Who the hell thinks this is what the 80s was? Absolutely wrong.
If anything this would be more like the 90s camera work. I'd hate to know what else any of you think the 80s was.
Also, this is not Lady Gaga style nor is this anything to do with 'mocking'. This is Ayumi doing Lord knows what.

I think you missed the point. The PV isn't a representation of the 80's itself, but rather the aidoru (idol) style of singers on TV shows like Music Station, Heyx3 back in the 80's. If you watch videos from back then, they all had that same cutesy sort of style Ayumi has in this video. It's almost like an homage to that.
Also, if you look at Lady Gaga, Ayumi in those skintight uniforms....that is VERY Lady Gaga. Many of her outfits are made up of skintight vinyl, etc. And the shades Ayumi wears? (I'll see if I can find a screencap). Gaga has a unique pair of vintage sunglasses with all her outfits, so once again, that sort of thing is very much her. They may not have been trying to mimic Gaga, but it's a very similar concept.
