At first I was really taken back by the fact that it wasn't a "Diva posing in a sparkly dress" type video. I didn't like the animation, but I found it interesting (and a relief) that Ayu was only in the background for the most part. But then the video really wasn't going anywhere; the scenes were mostly of her running without alot happening. Then when she saw her crush and suddenly changed both race and body size, and I saw Ayu's dress and realized where the budget for the whole video went. On the dress. Because sadly no real work or thought went into the video.

It saddens me to see Ayu's name connected with something like this. It's extremely juvenile and narrow minded. There were a million other ways to showcase something fun and carefree without resorting to offensive body image portrayal. Is this the same woman who wrote 'Real me'?

I will give her credit for trying something new though, but her lowered standards for PVs confuse and disappoint me.
