Fairyland, JEWEL, GREEN and Virgin Road are pretty high in the list of most expensive music videos in history.

" Janet Jackson leads with six videos on the list, while Michael Jackson, Britney Spears and Ayumi Hamasaki have five each."

But again as some have pointed out you can have pretty high budget but with weak/lazy concept won't make a difference, which it's the problem in Ayu's case (imo) for me the last PVs with a strong concept were Why and BRILLANTE from Five and a couple from Love Again.

She probably had good enough budget for other recent works but the creative team was the weak one, Last Minute PV is so simple and probably didn't need big budget but it works perfectly and it's pretty memorable in it's simplicity. Winter Diary probably had a big budget (overseas filming, different costumes, locations, extras, fire guns and such) but in the end it was a pretty messy and forgettable, honestly never read someone praising that PV lol

23rd Monster and Haru yo Koi felt fresh somehow because we got a clear concept again, and with this preview now, we might be on the right tracks for good and memorable PVs again! just my personal opinion tho
