Part of me PV! - Page 9

Score!

I found out what Ayu was wearing, and probably what she's trying to represent/be in the PV..

What she is wearing is a "juunihitoe" or 12-layered kimono.

Quote:

The costume of high-ranking ladies-in-waiting in the court from the Heian period ( 710-94 ) onward consisted of 12 or more layers. Colors passed down from olden times often come from the names of flowers and plants. Various hues of pink, for example, include sakura ( cherry blossom or pale pink ), momo no hana ( peach blossom or bright pink ), koobai ( dark pink plum pink ). Many tints of green are named after plants : wakakusa is the bright lush green of new grass in spring, aodake is the bright green of new growth bamboo, and oitake is the dark, grayish green of the mature bamboo trunk. Other color names come from plants grown specifically for dyestuffs such as benibana ( safflower ). One of the most favored colors of the Heian period was the bright yellow of the yamabuki flowers of a variety of rose ( Kerria Japonica ).

Historical tidbits in an Ayu PV?! D:

So now we know what it is..

Oh yes it does.

I just generally did not like the PV very much, especially not all the truly crappy CG-ing which seems to be common with this director. Makes it look like total crap.

The PV is definitely better than some of the clips she has released recently. It was beautiful to look at. There was a sort of message to it. I love the scenes with red Ayu. White Ayu was beautiful, except the lips of course. It totally ruined everything... Plus, Ayu was smiling while singing and it didn't looked good at all. I loved her outfits though. Kinda sad that she always have to have her dancers in her PVs. I'm quite sick of that Shuya guy. So ugly. Anyway. To conclude, it looked nice overally but it could've been a lot better though. At least the song is great. I don't want to listen to the song to often though... Don't want to be sick of it already... like JEWEL.

I think the PV would have been better if it was simpler.

When I saw Shu-Ya in the PV I immediately though "there's gonna be whining about the dancers again"... haha

.

I don't mind seeing them, but maybe some more new faces would be nice, too.

I really liked the PV, it had quite a great portrayal of emotions, like when Ayumi fell down. SHOCKING STUFF! The snake + grasshopper or whatever thing could have been avoided, though. x_x

I think Takahide and Ayu strived to create "art"~
IMO, it wasn't that complex.. it seemed pretty simple to me anyway. A tree with a background, and Ayu. With some random animals. :p

I love it!! though I don't really understand the pv XD

she looks so great here

Kodayumi · #**170** 23rd February 2007, 09:19 AM

i love the song, interesting pv, great combinations.

although i do not know why the blonde geisha thing, i still love it.

gogo ayu!

IYFreak · #**171** 24th February 2007, 06:15 AM

Well Ayu's hair is blonde at the moment

alternarist · #**172** 24th February 2007, 08:25 AM

ayu's face looked pink in the red kimono outfit. as if she jus dipped her face in hot water..

and ayu in her white kimono outfit reminded me of Misa from Deathnote.. ??!

anyway, i thought the PV was jus nice to watch but no story. but at the end i realise it was quite meaningful with SHUYA who finally earned a significant role in ayu's PV.. haha

but when ayu removed all the sticks from her hair and falls, it really shocked me. jus like she fired a gunshot into her head and drops dead. FREAKY! and also the extension of her hair looks as ayu is trapped in a giant spider web and the giant tarantula will be coming to devour her soon.. AHH!! my imagination is running wild!!

starting from "BLUE BIRD" PV, I knew ayu really liked SHUYA. He was the main character in "BLUE BIRD" pv too

Really nice to see her in a kimono, although the things she had in her hair - that looked like cheap plastic, kinda distracting. Others were dressed nicely as well, although I have no idea why they were there in the first place (what for?), except for Shuya's character.

Yep... A agree with the snake and for the bug. But the butterfly looked cute to me

... kyaa~ love red!
And yep, I love kimonos, it was all like "traditional japanese PV" or something like that, that`s why I like it. And I like those things in her hair

And if they do look plastic, it`s what Japanese wore in meiji era (if I am correct). So I thought it`s cool

My friend says it`s a stupid PV - the same Voyage.

So not true!

AyuGAME · #**177** 26th February 2007, 04:56 AM

lOvablexanq3l · #**178** 9th March 2007, 09:36 PM

to me, the MV was really pretty and she looked really pretty too. i thought shuya was really cute and i was glad that she picked him because i like seeing her with him xD. i didnt really like her wearing a white dress and with red lips, there was only one part that she looked pretty with the red lip. but overall it was really good ^^
