I think Shuya's smile added a bit more creepiness IMO...it was fitting for his characteristic. And the white eyed glares from the other dancers...*shudders*

I agree....even though his smile is freaky and ugly but it made the pv more creepy..he looked like he could be a serial murderer or something.

It was alright. Definitely not her best PV ever but still decent. I really like the direction and feel of the whole PV; the dark house to the wind to the way Ayu was tossing and turning. The whole "oh look we're puppets with scary eyes" bit got old really quickly though. I love the way they came alive though: eyes all broken.

The ending was a little stupid though. Ayu and co. all have this look in their faces like, "Bwahaha, we fooled her." Err, what? Like they HAD to pretend to be puppets and now they're ~alive~? So what? They're still tiny...I think a better ending would've been like this: Ayu leaves the room, closes the door. As she closes the door behind her and looks ahead: WHITE DRESS PUPPET AYU stands right in front of her. Real Ayu looks shocked. Zoom in on real Ayu's eyes, which then become all white and plastic. Real Ayu turns into the marionette; puppet Ayu has broken free. Cliffhanger! Of course, that's just me.

I do like Ayu's sense of style in this PV though. Both the white dress and the brown outfit were nice. And I really am loving that hair.

I actually like your ending better than the one in the PV.

Cool idea! It could've still worked with the whole 'ayu's inner self waking her up from depression' because that puppet ayu could've been the 'ayu that broke free' in a literal sense AND add to the creepy factor.

I don't know why but I don't like this PV, I like (don't) leave me alone more than this. The song wasn't as great as I expected and the PV was pretty boring. I didn't get the end where they look like they were about to party and also Shuya's gross smile. Yuck!

agreed ..and certainly it did not ruin the mood of the pv.

it was quite nice..not amazing but it's way better than the pv of glitter+fated+t2m..like the atmosphere and costumes but if the ending can be more defined it would be great..and impactbreaker' interpretation makes great sense; in the end the truth is finally able to take it's mask out.

Woooo, I really liked it. Fit the mood of the song very nicely. Ayu's appearance and movements as a puppet were awesome. I also loved how she looked in that outfit with the vest. Her appearing in the TV was kind of random, though. And while the ending was amusing, I think it should have ended on a scary note, like the way Ourselves did.

Yes. The "TV Ayu" looked fairly out of place. What was with the newsboy hat? I would've appreciated a more timeless look.

The real/non-miniature Ayu could've looked more surprised or at least fascinated by the marionettes.That's one of my main gripes.

I feel this PV and Together When... are the two most interesting PVs from the album. A little plot or eerie twist (think the faceless Ayu clone in Ladies' Night) would've spruced it up, but the choreography is pretty great. I especially like how the guy lifted Ayu in the air towards the end.

^Yeah, I thought that was a nice move. I like the dancing, because it was...well, actually nice and have a certain non-poppy element to it that I enjoyed. The eyes really freaked me, and Shuya's smile reminds me of a clown, but it's a good PV.

Although the TV was kinda random.
