't wait to see both of them now ^^

I want that dress... not the veil but the dress!

BTW: Is this for fated ???

Maybe I don't really know

hmm, it does seem appropriate for fated, just fits.

interesting.. thanks

btw, she looks "chubby" in 2nd pic

if your gonna post articles in a language other than english please put a translation as well, its just annoying waiting for someone to translate an article all the time :P

omg this PV is getting better and better by the looks of this!

I just hope we aren't all dissapointed by the final product... this is like, her first PV that we've seen every step (or day) of its production.

ayu looks soooooo nice in the dress! i can't wait for the actual pv!
thanks for posting!

Translating that gonna take forever.
New PVs gonna be cool!!!

...sorry I cant translate it since my only language is English.

oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That wedding dress is beautiful!! I want it!

I think shawn yue dies in the film (motorcycle accident) and that guy in the suit laying on the ground is his double. The film most likely will not have a happy ending. (If I read it correctly)

whoa...runaway bride? haha...prolly a hint for the year end marriage...haha
looks nice...cant wait!

when was that wedding dress scene taken?
yesterday nite?
niceee...
ayu looks pretty..
it's our first timeto see ayu in a wedding dress!

:yes

If it's anything like mariah carey's we belong together, I'll like it. Especially if there's a "TO BE CONTINUED" if both PVs connect. Wahahaha...

I can translate a little bit...the article contains the storyline of the pv.

*SPOILER*

so basically the storyline is about ayu, (being herself as a superstar in the pv) falls in love with shawn yue (a ordinary guy- I think) and then they fell in love and decides to get married secretly. They planned to meet each other at a certain place to run away to get married. she throws away her career for him. At the meeting place, ayu already wore the bride dress and saw a man in a motorcycle accident and ayu runs towards him and he dies before they could get married (I think) and so they couldn't be together.

And from the earlier filming pics...I think ayu was saved by shawn from something (he have his hand bandaged) and she fell in love with him because of that. They started going out with each other (the holding hand and fish balls feeding scenes)

Correct me if I'm wrong.

^ Too Much Information, sorry. That is a major spoiler.

Thanks for the rough translation though!

^ Big Big spoiler.

SORRY! :scry

but I think the actual pv will contain more of a storyline than the article.

Oh, I think I will like these PV's :D When can we expect them to be aired. Is it possible before single release? Or do they always tend to wait for the single release usually?

OWWW thats a sad sad story...anyway, im gonan translate the first article..


Ayu was at 西九龍海濱長廊shooting a 煞科戲 (my guess is kinda drama kindad scene?)。Despite the hot weather, Ayu wore a wedding gown, and was very focused on the job。
Ayu, who came to HK specially to make an MV with Shawn Yue, finished the job yesterday at daybreak。The night before, at ard 8+pm, Ayu changed into a wedding gown and left the hotel with her staff and headed to 西九龍海濱長廊for a 煞科戲。

With the temperature as high as 30 d.celcius, Ayu had to run on the empty ground. Everytime they finished a scene, her starr would fan her. Suddenly, it rained. Her staff quickly opened their umbrellas but AYu seemed unfazed by the bad weather and did a Playback。Ayu also waved to the reporters once in a while. When the rain stopped, Ayu continued to shoot the Running scene. When they completed the last Take, all cheered. Ayu and her staff went back, tired, at 12 midnight.

After many nights of filming, Ayu decided to return to Japan this morning. However, as she was too exhausted, she took the aftnn plane at 2. As usual, she bade goodbye to everyone (fans and reporters) as she went in.

Also, Shawn Yue rested in the car whenever he did not have a scene. However, when the boss of the movie company and director went to the car, Shawn was alert and chatted with them.

