Wow. I feel like this video aged Ayu quite a bit. She just feels old in it. Again, the video seems characterized by the lack of action in her videos over the last 5 years. The video fits the song, but it's just hard to watch and feel excited about a video that consists of two or three shots of Ayu in the same outfit.

This is the full version of the song too, right? I think it could've been 55 seconds shorter and may have felt more special. It's the same thing with curtain call. If curtain call was only like 3 minutes, I'd probably be more entertained by it, but the extra 44 seconds makes it seem like it just drags on and on after the point was made.

EDIT: I also feel like I missed the point of this video in contrast to videos similar to it. Like, I got the point of crossroad's PV but could never sit through MOON's PV. I hate to say it, but I do somewhat miss the PVs from Party Queen right now. At least NaNaNa was fun to watch.
