Actually, I gotta admit that is the first thing I thought. It's great though; I love the concept. What I hate is that they are doing promotion (finally!) for an *album, even though it's not an album, lol

I really loved this CM. It's like Ayu is slowly taking over the whole city, but unlike Namie's Feel CM that is visually similar, it's not a happy or a celebratory take over, but as she was some kind of ghost or something as people are still living they everyday lives while that happens, as there are no music playing and the sounds of the city doesn't cease. The fact that we only see parts of the billboards in the corner of the buildings instead of the whole thing directly focused by the camera algo gives this feeling of a discreet unoticed take over until it's already all over the place.

I found it to be kinda dark, in the best way possible.

I don't think she released such an interesting promo since the Love songs one, or even the A Complete Who... CM.

^It does remind the FEEL CM visually, but the concepts are very different.

^It starts with with a black background and ayu singing Who chorus a capella while the lyrics appears written in white

"I pray that this singing voice/will reach you.../I pray that this singing voice/will reach you..."

Them the instrumental started, the covers were shown and the narrator announced the album.

I just loved how they picked up the lyrics for this and made a whole CM about Ayu's voice reaching people.

I like the CM, but it's a shame all the comparisons to FEEL. That was like 5 years ago and it's not like this type of concept hasn't ever been done before.

It's pretty different in a way but there's a concept with a Billboard and city too: https://youtu.be/5ags5f565go

I am aware of the fact, though, that ayu's and Namie's are much more similar to each other.

I guess I meant more of the concept of using billboards as the focus and not just in ads. I can't remember specifically because it's been a while, but I know I've seen a couple music videos that use billboards like that. But I do agree Ayu's and Namie's ads are similar, though the tone is definitely different.

So, in fact, Namie wasn't the first to do so, BUT, yeah, TROUBLE and FEEL's looks very similar. I just think, whoever came up with that idea, just set Ayu up to be dragged.

Another interesting thing about the CM:

The thing of the outdoors appearing one by one slowly without much fuzz. The whole promotion for Trouble so far was like that. Out of nowhere there was a new insta video, and a demo, and posters with parts of lyrics in stores.

If Billboards actually starts appearing slowly until they fill the buildings in real life, that would be fucking amazing.

I thought of FEEL directly too. I'm sorry, this is not for the pleasure of criticize Ayu but you have to admit the comparison is easily done. Concept are very similar too.

What? You didn't see Tokyo in 2001 when "A BEST" was released and the city was IRL covered with her face! That's what this CM reminds me of...I'll have to dig up the pics.