Shawn Yue is very serious about his job
Yesterday, during the phone interview, Shawn said he was very happy to work with Ayu "because (dont really understand)...actually, before having to film the MV, we agrred to go to thereDr agon-i for a meeting. There were then objections because of time constraint. So to let the people involved have an agreement (on the MV plot i guess), it was impt to meet for the first time. Ayu is a person who has high expectations, everything done has to be clear. My company is afraid that we would not be able to communicate properly so they have arranged for two translators for me while Ayu has 3. So everytime I want ot say something, there would be 7 people around, it was very difficult to get close to Ayu." When Shawn was asked whether he exchanged no.s with Ayu, he avoided the question and only said, Ayu is his friend now.

wow I like how Ayu looks like in that dress, I want to see the full PV already T_T

omg what a drama. XDDD Looks like these photos are for fated.. it sounds like that to me. =p Nice pics though.

second article:::

Queen of Jpop Ayumi Hamasaki spent 8 days filming the MV for her new song and only finished yesterday, and went back to Japan, exhausted.The scene filmed the night before was about Ayu and Shawn because of some scene in front, having a sharp climax. Ayu and Shawn had a tragic scene (a scene whereby one who cry out to god being merciless). Ayu wore a sexy wedding gown and ran at 海濱長廊axiously trying to find her love one. However, Shawn was knocked down by a motorcycle (i think) ending his life. And that was the end of the HK love story. A love which could not blossom.

The MV is about Ayu coming to HK to look for Shawn. Both decide to secretly marry and elope. Ayu wore a low cut wedding gown the night before and walked out the hotel. She also waved to her fans who were at the scene of the filiming. It also rained.

Running frantically at 海濱長廊 in a wedding gown

The crew first shot Ayu's scene, where she is seen in a wedding gown, high heels running around 10+ times. As it was rather hot there, she looked tired. Everytime a shot was done, her staff would fan her and motivate her to go on. Friendly Ayu also waved to her fans and media reporters once in a while. There was another girl wearing a wedding gown, supposedly Ayu's clone/replacement.

Shawn not feeling well, Replacement took over

On the other side, Shawn was filming the death scene where he was knocked down and bled profusely. As he was not feeling well, his replacement took over and the scene was shot over a 2h time span. When the staff were refuelling the vehicle, there was an oil leak. For safety precaution, they told everyone not to smoke. Shawn rested in the car the whole time until 1am when the boss of the movie company and director came to see the progress in the filming, the director asked Shawn to get down from the car to greet. Andrew Lau just returned to HK and is now preparing for a new film(?) and is preparing the script and finding the actors, but he could not disclose anything. He hopes he can start work at the end of the year.

Completed at last, Ayu leaves HK

After so many days for filming, Ayu left HK yesterday. She left the hotel at 1.15pm with 10+ bodyguards wearing a low cut top and tight jeans. There were many fans there as well. But Ayu, prolly too tired, did not look happy. At the airport, Her fans gave her many gifts like a small Chinese lion dance head. She accepted them politely and shook their hands. As she went into the gate, she turned back and bade goodbye.

it seems that this PV would be so touching

airport pics of ayu leaving HK:

I really like what she's wearing! :love

Looks a tragic ending

i think she looks rally chic and young in that outfit...i cant wait to watch the PV...and great, it IS those running PV...o well

how come shawn yue is mentioned? if thats the case, the mv will be interesting! looking forward to more ayu action

wow....we've like already seen every scene and costume from the PV...damn! no more surprises~~ :(

and wow the airport pics, her fans gave her so many pretty things!!!!!!

err..he is acting with Ayu

It reminds me of Voyage :)

It seems like it will be a really touching video, something different :)

Thanks for posting, i'm even more anxious to see it now, haha.

looks like glitter & fated PV both will have a good storyline...

its really a must see PV...can't wait

Looks like Mariah carey we belong together?? :(

Ayu looks terrible in that gown :(
However, PV seems interesting. I can't wait to watch the PVs though. :)

OMFG HAVE TO SEE THAT!
ayu looks awesome in wedding dress x_x so pretty.

That's a lovely dress!

thank you Ayumiko!

