She really needs Wataru back.
Thanks for providing the list

WOW, I had no idea Masashi directed so many of her videos as of recently. Like, WOW. I think it's time to choose a new director tbh.

I really like the work of Kazuyoshi 'Shimoko' Shimomura, I think there were interesting concepts there...no idea he directed the "Lady Dynamite" clip. Hideaki would be a nice surprise.

She tends to just stick with one director for a couple of eras and then use a director for maybe one or two videos.

I'm not a fan of Masashi's work in the least, I mean other than "sexy little things." But yeah time for new directors.
