I don't like this PV... I like the setting... But it seems as if she didn't do anything with it... She just walked... It was boring, and the mix (HALS MIX) sucks so theres really no way I could enjoy the PV...

[JimmyKoria]

Yeah it was an awfully boring pv, whos idea was it to shoot such a boring thing.

[evolutionricky]

yeah it is kinda boring.

[CT_Cool]

hmm thought this pv wasnt as gud as her rest, tend not to watch it very often at all.

[Unimatrix Prime™]

I don't think it was a horrible PV. I just think it needed a bit more variety, but it was alright.

[ImpactBreaker]

Thought it was unique. I think that PV is so I dunno.....It's like that road was a place for a car accident or a terrible murder. I just have this feeling, and ayu is like a ghost just coming to haunt at the camera and then disappears into the myst. I like it

I think many of you take for granted the symbolic things that occurred in this PV. Symbolic things don't have the be "in your face."

I'll take a quote from the post about INSPIRE

Ayu should be disappointed that most of her fans hate the video ALREADY after seeing it at a horrible quality.

you people really think Daybreak was a good PV? x_x... I can make a list of why that PV sucks...

1. They use "HALS MIX"... WTF? Ugh... Horrible mix...
2. Boring.
3. Cheap.
4. Ayu overdone with eye makeup/bad clothing.
5. Weak.

Now INSPIRE is much better.

1. Actually has some sort of plot.
2. Is entertaining.
3. Ayu looks hot.
4. The choreography is great.
5. The song is great.

It's rather funny that you would like a video that has flashy things rather than something that doesn't. Daybreak itself isn't suppose to have Ayu dancing around with little people in a flowery field.

You stated that it was "cheap". Do you mean budget wise? Cause first of all, for a PV to be good, it doesn't mean a lot of money needs to be spent.

You "ugh" at the mix they used. The mix they used suited the song more than the original. It's not a song that should have a faster beat nor harsher instruments. It's suppose to be a soft feel to it with a bit of sorrow.

You said something about the eye make-up. Please read my take on the PV Daybreak below.

The PV begins with a road and a figure in the distance slowly walking towards you. The figure finally comes into view. She almost appears like a ghost with the flowing material from her costume. As she begins to sing she states that she's lost her face. This is why I believe that the make-up was so dark for her eyes. It really brought a dramatic darkness to her, almost a ghostly feeling. I truly think the make-up is to represent her lost face like the lyrics state.

Later in the PV after the first chorus Ayu states that Light and Darkness are the same thing. At this time small streaks of light play into the video lighting certain parts and then going back to darkness.

I believe that the road that we see represents Ayu in her journey to find her 'face' and the person that she's travelling she and the person once dreamed of. I think that the road is meant to be dark because it shows that darkness is hard to get through yet she continues to walk. That's why in the end, she turns back around to continue fighting for that dream.

I could have typed that up better but I didn't lol.

I still think that people look at this and don't see anything that's flashy nor exciting and label it as stupid and lame. Which is pretty sad =\

[leafyamazaki]

It was a very unique PV.
And what I noticed was what Ayu was wearing was somewhat similar to what the ppl were wearing on Free & Easy's PV.

[LEOyumi]

I love this PV. I love her style, the setting is very beautiful and it fits the song. Like it very much ^^'

[edit]I loved hikari's explanation ^^"[/edit]

[ayumi_pukka89]

I don't get why people have to be no negative towards it. Yes it may seem simple. But Ayu did it that way for a reason. If the song was fast or she danced or whatever than that wouldn't fit what Ayu was trying to get across. Ayu doesn't make PVs to necessarily please everyone to to show off a lot. She weaves a real meaning into all of her videos. I don't dislike any of her PVs. (To sound really sappy. It comes from her heart.) I know that her music is true to her and she feels strongly about so I appreciate that she doesn't slap together a really flashy video.

That's all. ^_^

I dunno about you guys but i just liked the video because i just thought it had a nice atmosphere also when i first heard that mix that setting came into mind (a road in the early morning). It was very freaky when i first saw the video since i had that same image in my mind.

Oh gosh.



Did you have to.

Why so vague? Who are you referring to?

[weijie22]

i dont like it nor hate it..
besides it is one of ayumi pv

[ll moments ll]

i thought it was a bit on the boring side.
yes, i did understand what the PV was about, but for me i like a bit more action.
its just i can't stand seeing the same thing going on and on.

[Mitkki]

I love the Daybreak PV, I've watched it for hours before. I also like H/\L's mix better than the original mix.

I rather liked H/\L's Mix. Then again, you and I have very different tastes.. *cough*

Mm, anyway, I liked it. Most would say it was boring -- I would've said the same thing at first -- but I think it's actually one of my favorites after many watches. There's something about it that I like a lot. Maybe it's because Daybreak is one of my favorite songs, and I always love H/\L remixes.. Yes, well, I liked it. So nyaaa.
