Your all-time favorite Ayu's music video

If we have a thread for songs, why not for PVs ?...


For me, it's always been alterna. I never get bored watching this, and I'd watch it every day. Absolute perfection. That's how ideal music video should look for me. Kouki Tange is such a genius. ourselves would go as my second favorite and it's his direction too. My other beloved ones are 1LOVE, Endless sorrow, Moments and RAINBOW. Oh, and I have a soft spot for momentum and Together When...


How about you?

my most favourite is forgiveness.
I love fantasy themed videos, and forgiveness CG is well made imo. Nothing ridiculous or awful neither lol.
Another one is Endless Sorrow Idk why, but I burst into tears when I watch it. Every single time . Has a powerful meaning, and I like it despite Ayu appears just once.

Still staying with Is this LOVE?, best song and PV. Love Ayu's look, hair, clothes, all the effects (slowing down, explosion), love the ending, I still cry when the car crushes instead of killing the boy, each time I watch the video (ok, maybe not cry but it's breath taking!) More videos so well thought over, Ayu!

Alterna would be second

Rainbow on third (although the running scenes are slightly boring, but the concept, the beginning and the ending is awesome)

Endless Sorrow fourth place (wish, there was more Ayu, but the scene at the end is a masterpiece, even though I know this PV by heart I always stare at her neck as if by the 1001st watch a scar would really happen to appear there ) I also believe for Ayu fans this should be the most meaningful and important song and PV connecting them directly with Ayu. She's our "one wing left" right? Apart from the A symbol, it's the second most important one she had tatooed on her back, the one wing that's left. I love this PV so much <3

I have a lot.

is this LOVE?: really cool video. all the explosions around her.
JEWEL: so pretty! and beautiful! ayu would make the most beautiful ballerina.
Real me: all the rainbows. *_* and I'm so proud of her for doing her first dance pv, the dance looks hard to learn. It's really eye catching
STEP you: the 4 version of ayu are nice, the tin man is really cool too and I love the dark feel of the video
walking proud: dislike the song, but I love the video, the scenery is just so beautiful and intricate.
Sparkle: sex.
Rule: The dancing is amazing! the guys are hot too.
Lady Dynamite: sex. again. the guys are hot. again.
Because of you: such a sad video, I love the hurt feeling behind it.
Startin': even though it's a parody, "making fun" of western culture, I find the video really fun!
forgiveness: CGI at it's best. O_O
ourselves: such a twisted video, it's wicked to watch and makes you feel like there's a part of ayu we don't know. I love how different it is.
HANABI ~episode II~: I love the raw emotion put into this, when ayu is all crying and pouring her heart out into the song. almost a tear jerker for me.
Curtain Call: Such a simplistic video, such a simplistic song, such a good combination and, imo, couldn't end an album any better.

appears, GREEN, and Don't look back are all tied for my all-time favorites.

appears has a simplicity about it that I love, GREEN has a Chinese motif (and I LOVE Chinese motifs / otherwise Asian motifs), and Don't look back is just stunning (and kinda creepy).

BALLAD = A beautiful tragedy..

You were.. I know its not one of Ayu's best PV's but i really love the snowy christmassy theme used here and her dress is just.. WOW.

Rule Japanese themed. I really love this PV, especially the parts where ayu is wearing the silver gloves, she looks beautiful there \^o^/

Alterna for me! I was actually shocked at how alternative and dark the video was the first time I saw it, always impresses me that a pop artist like Ayu would do a video like that.

I always liked Real Me as well for some reason (can't beat those colourful dance routines!)

There is so many, I love them all, I must say also I really like the Next Level video, sweeping aerial shots, droooool.

alterna: it owns. It owns the world. Everything. This pv. The theme. The motif. The visual. The deep meaning. I can talk about it like a Dickens or Poe masterpiece. Its really meaningful to me and imo definitive and powerful of ayu

Forgiveness: her most beautiful (along wih jewel). This really creates an awesome surreal and magical world. Its just epic like the song

JEWEL: what can I say. Priceless beauty...and diamonds really are a womans best friend in this case

Startin: omg its so funny and cool. An ayu vid that makes me laugh. Especially the guys at the beginning and end. Love lol

walking proud: for some reason. The strange simplicity. Like one set little world. Is really nice in this video. Just a lovely, different video.

kanariya: its awesome. The visuals awesome. Just like the peculiar lyrics of the song

About you and GAME: both are dark and reaaaaally cool. Very nice looking. Quite perfect

Hanabi ~episode II~: it makes me cry honestly. Its sooo fitting with the song in the most perfect way. Its captivating

Ladies Night: pure amazingness. And creepy too

Free & Easy: I never really thought she was lookin to hot in this video but its okay. Joan of Arc wasn't focused on being a beauty.
Its breathtaking anyhow. The people. The symbolism. This is a perfect modern interpretation. I always wonder if there couldve been a different way to interpret her burning at the stake besides the burning in the video. But it they wouldve used real flames or something birghter it wouldve ruined the darker color scheme of it all

Real Me: I LOVE it. Colorful. Fun. Creative. Awesome. Simply awesome.

Ourselves: easily one of my favs. I don't need to explain

Because of You: its powerful and makes my cry. Lovely story. So sad and meaningful

Microphone and Mirrorcle World: she's beautiful and I'm aware borh are different. But I love both settings and the emotions she gives

Sexy little things: boy oh boy was that's an awesome video
