Ayu PV has degraded

[jasjasss]

is it just me or Ayu's PV quality has degraded.
Between 99-03 all her pvs are unique and has a good storyline or message behind it. Like OUrselves, VOyage etc.
However, just after MOMENTS which is 2004, her PV is degrading ..
from Inspire, to CAROLS to STEP you to fairyland and even HEAVEN (boring no plot).
Im so disappointed. i hope ayu will make a good PV next time ~


PS, what is with ayu and shirtless male dancers ... like in AT 06 and in the PV :S

I absolutely loved HEAVEN!
I think it's one of her best PVs! The moment when the lights go on and the wave of air blows into her hair... amazin! *__*

but HEAVEN is NOT her best. I agree her PVs have been kinda downhill... where's another Because of You or Ourselves?

She needs to keep Kouki Tange on staff full time. He should direct like every other video. (he did ourselves, because of you and alterna)

Oh, yes please! More Kouki Tanage. That guy got some serious talent . Do you know if there's any place I can see what other works he has done?

excatly.

I agree. Her PVs have been quite bad since "Moments". Except for "alterna" of course, which is her best PV ever made. "HEAVEN" and "STEP you" are acceptable. But the rest... Essh.

"alterna" was the greatest.

[mishidabo]

this is kinda hard to judge since most of us arent a movie director or anything close.. but i like ayu old pvs and new pvs.
her pvs are just different now.
i thought ourselves was a horrible pv ... also Voyage..( the whole movie was awful) so not all of them where so "great" like most people say, but eh.. thats my point of view

i think alternas was a piece of crap.. so there you go..just because you like it doesnt means that its good. or maybe it is.. and i'm just dumb and dont find the "beauty" in it

Why the attitude?

I was just saying that I thought "alterna" was her best PV... I like it, I think it's good. I really don't get why you're being mean....

[Dustie]

Actually, is this LOVE was really good too. >___>

But recently, yeah, she's sorta going down... I think it's the new directors... I gotta admit that vids directed by her long-time director (forgot his name) seem to be better (HEAVEN was one of them). Although not always, since my name's WOMEN was also directed by the long time guy, but didn't come out that good...

Wataru Takeishi.

He did fairyland and HEAVEN last year. :]

o___O STEP you was one of her bestest pv's

[truehappiness]

I'm not sure..

It's probably because most people worship alterna as her best recent PV since sliced bread xD

~_~ So he's probably like 'Well, I don't like it /anger'

I think it was good, but I thought most of her PVs were good this year.. even Startin' despite how LAME it was. It was well done xD

Yeah, well I don't know why there's all the attitude... I don't like "BLUE BIRD" and I don't go around saying that to people that likes it... And I don't really get angry because I don't personally like the PV...

"just because you like it doesnt means that its good."

I never said that everybody think it's good or must like it. I think the PV is great and that's why I like it...

[Dustie]

Becouse alterna was her bestest PV... >___>
It wasn't beautiful, it was hell ugly -- It was twisted, crazy, dark, gothic, unlike anything she's done before. She was really saying things to us using images, unlike many other of her PVs...

STEPyou was kinda boring IMO. is this LOVE? was more interesting to watch...

And my name's WOMEN, if I'm not wrong?...

I didn't mention it cause it was for the MY STORY album but yeah.

I think that guy who did CAROLS and is this LOVE? can go explode. [Same guy who did Startin'/Born to Be..]

Masashi Muto GRRRRRRR. Kouki Tange plz make more Ayu PVs! [Because of You, ourselves, alterna]

[the angel song]

I think what's happening is that a lot of her suck pvs (for me it's B&D, Pride, BLUE BIRD, Born to be..., startin') are starting to overshadow her decent/really great ones (Ladies Night, STEP you, rainy day, alterna, is this LOVE?). Too bad for most of us that feel this way, these suck pvs are released in consecutive order. :/

This ayu of 2006 is really depressing me. So much that I've been getting into cutesy boyband jpop. And that's desperate.

I got into H!P. >_< but I've discovered some good music though, tsunku IS a very good musician even though his girls aren't all that.
................................................
Allthough I agree that the quality of her PVs has been worse this year than last, I think 2005 was probably her best PV year ever (except for memorial address PVs perhaps). My name is woman was awesome, I just can't get enough of the dancing in the extended break, STEP you was entertaining and had such good music that I diden't need all that of a PV. is this love ? was beautiful and interesting, fairyland was beautiful, alterna was different, HEAVEN was tear jerking and emotional, B&D was just for fun and suited the NY funky diva style of the song perfectly.

Personally I diden't like all her PVs nor songs, but they were all "good" PVs.

OMG, I wanna too! Do you know some cute - or rather handsome - jpop boybands?... Just please, not ballads... I feel like every male asian singer sings ballads only 0_o
