okay, apparently what Japanese fans don't like is that Ayu's constantly using her lovers in her video materials. I think I agree with that, because, really, it's not very good, Ayu

other than that, I have rewatched my friend's again DVD for a couple of times, and I have come to conclusion that no, I do not like these new PVs. because they look very very cheap, I think, and kind of boring. the lightning is bad, the acting is even worse. like a 90s video, as someone pointed it out. like a very bad 90s video. I couldn't really watch Snowy kiss PV, no matter how I liked the song. because there were too many things meshed together on repeat in a 6-min video

Her talent is why I started listening to all her music back before Moments and Forgiveness. Her managers don't seem to realize she has talent and keep trying to drive sales in insanely stupid ways tat only succeed in driving away her fans.

Enough with Avex, find a way out of the contract, form her own label and show the talent she once showed and outsell every Avex artist. Because this is just getting to disgusting to buy anything since L.
lol first of all every person out there saying "if you say that you are not a real fan blah blah why did you type that" honestly are you kidding me saigodansu didn't even point a finger at anyone and said something that you don't have to agree with but makes a crapload of sense

i love ayu till the day i die but i'm not going to lie and be like "wow there's sooo many meanings in wake me up omg ayu please keep making fun trilogy videos with your boo" honestly i AM a fan, but i DO hope that if this flops it gives avex the wake me up call they needed to stop milking her like a cash cow

saigodansu, if you're reading this eff the haters cause we're both fans except our heads aren't stuck in the clouds. we accept that some will love this and some WILL HATE IT. geez... i think veterans like ayumisreal and truehappiness are the only people with fair opinions around here

The songs are all amazing. I really like them.

The PVs though are pretty dullsville, and I really don't like the use of domestic violence as a plot point in her songs. I guess it feels cheap and tacked on, which isn't really fair for such a serious issue.

She looks nice in all 3 PVs but the story is so basic that it hurts - I miss the days where even simple stories could be powerful like how you can read the story in RAINBOW as one of self-acceptance. So simple but so moving.

Ayu's character is with a foreign guy who fans take as Mannie, she demonises him as uncaring and then cheats on him instead of just calling it quits. Who is really the sympathetic character here? When her words are about the difficulty of moving on from disappointment and being let down, she is pictured doing something the average person would find just as cruel. I feel really confused about the whole thing and I'm not sure where she can go to from here.

She's been divorced for almost as long as she was married - how much longer is this issue going to keep popping up? I thought Return Road was the end of it and You & Me seemed like the start of a new bright era for Ayu but she seems trapped in whatever period of disappointment (?) she had with Mannie and just keeps harping on about it when it only seems natural that she should be making fun, happy videos or at least something uplifting now that she has a new lover. Not making dramasone PVs about cheating on a former lover stand-in with her new IRL lover.

I really miss the feeling of Ayu being in control of the world around her. Her PVs are a bit of a hot mess at the moment and I'm not getting the magic out of them that I used to.

Bah, so confus.

I wouldn't use the word garbage. But I agree with you the way Ayu had been lying to us lately makes me very sad. That relationship with Mannie looks like it was all a lie and now this one with Maro looks the same way. Sadly Japanese fans lost the respect they have for her. Nobody likes to be lie to. You can say ayu can do whatever she wants is her life. Then Japanese people will do whatever they want and not buy her music. I'm worry for Ayu. Before when I used to read saigodansu's post I would say he is overreacting or there he goes again talking about a publicity stunt. But now is not just him is him and the Japanese fans too.

Her PVs have been really hit or miss for a long time, since like.. MY STORY.

'again' PVs are rather disappointing, but I know she has the potential to wow us again.

If anyone has the again pvs in HD/DVDrip/HQ, I'd be so happy if anyone reuploaded them; the links at the download section are removed by mediafire :/
