Curtain Call: Very average pv. Nothing special about it. Though at least the song sounded better in high quality. I still don't like the fact though that she uses vibrato on EVERY line - overkill big time.

Sparkle: Better than I thought it would be. Definitely Shimomura's best PV so far since it seems that he actually learned how to edit a little bit. I would have liked to see more of 80s Ayu though for more balance. I actually really loved the black outfit with the stiletto heals. Still don't really like the song though - average music with below average lyrics.

However, what is up with the purple scene towards the end? She is bouncing up and down on one of her dancers like they are having sex. That part in particular I thought was just too ****ty for Ayu.

I also just saw Next Level: Yep, the whole pv is her driving. I won't say its a bad pv because it does actually kind of suit the song and the scenery is pretty. But it does get boring.

Overall though, my prevailing feeling after watching these 3 PVs is - are we ever going to get a truly amazing PV from Ayu again?
