Looks kind of like california to me
and theres a sign in the restaurant with the burger lady with some california sign?
the tree's also look like cali trees, and street signs too (well definately US)
cant make out the license plate too well, but judging from the blurrness doesnt look like it cant be either
any one know?

The mailbox also says "US Mail". Either they just made it look very much like the US or they simply went there to film it.

We will probably know when the making is released

As avex searched for people for this PV on their website I doubt it´s filmed in the US.

Usually when she goes overseas for a PV, that location is extensively used/incorporated into the PV (e.g. Appears, fairyland, Bold & Delicious/Pride, BLUE BIRD).

But that's not to say she doesn't always... I don't think she had the time (concert + going to film BLUE BIRD PV) but it does look like America...

It really looks like California, unless there is a place in Japan with palm trees. Unless those are props? And you must not forget there are alot of Americans in this one too.

yea, then i remembered she is still on tour,
but a flight to the states is only like 12 hours away
the blue bird PV's location doesnt realli look like japan either !

She didnt go to US... 1) it would be much cheaper to film it in Japan (She had like dosens of other people in the PV, airline tickets would be expencive for that manye ppl)
2) They would probably have photo shoots at the location, and there havent been any..

there was once a rumour that said that GUAM Island was the place for ayu to shoot the BLUE BIRD PV..

we'll know if we got the CD+DVD..
they must mention about the place..

It really seems so. I belive she took a few days vacation in the middle of the tour, between some of the performances, to also go shoot footage for the BB PV.

Guam isn't really 'overseas' though, just a few hours by plane from Tokyo... Somewhere in the Pacific... I know it's a popular tourist destination for Japanese people though... And the scenery in BLUE BIRD PV looks really Guam'ish

When I first saw the BLUE BIRD PV I wondered if she'd filmed it when she was in Hawaii last year. I mean, her haircut now looks so similar to the way it did in the Fairyland PV...anybody else notice that? Maybe she filmed both PVs there in Hawaii but didn't release BLUE BIRD until this year (though I doubt it).

I noticed in the Beautiful Fighters PV a billboard that said "Cuyahoga" on it and Cuyahoga is in Ohio. I suppose there may be other places named Cuyahoga in the world, but I found this interesting because I'm originally from Ohio. I seriously doubt the PV was filmed anywhere near Ohio, but I wonder why that particular billboard was included? Curious....

People seem to think that the BLUE BIRD pv was filmed in Guam, because there's many locations that does not at all look like Hawaii in it.

Maybe, maybe not, if it wasn't they sure made it thoroughly look like it was shot in the US.

That's for sure. Most of the people certainly look like they could be American or European.

And by the way, the large bald guy sitting in the restaurant (lifting his utensils up and down) is just gross. I hope the makers of this PV don't consider his type to be a typical American. I have never seen anyone acting like that in real life. I suppose his actions were exagerated for effect, but still...yuck. No wonder Kayano-chi flipped out and dumped all the food on him.