So pretty. It's a bit koda kumi ish to do two songs linked with pvs, but I love the idea.

I don't think it's really kumish... though kumi did it too kumi is not the first to do it xD.

Agreed :)
Thanks for sharing :)

It will realy be a intresting PV :) I can't wait to see it ^^

Yeah well we all know how avex enjoys re-adopting ideas with other artists. Doesn't matter to me.

I read over the word "spoiler". I'm not gonna read it, so much hype around a pv or song (a la 1 LOVE) leaves you disappointed in the end if you get your hopes up so much.

I think the PVs will be shown as soon as the week after.
I can't wait until that.
This is gona be real epic.

The videos are turning out to be so great! o____o I'm getting so impatient it's not even okay.

WOW O______O

I like the idea of the PV. It´s something original for ayu. I think all the pics shown of ayu and shwan are for Fated PV. They dont really suit with Glitter´s style :P

so those scenes are for glitter and fated PVs?
i thought those scenes are for short movie like Voyage regarding to the new single..
ehmmm~

^I think they might be fated's PV.

btw in those moments ayu might be preparing to perform her before last performance of the tour XD

Her last performace is next week I suppose I jsut checked it a few days ago, I hope I'm correct.

When will she be shooting for her new cover huh?

^I think she shot them in Hong Kong along with the PVs.

That's why I said before last performance xD the last performance is tomorrow.

i'm even more excited now!!

So much to look forward to! :D

The PV's, the songs, the covers, the final concert being filmed (if she uses the final concert for the dvd as usual)

the tragic storyline PV reminds me of the typical korean mv's...but this is different for Ayu, so i can't wait~ we finally get to see Ayu act more! and the PV will give Ayu more publicity in hk/china but will also give MUCH more publicity for Shawn for whole of asia

this really cant have happend to ayu right? if the pv is about her life then she met a ordinary guy, fell in love with him and would get married in secret..... is it about nagase? hes not a ordinary guy....wait maybe they dated before they both become famous. I dont really know their story but if the guy die in the pv it's not nagase.

^hmmm, i don't think it relli happened to Ayu, it's just a made up story

and i think it's pretty irresponsible for Shawn to use a double because he was a little sick, Ayu worked alot harder than him and even if she was sick i reckon she would try and at least finish off the last bit...i hope i won't even notice the Shawn double looking different or camera angles that will hide the double's face

^Well we don't know if someone will actually die in the pv... lol.

I hate to wait!

its cool!!! july 18 is coming soon!!! and i think this is the first time we actually get to noe what ayu is doing when filming a PV right? isnt it cool??

hope its for fated... :D and i feel that that pic of ayu sorta looks like her in her early days (before 1998) haha.

deja vu ~ mariah carey // //

this pv will be amazinggggggg

isnt it for both glitter and fated?

Wow now I really can't wait to see this! The only thing that bugs me is that if the video doesn't air before Jun 25 when I go away, I won't get to see it until like August :(

^ That's gonna be real bad, where are you going? Cant you get internet acess?
Ayu's been working real hard these days. Right after the release of the single is a-nation.
Life of a pop-start just goes on and on.

^yeah ayu is always working really hard, even it entered to that from 2006.
First ayu worked on Secret and released it, then about a month or two she publicated it as hell, then she released A BEST 2 -BLACK- and A BEST 2 -WHITE- let's not forget the to BEST of CDL performances (and its rehersals).
Then ayu began the ASIA TOUR and even needed to fly back and forth to two different countries and in one of them two different cities and in Japan too (travel to perform in different cities and arenas) even it still go on until tomoz included and the rehersals.... At the meantime she is working on the single as well and had to travel to Hong Kong again between tour performances, and she'll work on the single until the end of the month most likely, after the single she has a-nation '07 to perfrom in... WOW...

ayu is an exellent artist, I wonder if she had some time for herself except for some single days... She devotes all herself to us the fans, and I can't say at all she doesn't love this or us.

That's one of the reasons I love and apreciate ayu so much.

