about Sparkle:
i was a little disappointed in her red suit thingie, it somehow reminds me of Fergie doing the funny stuff during 'That Ain't Cool'PV with koda kumi....very un-ayu like.

if only there are more about the 80's ayu, she's so cute!!!!!

about Curtain Call:
beautiful song and the pv was fine, but it's nothing amazing....
like a mixture of Dearest/Pride/Hanabi~Episode II

i loved both pvs!
sparkle is just HOT

curtain call is like pride ~ep II~ but much better !! and the song is just pure love !!

im a bit dissapointed at sparkle, cuz it reminded me on a lot western artists, but i cant say that i dont like ayu with dark hair, thats my fav part of the vid, ayu with dark hair! curtain call is nothin' amazing, but the song itself is amazing so im satisfied with ayu just walkin' around and singin' (but it reminded me on christina aguilera's voice within')

I love the Curtain Call song! But the PV was a little underwhelming. Maybe a little variation would be nice.

Sparkle was hot!! And really different. I love the contrast between 80s Ayu and hot Ayu. And those gas masks!

if you take a good look at the chart during Sparkle pv, you will see that all the top 3 songs are from ayu....Green and MW are up there too~~~

I thought Curtain Call (song and video) was a little boring. She always has at least one snooze-fest video that was made quickly for the album, so I don't really mind.

Sparkle was a lot of fun. I wish they did more 80s comparisons though. It just didn't tie in as well as it could've. It was also weird seeing her doing "sexy" things. Hopefully she's not going the Madonna route and just going to start spreading her legs all the time. That being said, I think we'd all rather see Ayu do it than great-grandma-donna, because Ayu is still young and beautiful...but even still.

Curtain Call's hand motions kinda annoyed me. I wanted to slap her for it. -runs away-
Sparkle was HOT! It was a bit weird seeing Ayu do those things but it was still entertaining. XD

Sparkle is very new and refreshing. Yea; it resembles some western artists.. but that's why it's cool to. I like the style. And I don't think you can call it "unayu-like". I mean, what is Ayu-like, then? Ayu has a different style every month or so

This is simply the next level. I'm glad it's a PV like no other PV she's done before!
Curtain call is kind-of simple. They created a nice set, just for one shot of Ayu walking and singing. However; the song is really nice, and the simple yet beautiful lyrics suit the video.

Sparkle: Refreshing, different and shocking too this is something new and I'm loving the 80s look it's so nice.

Curtain call: pretty PV, and I like the song, wish it was longer but it's nice as well.

chloeM · #10 18th March 2009, 01:24 PM

well... i just feel weird about how she walked in the Curtain call PV... if she walks in beat, it'll be nice

royle · #11 18th March 2009, 01:27 PM

Why is she walking so fast in Curtain Call PV ?? :S She should walking more gracefully.
She is wearing no shoe!! Maybe that's the reason she cant walk properly.

side note: The beginning of the song sounds like Mariah Carey's Without you to me. lol

Sparkle: It get;s abit boring when she keeps playing around in her red latex suit. I love it when it show;s "her shakey head". It is so cool.

and it is soo Ayu when the camera focus on her face and her BIG BIG eyes with her hand around. Its kind of like her signature in all her videos already.

Sparkle is a really cool PV, I really liked it, and there were some funny parts, I'm spazzing over them XD, give it to us ayu!

Curtain call is a really pretty love song and simple, just like the PV.
In this case it turned out to be good since I liked ayu's singing like it's a lice performance and it really had a magic into it.

I'm satisfied with both ^^.

jiarongisme · #13 18th March 2009, 02:35 PM

I'm okay with Sparkle. I'm glad there wasn't much of the AyuxDisgusting Red Guys. I LOVEEEEEEEEEEE Curtain call! The song and the PV. It's amazinggg~

fireworks501 · #14 18th March 2009, 02:58 PM

SPARKLE feels like the first fresh and new pv ayu has done in YEARS

it's MAJOR she is FABULOUS i love the sunglasses i love the electro and i like how it's playfully sexy, a bit taboo with the latex, i just LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

and curtain call is good, not bad, fresh and a good ballad. she looks fab in the black dress with hair slicked back and fresh makeup.

THUMBS UP

maikaru · #15 18th March 2009, 03:07 PM

The preview shot doesnt seem to be in Sparkle...
I couldnt find it!!~ it's better.
But I like the contrast between the 80s and then what she really wanna say..
It's like.. people see the idol and happy, but really, the idol is like red suit ayu.. ahaha
But I dont wanna watch it again~

I love Curtain Call so much!!
I love the song.. I started to cry..
I love the PV .. so simple.. and so touching.. I was crying~~~~
I hope she can perform this song sometime!!!

I really love Curtain Call, and Sparkle is okay.
I think Next Level is some of her best PV in a long time!!~

Nu-NRG · #16 18th March 2009, 03:27 PM

Sparkle: very entertaining and fun pv the 80's tribute is a little weird maybe it's like ayu wants to show us how this red ayu is the power in her as she is performing on stage?

Curtain call: another tribut pv to her older one? CAROLS/Pride/HANABI ~ep II~/Dearest/No way to say but still not too bad but could be more
dramatic I think ...
the style kinda reminds me of Smashing Pumpkin's Ava Adore MV
the whole filming inside setting thing

Kashoku · #17 18th March 2009, 03:51 PM

I hated them both lol. Sparkle was SO disappointing because it's my favorite song. I'm going to pretend it doesn't have a PV...as far as curtain call....It was just boring. and I felt like her walking fast was so inappropriate for the type of song. They should have had it slow motion or had her walking slower at least.

Faiza · #18 18th March 2009, 04:20 PM

I'm actually quite pleased with Sparkle's PV
wasn't a huge mess like I expected it to be
LOVE ayu being sexy

alternarist · #19 18th March 2009, 04:20 PM

i LOVE both PVs!!!!! but!!!

for Sparkle PV, i feel that the initial and final part where ayu was wearing a white skirt. This part was kinda redundant. I don't know what was the point ayu was trying to make. And it seems insignificant. So i would rather she left this part out.

Other than that, the red and purple spandex were PWN!!!

For Curtain call PV.. first of all, it was such a great song. The PV was simple. Cant deny it. But everything was so perfect until the final portion. When the curtain draws to a close, that would be a perfect ending for the PV as well as the song. I wonder why they wanna make it looks like ayu is producing a PV.

Well, other than that, the PV is excellent!!

Curtain Call:
I like it. She wears no shoes, so her walking is different than normal, but I like it and it suits the song so much, it's natural. And the dress is really nice.
The song itself is beautiful.

Sparkle:
Wow, I love it!
The contrast between 80's innocent Ayu and a modern sexy one - great.
She looks so damn sexy in the latex suits!

Love the style when she's wearing the suits.
And those sexy moves...I don't know from her, it's new.
I love it, but I'm sexed up myself I suppose.
