i didn't like the swing bit very much, it gave me a headache

I would have loved to seen that in the video.

Ayu is always constricted in some sound stage or a closed set ... we never get to see her outside like this ... it would have been really beautiful.

It's because the gust ruined her hair. At least that's the official word. I thought it was nice too; no wonder the CAROLS pv looked a bit 'cheap' in production compared to the other ones, not saying it was a bad pv though.

I watched the clip. Was it just me or was Ayu a bit scared to get on the swing. Maybe she's a bit afraid of heights? She didn't seem very happy, but put on a brave smile.

I liked the swing seen too, shame it didn't make the final cut

yeah! i noticed her face expression was kinda like

"i can do it!"

I loved that part, but I think it sounded better with just the instrumental then it would have with Ayu's vocals. As much as I would have liked to see it in the PV, it was pretty just like that.

gothicia · #10 3rd January 2005, 12:25 PM

i like the swing too. i wish it's in the PV

lolo66 · #11 3rd January 2005, 02:26 PM

I remeber this being discuss before. I still agree with the decision to cut it. It will be a bit too much.

extepan · #12 3rd January 2005, 02:41 PM

yeah it would be nice to see it in the final cut, but i guess they decided that ayu's hair was too messy in that swing set

I loved the Carols PV, but I think the swing scene would've been a nice addition. Besides the reference to the cover of the single, I just think it'd tie in with the song realy well.

hana_sanctuary · #14 3rd January 2005, 09:54 PM

I would have actually prefered the swing scene to have been in there... no offense to anyone, but imo the CAROLS PV was just... really boring. o.O I tried to like it--- I really did- but it never grew on me. At least with the swing thing, it would have been a little more interesting ((and would have related to the cover art, too)). Meh. But if it ruined her hair, it ruined her hair.

I heard somewhere that there was a scene cut from the CAROLS video because the weather wasn't agreeing with the set and Ayu's hair. Then I saw the DVD and went, "Ah, that must have been what was cut." It would have been really pretty.

HanabiChick · #16 4th January 2005, 03:13 PM

Would have been nice to see that in the PV, I thought it was probably dropped because it didn't fit in with the rest of it. I thought it wouldn't be so bad if it was in the PV, it looked good.

_CREA_ · #17 4th January 2005, 09:22 PM

^ I think it would have fit in...random carousel vs. random swing? At least the swing relates to the cover, and if there's a carousel, there can definitely be a swing.

elepop · #18 4th January 2005, 11:07 PM

Well, it's not because you shoot something that it automatically gets on the PV. If they shoot it and like it, they are gonna use it. I guess they didn't really like the swing part. I think it could've been better than the 'carrousel' part. It makes more sense with the actually single cover.

LEMONed 05 · #19 4th January 2005, 11:19 PM

Like everyone else said, I really loved seeing that part of the shooting. I think it would have been amazing in the PV, but since they didn't decide to add it, I'm glad we atleast got the chance to see it.

As for Ayumi being scared of heights, I really don't see how that's possible. Throughout her concert tours, she's constantly defied gravity on swings and crystal balls...maybe she was afraid she was so tiny she was going to get knocked off by the wind.

Catzi · #20 6th January 2005, 03:07 AM

Maybe she's not afraid of heights, but, instead, was afriad of the swing. I mean, it looked like it was tied to a weak looking branch. It could have snapped! O.O
