You know what... the thing's that bad about Lady Dynamite is just... her expression. Oh God I swear in the first couple of minutes when she was singing to the camera... WTF is with her exaggerated mouth and "I'M FIERCE YOU *****" face?
Hey, Microphone was an equally fierce song but she wasn't doing such a -WTF?- face, really. It seems like only Kazuyoshi Shimomura has the magical ability to make Ayu look like an idiot. Sorry Kazuyoshi Shimomura fans, but I HATE this "guy" who's obnoxious, disgusting and failure in terms of working with Ayu. EVERYTHING that he does with Ayu turns out disgusting. It's just so bad that I honestly WISH AND HOPE that Ayu just stops working with this person... ugh.
The only thing that saves me from her crappy expressions and faces was the actual concept - it may be a little ott for some of us, but I really like and appreciate the gay club scene location; at least for parts of the PV, I could see they're all really having fun but really... that's about the only good thing about the PV for me; rest was crap. But the song is awesome though; REALLY GOOD AND CATCHY; I'M IN LOVE WITH THE SONG
Don't look back's PV is honestly the best PV she has made since the GUILTY album, excluding Days. The concept, directing, execution.. everything was just flawless. She's gorgeous, and destroying herself part was so... impactful? It made me really shocked tbh, and it's just epic.
Sexy little things... I feel this is a PV that needs more watching to digest... basically it's the same as Microphone; there are a lot of things going on with all the symbolism that you can't understand or appreciate it in one watch. That's all I can say; it's quirky and attention-grabbing on first watch though, that's for sure. The song sounds a little fitting into the NEXT LEVEL album as well; with all the electro and 8-bit sounds going on; it's definitely interesting!
