Yeah it looks pretty cheesy (and not that great), but I'm disappointed that the Ayu character is clearly not the protagonist, the Max character is??? Ugh, now I'm worried that Ayu's portrayal (particularly in regards to her career and her hard work) is going to be diluted and heavily dependent upon her relationship with Max (I mean, it's clear it was always going to be a romance, but...still, they're literally making specific homages to Ayu's music videos, and I hope that her character has some substance beyond being Max's love interest). Max's actor is clearly superior at acting, so maybe that's why the Max character seems more complex so far, but really the Ayu character just feels like an after-thought addition?

Also, from this trailer, Kalen does not look like, or even -embody- Ayu's mannerisms at all. They really should have gone with an actress.
