For someone who has followed Ayu for about 14 years, simplicity is such a refreshing attack.

^ Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this is the first time she ever stripped down all her layers of a diva to this extent. Simplicity here is not like Love again's simple concept; MIJ's simplicity is almost close to asfxx's vulnerability where all her walls of a diva is down completely.

Wonder how she chose video scenes for Mad World.
It starts from Stadium tour - I think it's her biggest live. Jewel - one of the most expensive PV. Concert tour 2000 - because it is first tour? vogue Far away Seasons video, Heaven (?), documentary from AT07 (?), Beautifil fighters

I am thinking of PVs like How beautiful you are and beloved. Mad World falls into that category I guess but Flower does not, for me.

IMO, Mad World is a PV about her carrer. She started small, was natural and all of the sudden, she was made into the diva we see today.. and maybe she wants to go back to her old ways and that's why she's crying.

right before the cut she seems to be running out of a hotel room, maybe possibly into the streets? i think it'd be cool if she lost more and more of her "petals" and finally died off
omg that is a refreshing perspective. No wonder she has butterflies on her body. SHE is the flower that was blossoming but now she just wants to strip all of that off

Oo, must have aired on TV.

Muto directed.

Some kinda crazy hyperventilating action in the shower.

Wish she could have broken the mirror by throwing the vase at it.

They probably used a real hotel room so we couldn't have had that happen anyway. Sadness.
