Ayu's Curtain call VS Sara Bareilles' Gravity PV

i saw Sara Bareilles' Gravity PV this morning and i just realized that it's so similar with ayu's Curtain call. even the random umbrella part is there too lol
this video was released in february 09. i don't want to stir arguments here, just want to share to you guys.

I've never even heard of this person...and I don't like the song that much...but what a gorgeous PV! Kicked Curtain Call's butt. It reminds a little bit of Curtain Call but not that, that much....just a tiny bit

Eh, not very similar. The 'walk slowly towards the camera dramatically' thing is actually very common. Umbrella is just a coincidence, lol.

wow that was so beautiful. I favorited that. I think I like it more than curtain call. but not sure. some things were similar

single shot
umbrella thing
stop and the camera does a 360 around her.
constant walking towards the camera

but idk. curtain call is too simple of a pv. I'm sure there are tons of other mvs out there that did the same thing. its like saying someone stole ayu's idea for daybreak cause in the video, the entire time someone is standing on the side of a road singing while the camera never changes scenery.

only thing that annoyed me is that this video was sloppy. i know it was supposed to be space but not space at the same time. it was just a little too sloppy for me. but still very beautiful. I do like it.

Yes kind of similar to curtain call. but again the idea is too simple and basic to not see it used anywhere else in the music industry.

Mj's Stranger in Moscow MV has an umbrella-walker in it too. In fact, I think there may have been more than one. *I have Alzheimers* (not really, but it feels like it sometimes...)

this kind of PV, i mean by walking and walking for the entire video..guess that it's been done long long long long time ago by many artists...
and i think Ayu is kind of inspired for it~

It's not the most original premise so I doubt that its more than coincidence but I actually like that song and the MV.

For those who haven't heard of her, you might remember if you heard the song "Love Song" it was really popular last year but she's basically a one-hit wonder. I hated that song.

next level was released march 25, 2009, as well as the curtain call pv.

this was february 09.

I'm not saying one inspired the other but she shot this before Ayumi!



but for my two cents maybe same director? I like the walking through a movie set theme... but yes it's been done before

Mmm, she did Winter Song with Ingrid Michaelson~ loooooooove that song.

It's a nice music video. More complex than Curtain call with all the lights and random people running back and forth.. but eh. I wouldn't say one is better than the other though.
