Looks like she just rented TeamLab in Odaiba and basically shot it in one room changing the background. Doesn't even look like professional camera, more like shot with a phone. I don't mind this song and video existing but I don't understand it, looks so unnatural and the fake crying is faker than ever before.

Ayu, in a big room, with dancers twirling around her…with hand-in-front-of-face over acted pose “dancing”… with some aggressive walking or “crying”—or both lol.

It’s literally the same concept… right? Am I crazy? Lol

MASK is colorful and interesting to look at, but suffers from the same thing her other new videos do, IMO.

But, I do like the song so I guess that’s good haha.
I only thought about it being similar to Nonfiction with all that walking but now that you mentioned it, Haru Yo was also in this fake room.

She has been in this industry a long time and it actually amazes me how she hasn't improved her acting skills, especially when it comes to fake crying.
I think it's getting worse and worse. It was so bad during one concert in the Just the beginning tour chapter 3, I don't remember if that was Kobe or Nagoya, but ever since it amazingly gets worse and worse. Like she lost any taste in what looks good and what is too much.
