omg I love the PV. it has a simple premise but executed very well. it's just her doing a faux-making-of video but I like everything about it: the non-sloppy camera movements, slo-mos (I'm a sucker for super dramatisch slo-mos), and the VFX don't look dated at all, even now.

also, instead of looking sad, I see ayu as looking somewhat dignified(?) here. there's no overacting and she looks to me just the way she would when actually performing the song live in concert.

tl;dr I guess iconic is in the eyes of the beholder but gotdamn I love evolution
