That's awfully boring, and a good director should know this.
Her PVs back in the days of MY STORY were superb, imo. About You has so many different images, but they all fall together nicely. This PV has only three different images (or four, max) and they don't even fall together. Lol.
Of course there are exceptions to long scenes being boring, but that's not the case here.
[edit] Actually, her (m)u and Secret PVs were still good (Ladies Night, JEWEL, rainy day, 1 LOVE) but it has sort of gone down hill with Secret (Startin', Born To Be...), even further down hill with GUILTY and hit rock bottom with her recent videoclips. :') On the other hand, it can't get any worse than recently so she can only stay on the same level or improve.~
And why are her bloody dancers in EVERY PV lately? I don't LIKE your dancers, Ayu. I like YOU. That's why I'm fan of YOU and not "Ayumi Hamasaki & dancers". =_= I'm sure you have a lot of fun at the set, but how about making a good PV next time.
And Shuya is fattish and not hot.

So it's the lack of different images, is what you mean? It's the same thing for about a minute? To be honest, I never noticed
But I'm glad I understand better, thank you

I thought most people hated the PV due to minor things and the nitpicking was getting extremely annoying... But now at least I have a sensible reason for why the PV could be construed as not very good.
And now that you mention it (I watched it again), there are less images. But I guess it doesn't bother me as much.
Another question, if I may: Does this make the PV "bad" or just "not your cup of tea"? I'm not sure what makes a good PV, but like you said with exceptions, fewer images isn't what makes a PV good or bad.
I think Mirrorcle World was bad because the concept was so unclear, and it wasn't until it was analyzed that I understood anything, yet I don't recall the the amount of images (she looked gorgeous in every one of them though).
Yet, to use your example, I understood NOTHING that was going on in About you, but I guess the constant change of images keeps the audience interested...
So what really makes a PV bad?
