hbya PV

[pepper]

What's your opinion? I will sugest with +/-

Pluses
-I started cry at the end so badly that I am ashamed of it ~_~ It doesn't matter if the song (I still think so) it's a little cheap sounding... But the PV made cry so... it's amazing
- Beautiful people... I don't care about Ayu in this PV, people in this PV are just amazing.
- The dress made her even more skinnier than she is, the dress is beautiful.
- IT'S NOT BORING!

Minuses
- The wig is sooo obvious.
- Too bad it's b/w. I would love to see these people in color.

[Chibi-Chan]

I also started crying at the end. This PV is full of emotions and really touching, love it!

[pepper]

... I am still crying. xD

[Chibi-Chan]

^I watched it again... and I'm also crying again... xD

[Tom Punks]

I think everyone cries at the end lol.

Ayu kinda looked like a drag queen... I was more insterested on the people on this video, they were all very interesting...

my thoughts exactly: drag queen definitely came to mind. first thing I thought was what the hell is she wearing?! you'd think with all the gay guys on set someone would have the nerve to tell her to stop. there was just way too much going on. the boots made her look stumpy (with the dress), the nails, the fit of the dress...

+
there are so many opportunities for amazing screenshots of the people featured in this PV.
those two boys - especially the one on the right XP
I applaude the effect of initially showing us the "normal" side of the people featured and then the latter, which made us realise our misconceptions.
the shots of the people's feet/legs.
those two boys. again. if anyone's made a wallpaper of those two please let me know! XD

-
Ayu's get up
cinematography mostly when it revolved around Ayu. not flattering at all; I think a medium to closeup would've been much more poignant.
overkill with the fans

[isthisLOL?]

Ayu was the weakest aspect of the video, surprisingly. She was acting weirdly, her wig looked like she stole it from Nicki Minaj. But I still loved it so much I even wrote a blog entry especially about it lol

[noola chan]

And i am crying now T_T
I love u Ayumi .. u are so beautiful!
This is so emotional I really love it..
It would be nice if it was colored but still that doesn't affect the pv awesomeness

[Bad Wolf]

I've yet to watch it, but seeing your reactions to it make me excited for the possibility of another heartfelt Ayu PV.

[TeamAyu2004]

why is everyone crying? there is nothing to cry about.
It is a very beautiful video, but thats it.

People cry because of it's beauty. At least I did. The visuals and the song together just created that emotional response from me.

Because we don't appreciate of what we have, in front of people that have much worst problems. It may be symbolic (cause it's a music video) but the proteg leg or having a dwarfism is not acting (and I'm pretty sure there was a blind man out there), that's why it's moving me to cry. And all I can say, indeed, they are beautiful no matter what.

[tenshi no hane]

I didn't have the urge to cry but I can understand that some people might do.

I like the concept and I love how big the dress became. But her wig looked soooo cheap And her hands looked eerily thin, old almost.

All in all I think it's a nice PV, but Ayu's (imo) plastic look clashed with the raw beauty of the other people.

RAINBOW makes my heart ache - Endless Sorrow and HEAVEN bought tears to my eyes. I think people "crying" is a bit over-dramatic, because it makes you think of someone sobbing and blowing their nose through a whole tissue box

I think it's a really touching message, the first two couples made me think back to RAINBOW - they look so similar that it bought me back to the "who I am and who I want to be" message I got from that video.

The other couples show that love comes in many forms, and about being loved isn't limited to sex, age, ability etc...that others can see the beauty in us when even we cannot

Ayu's probably the weak point in this PV - her nails look a bit too cruel for this PV - they wouldn't looked rockin' if she used feathers again and I wonder what it would look like if she was transparent, acting like a supportive spirit as the other people move forward?

I kind of wish that the old guy from kanariya and Endless Sorrow came back to her PVs, I miss him and he's got the look for this type of PV...maybe bring the kid from Endless Sorrow back too. Their performances have stuck with me for years, so I'd like to know what happened to them!

[zellyx]

The visuals and song made me so emotional...
It was just..wonderful and heartfelt..

The message is simple, but something we usually don't see done too often! Somehow, it can be overlooked. I love how the video wasn't only about LGBT acceptance, but about acceptance of all people. That everyone has something that makes them beautiful

The climax of the song made me feel warm inside One of her best PV's in a very long time.

[Yumi(e)]

Pluses
+ Concept
+ Not boring
+ So fu*king emotive
+ Random people... not so random♥

Minuses
- Ayu and her skinny body D:
- Wig looks weird
- Pink wig for nothing xD

[love in music]

the message is great but i agree ayu is the worst part of the music video. she actually kind of ruins it for me. i wish she would have been more natural in the video as it would have fit a lot more than her dressing up like a plastic barbie and doing those diva hand movements. overall it was just really predictable which made it boring for me.

[Luja.]

It's one of my favorite music videos ever, no lie. The featured people are very different, very real (if you know what I mean) and.. it's really awesome. I love it from start to end.
It kind of reminded me of Born to be... PV but I think it's better this one's in black and white. Supports the arrangement in my opinion.
It's really really special. The only minus for me are ayu's nails, I don't like them so much. And yeah, wig was obvious. But who cares, the rest of it and the message and ayu as the singer are so beautiful!
EDIT: Oh and another plus are the background vocals. It might not be that outstanding to you guys but I think they are... well yeah, outstanding. It's Timmy chanting, isn't it?

[sinfonietta]

The first minute I found boring - after that I really started to get into it and enjoyed it. All the different people in it were fascinating - and the ending is touching. Didn't cry though. My father is in the room and he would mock me for months if I cried over a music video or anything, for that matter. Overall? I really love it despite my initial impression. I actually think the PV itself is better than the song.
