Ayu's face is gorgeous.
Her dress is awful...and the hair...I like it...in concept, but it didn't pan out the best.
I like the interesting group of people she brought in.
I don't care for the direction of the video. I don't care for them all fighting against the wind. I don't think it's needed.
I felt the people just standing there, and then embracing, got the message across well enough. It's quite obvious how many of these people probably struggle for normalcy in their lives. And them embracing and being empowered with the love they have for the person with them...it was more than enough for me. The end was just full of cheese. Like Ayu and the song too.
Even so. Beautiful message. Pleasant song.
I do believe though, when they had that ending with all the people fighting through the wind...it should have been in color. Color any place else would have ruined the effect...but at the end...it would have been perfect, though I guess a little superfluous. But they have such a huge pile of pretentious symbolism already
What's another one visual.
