I agree. Maybe I've just become to critical "in my old age?", but Microphone just registered as "interesting" to me, not glorious or show-stopping. The funny thing is, I think a lot of that simply has to do with the cinematography, rather than the actual concept, costumes, and so forth in the PV itself.
I guess the camera angles in Microphone just felt too regular and uninspiring. It could be, of course, that I've just gotten too attached to the selective focus and crazy fore-middle-background focus play that occurs in so many of her PVs (I don't know the directors, but, for example, Part of me, JEWEL, rainy day, About you, Marionette, INSPIRE, Moments, talkin' 2 myself, Sparkle Greatful Days, Because of You, Hanabi ~Episode II~, Together when...and so on, each including this effect to a varying degree). I guess...it was neat, but it didn't have enough peculiar edge for me? *is too critical/picky*
