I've always been so disappointed with Ayu's making-of's. I always thought that they're supposed to really give you an in depth look at the creative process in one of her music videos.
I want to see alternate designs for costumes, and choreography practices in a dance studio if the song (real me, rule, inspire) has a dance routine, and the building of the set, and a conference of ayu and everyone sitting together discussing what they want to do for the video/like ideas getting tossed around and pictures and drawings being shared.

Instead most of the time we just get her playing around with her dogs and actually performing on a hot set. Like most of the time when they're showing her filming the video, the take they're showing is the take they use. Once in a while she throws us a bone by showing mess ups and unused takes (Carols), but I don't even bother watching them anymore. From what I've seen, it's the same routine. She walks onto the set in costume, they show her performing and acting, she takes a few breaks and watches the take on a camera, and then she walks off with a bouquet of flowers in her hands. The last making-of I saw was for the videos on Rock n Roll Circus and I kind of skimmed through the making-ofs for colours.
