Favorite song that sadly had a bad PV?

I'm sure we all have a song that we love a lot by Ayu, but dislike the PV sadly. So name them out (sorry if this topic was made before. Close this thread if one was already made)

Daybreak
The arrangement and lyrics and vocals were great! The PV, not so great. Ayu is standing in a winding road singing to the camera. It was not interesting at all.

ANGEL'S SONG
Seriously Ayu, what happened? The PV was so cheesy and terrible. You can't help but giggle at the bad special effects xD

rainy day
This PV didn't have anything interesting happening in it either. I was expecting something more, dramatic xD

glitter / fated
I didn't really enjoy the whole story of it and all. It was interesting for a few minutes, but then just got really boring.

NEXT LEVEL
Such a great, beautiful song. Boring PV, at least some of the scenes are nice.

Sparkle
The 80's beginning thing was really cute. But then the latex was just so tacky and dumb looking. You can tell the director was forcing her to be sexy, but he was just trying too hard.

HANABI ~episode II~
The PV just didn't have a central idea, it just wasn't going anywhere.

JEWEL
It got boring a minute and a half through. It was just tiresome and boring to watch Ayu bath in jewelry.

I'll list more later, too lazy

usually, when songs are good, and they have a bad PV, it ruins the whole song for me! i start not liking the song as much..
I loved Sparkle, but liked it slightly less when i saw the PV. even though it was okay
(dont)leave me alone

Is this LOVE? .. the pv was decent, but not as good as the song

thank you for the thread! i've been looking for a thread similar to this to pop up... because I want to add my 2 cents. XD

For me... the biggest disappointment is (don't) Leave me alone. The song sounds so epic! truly one of the better songs from Ayu. In my opinion, they should have done something like My Name's Woman, but MORE epic x100. (D)LMA had the perfect ups and downs for a great music video. the bridge was also excellent. gahhh. instead, she just had this bob haircut and cheesy suit/skirts and walked in a frosty looking building. it was awful!!! the outfits... YUCK. cheap and yuck. i'd be embarassed if the music video was played in public tbh... like people would go "so that's ayumi hamasaki? meh"

er let me think

1) ANGEL'S SONG

what's the link of the PV with the song ? I still don't get it at all

2) Daybreak

3) (don't) Leave me alone

ugh so unfortunately low budget which sucks T_T

4) Born To Be ...

too much light

5) Voyage

6) glitter/fated

I don't really like PVs that have movie plots going on & that goes for Voyage & glitter/fated even though Shawn Yue's HOT xD

7) walking proud

OK for this one , I still don't understand the video & the concept to it . What's up with everything ? o_O

8) HANABI ~episode II~

it's too erm dark & plain

We had such a nice time. We started dating in t2m PV, took it slow you know, let our love grow. Then it got really serious in 2008. Then after AT2009 we moved in together. It was lovely. Then on AT2010 he asked me to marry him. He was such a sweet. And Ayu gave us our blessings. She was also such a sweet. Now me and Maro are such a sweets together. Aaaw, how time flies.

Someone on here did a great analysis of the (d)Lma PV. I recommend it for anyone who has misgivings about the video because it made me look at it differently--plus it made me like it. I'm pretty sure it's in the PV analysis thread.

As for some of the other posts on here, I think some of you may not be considering a simple PV as a good PV. For instance, I thought Daybreak was great. Simple, subdued, and really nice. That's a PV where the lyrics are really central, and so I think people who aren't fluent in Japanese won't get as much out of it because we're not really being shown a story. Instead, Ayu's singing the story. I always saw the Daybreak PV as her as the narrator of a story, sort of sharing her thoughts as she walks on a long, barren road. She's sort of still on a journey but she's come to this conclusion or something.

Then, of course, not every PV is going to be like Ladies Night, alterna, Mirrorcle World and ourselves... I kind of like it better that way. If every PV Ayu made was an attempt to be deep and philosophical it'd get pretty boring after a while, plus it would take away from the videos that WERE significant like that. Sometimes a music video is just a music video, meant to showcase a song. Nothing more. It's just a matter of what you like and what you don't, I guess.

The only PVs that bore the hell out of me are her summer song PVs, with the exception of fairyland since that was interesting. BLUE BIRD is my favorite Ayu summer song and I thought the PV was dull as hell. Beautiful camerawork and colors, but booooooooring. I'm sure people think I'm weird for that, but then again I think people who didn't like Endless sorrow are weird lol. How can you not like that PV? It's so good =( Same with Mirrorcle World. That ****'s all about the Singularity you guys~

Sparkle, agh, the song is awesome, but the PV is just cheap. Boo.

NEXT LEVEL and Pride, they could've done better than that, seriously. I wish she made a PV with storylines or at least some hidden message instead of walking around/driving around.

Born To Be...

The lighting was way too bright, and pretty much made the PV very difficult to watch. :/

All Kazusoyshi Shimomura PVs which are:

- Mirrorcle World
- GREEN
- Sparkle

Sadly, they are all great songs.

Also, Born To Be... was ugh. The only decent scene was when Ayu and the children were doing that 'When I grow up, I want to be a...' talk.

*Voyage - amazing song and nice way of promoting the film, but her looks and costumes were awful!
*Born To Be... - the concept was great but the light was too much. I could barely see ayu in some parts

TO BE: What's with all the psychedelia? It had such promising lyrics to build on!

HEAVEN: Black and white, train station, ok... With the whole shinobi background, the PV just falls flat on it's face.
