It really depends on the video, but for the most part, all of them are done by Wataru Takeishi.

Wataru Takeishi also directs many of Ayu's commercials.

(These are usually all supervised by Kiyoshi 'Utsumizm' Utsumi, Ayu's visual director. The nice looking old man in most of Ayu's making ofs. He also made CAROLS, I believe.)

List of SPECIAL SCREENS and my supposed directors (not confirmed at all since there were other directors present I don't remember):
Kaleidoscope, INSPIRE, GAME, CAROLS - Wataru Takeishi
Are You Wake Up?, STEP you, Ladies Night, alterna - Wataru Takeishi
taskinst - Wataru Takeishi
Not yet, part of Me - Takehide Ishii
The Judgement Day, (don't) Leave me alone, HANABI- Wataru Takeishi
Depend on you/STEP you - Takahide Ishii
Marionette - Not Tetsuo Inoue! BLAH. Probably Wataru Takeishi.
Disco-munication, Load of the SHUGYO, HOPE or PAIN(?) - Wataru Takeishi
HOPE or PAIN(?) - Takahide Ishii

Sample list of directors -
PROJECTION VTR DIRECTORS FOR AT05: Wataru Takeishi, Chikara Tanaka
PROJECTION VTR DIRECTORS FOR AT06: Wataru Takeishi, Chikara Tanaka
PROJECTION VTR DIRECTORS FOR AT07: Wataru Takeishi, Takahide Ishii
PROJECTION VTR DIRECTORS FOR AT08: Wataru Takeishi, Takahide Ishii, Sojiro Otsubo, Yasuyuki Hoshi (I'm curious about the 2 that come after... they seem like they might just be assistants.

Most of these are based on my observations of their style of directing and the videos they've created in the past...

With Ayu's harder ones like Load and (don't), I feel as though they are Wataru works since he tends to be very edgy at times.
All extremely interesting information. On the supposed 'guesses' of who directed the screens I have to agree. They each have some sort of individual style that makes it easy to add them together.

Wataru Takeishi really has always been one of my favourites of all her PV directors; I'm glad he's still so involved.
