I'm going to be a pessimistic person. I don't think there was anything about this video I liked or the song for that matter. I tried to let it grow on me...Nope. I can see why some people think it's cool, but after letting the whole thing process in my mind, I've concluded that it's just too desperate looking. Ayu is a fierce, inspiring, and awesome lady...

...but this song and video just don't say that to me. It's too corny I guess. Like...I totally loved BRILLANTE actually. It probably helps that that song is one of my most favorite songs in the world. That video looked powerful and inspiring. This video.... is forced.

I've been thinking this for a while though that when she tries to put on a sexy, domineering look, it comes off as awkward. The only time I've seen her put on her uber-sexy-facade and really do it right was in Sparkle. She looked hot as hell and seemed totally natural.

The thing is, I get that she seems to really have a thing for BDSM. I don't begrudge her for that, but I feel like she could do it a little better. In the end, I guess this song + video is just not my bag of chips. It could be that I'm just misunderstanding the concept. I just don't care for the "let's look like a total badass by acting fierce and bitch-tastic" idea.

OK. Negativity over. I like all the other songs I've heard, just not this one, so I can be content. XD
