Dearest Video - Meeting Part

[fanmail]

Hi there

i was wondering if anyone knew what the dialogue / charts etc of the meeting between the "avex executives" say? i can't work it out

[AyuHamasaki01]

I guess they are talking about the sales and promotion?

[fanmail]

^ i gathered this, but like, what exactly lol. coz they had lots of posters and diagrams and such.

It's really hard to make out, but I hear:

"We need to make Ayumi Hamasaki the most popular..."

"Oh let's not ayuminize her ... that's the question, isn't it"

"But it might be easier to establish..."

On the white board, it looks like it says "Domestic sales" and "Foreign sales"




Under domestic sales it says something like

Sales as %, Local .......
2000 72%
2001 88%
Original Sales forecast ...

I always thought they said "But she's only[...]" at some point of it. I can't make out the end of it... I thought it was about her age; like, "she's too young, let's not push her too hard" and then someone would awnser (though I don't hear it lol) something "we-can't-afford-to-go-easy-on-her"-ish~~ but maybe I'm just hearing it wrong lol.

Its "dehumanize" not "ayuminize" hehe. Although I like the latter.

[AyuHamasaki01]

I think zoomzoom is right.

[fanmail]

thanks guys! i always loved this part of Dearest especially the part... where ayu just comes out and her image has completely changed. ee such a deep PV <3

[AyuHamasaki01]

Dearest is one of my favorite Ayu PVs.
I love it so much.

And when she is in that sort of "desert" field with those mills, is it me or was she crying? Because in one shot I could see a trace of a tear.... (4:58-5:06 minutes)

[apple-pi]

Yep, I'm pretty sure she cries at some point of that scene!
I love the PV now, but it took me a while to get used to (the first time I watched it, I thought it looked like one of those american comedy movies with a tad bit of lame drama mixed in it, lol. you know, like those movies about how the president's daughter runs away from home, etc...)

[AyuHamasaki01]

I will never get used to Born To Be... though.

In the acoustic version PV, you can see a close-up of Ayu and yes, she is crying.

[KuroixShiroi_Namida]

!!! This makes me want to watch the PV again!

Haha

Makes more sense..

[Rebirthia]

i never put much attention to that scene, there's been ages since i do not watch it... i'll recheck it later on...

[4ever*ayu]

One of the best PV of course...
But i never notice/interested on the background chatting before (until fanmail bring this up, lol).....I just concentrated on seeing ayu on the PV.. /^0`\

[A-TeensFan]

i don't like the original song PV, i prefer the acoustic piano version pv since it's simple & sad, like the song.