OMG I am so excited!!!!
:D :D :D

Does anyone feel like these 2 songs are prequel to "part of Me?"

Thanks for the info, I can't wait.

thnks ^^

omg this is sooo cute !!!!! can't wait to see this PV!

wow these 2 videos seem to be getting more and more interesting!I'm really looking forward to it!Thanks ayu!XD

oh i didnt noe about that.. but if its for both, THATS BETTER!!! :D

wow she looks SO pretty!!!! i cant wait to see this T____T




actually, she's worn a wedding dress for a calendar shoot :)

http://i17.tinypic.com/542d2ra.jpg

^ Plus her M PV and tours.

o yea.. that's why i have an instinct said that ayu ever wore a wedding dress in some kind of photoshoot..
but she never wore any on PVs..
that's great@

Aw, looks like the PV will be sad. :(

i can imagine the last part of the chorus (a.k.a the preview for fated we heard)...we will see Ayu running around..the very dramatic part...o m g..its gonna be another touching MV...

hrm...looks like she's running away in one of the pics. maybe its a great wedding break up scene?

i love that wedding dress on her! ayumi looks beautiful, thanks for the pics.

Damn xD Thanks for sharing ^^

thanks for sharing these pics!

ayu looks great in the wedding dress!

Didn't she wear a wedding dress in M ? lol

She did indeedy.

But this time, its more meaningful to wear a wedding gown...haha...i think M's one was just there becoz of "M"

Is it just me or do some fans not know that connected PVs were out before Koda Kumi became popular? o__o

thanks !!

Hahaha.
Koda Kumi was not the first artist to have connecting videos.

vogue-far away-SEASONS

was connecting .

LOL ~ayu-cake~ I'm so glad you mentioned that

Vogue-far away-SEASONS was actually released on one DVD I think. And the cover of Vogue CD is actually featured in SEASONS.

Connected PV is hardly new, but it's what in the PV that counts. Connected PVs are just a subcategory of a type of PV. And LOVE~Destiny~ has those shots of her previous PV in the beginning (but that might be something else).

And about the content of the PV, I don't want to drag it out the content too much into symbolism, but if it's about a superstar falling in love with an ordinary guy, it might not relate to Ayu directly (I'm pretty sure Nagase is not "ordinary" nor did he die) but it might be connecting with the extraordinary (love) with reality (the death).

Bah...Finals are getting to me. Overanalysing things again.

But I like the dress. I wonder if Glitter is going to be about the meetings (judging by the pictures previously) but Fate is going to be about the death.

Seems like they're about to get married then the guy dies/gets hurt~ I like the wedding dress T_T~

Thank you~

lol 10x realy :)

Ayu look so doll-ish ^______^

Another wedding dress!

I want this pv now. ;__;

I wish this single sales could be like M single's also xD.

lovely!!

If ayu really falls in love with a ordinary guy in the pv...its gonna give male fans hope...its gonna make them start dreaming..."If ayu, a superstar can throw her career away just for a ordinary guy, maybe I'll have a chance too!"...lol

Wow, you know, I guessed this VERY exact thing "Ayumi wants to be with an ordinary guy" hahaha. Funny stuff. Now I'm gonna hope that it's not all that generic...please...if the storyline can be guessed that easily, then it can not be generic. I hope it's not generic.

Yay, and not only that. The covers of the three singles are related as well ^^'
Ayu is so creative, I hope this PV turns out to be as wonderful as she does sometimes.

Um, actually, she was in a wedding dress in the M PV and single cover...

But this one is much more elaborte than in M! Can't wait to see the PV now!

at first I couldn't tell that the Dress in M was a wedding dress...I guess I was slow at the time what does M having to do with a wedding dress?

can't wait......she's working so hard, after she's done with her concerts she can then focus on releasing singles and hopefully an album at the end of the year,.....because we only have one single (glitter/fated) and lets say she releases one more this year....i wonder if she'll release a mini album or a full album
