Yeah but Namie's a dancer and she has the proper poise.
Didn't like the PV very much at all. Some visuals like the butterfly and riding on the cart were alright, the rest I didn't like. Real Me, I liked the dancing, some of it was interesting, this one I really didn't like it whatsoever. It's like watching your (blood related female family member) jump up on a table and strip. Not someone you expect to see acting that way, not someone you want to (assuming you're not into incest). Again with the red makeup, cherry/brick/fire engine red is awful IMO on her. Clothing is fine, on her face it completely detracts from everything else. The tight pulled back hair also got to me, japanese females just really never look good in cornrows/tight pulled-back braids 99.9% of the time.
Off of image, it seems like the director mashed the Voyage video into barely recognizable chunks, masticated it, then vomited it all back up into a bowl of hibiscuses in the middle of an LA ghetto with hispanics playing guitars in the background. Y'know what I think might've worked since it seems they were so intent on copying Voyage? Subservient girl getting married to someone she doesn't want to, escaping her family/marriage and living the life she wanted, loving whom she wanted to love. Trite, cheesy, overdone, but better than what they served up here. This has about as much plot as Panic Room and I hated that movie with a passion, I went to go see it because I got in free. Like someone else mentioned, this looks like something Britney Spears would've done, bad dancing and all.
