Yeah.
There´s no need for mucg action, but a story whould be nice like in Moments or No way to say.

I still liked the PV, but that doesn't effect my thoughts about that more could have happened than her sitting still or catching a leaf

.

I still believe in my death-theory which I posted here before... That someone close to her has died and that's what the tree's withering and flowers crying is all about. Thinking it that way, the whole PV becomes a strong scene.

Don't get me wrong, I also liked the "jewel's-don't-matter-as-much-as-you" -theory.

I've read the lyrics and I think she express what she sais with jewels.

immel · #**124** 21st November 2006, 12:29 PM

Story/plot or not, it was still not very action filled,

.

I don't believe in any theory this far really. I stay by my first impression that she's singing about something that's precious to her, whatever/whoever it may be.

Well, the reason why I like theories is because I desperately want to know what she is trying to tell us. We all know Ayu: she's definetly saying something, whether it is something simple or complex. Yes, she singing about something precious to her, but is there more than that? I want to know... Of course sometimes "the message" might be something none of us will ever understand...

i just watch the low quality of this PV...
but i think this PV is really wonderful...
i think there is a deep meaning connection from the casual ayu..to puffy white ayu and the cage ayu...but i still dont get it..what the meaning of this PV...

Keishi · #**127** 21st November 2006, 01:30 PM

Another disappointment is that there's not much scene with Ayu & the diamond lava lamp (if it's lava lamp, well at least it looks like it. XD) the one with the blue background.
She looks very pretty and natural there. I was expecting more scenes from that shot. :/

immel · #**128** 21st November 2006, 01:40 PM

You don't mean the candle, or do you? That's the only thing I can think of when you say lava lamp.

Keishi · #**129** 21st November 2006, 01:46 PM

Lol. Yeah, whatever it is. The shape of it reminds me so much of a lava lamp.

My interpretation of the PV~

Now, I'm assuming Ayu wrote this song for someone who died, because the lyrics very strongly imply that. Lyrics here: link.

The candle Ayu represents life in this person. At the end of the PV, the candle appears to have gone out, but on the other hand it's possible that it's just too far away to tell. But that could show that although the person was living at the beginning of the PV (since the beginning of the song is speaking of times with that person), they have died (lyrics following accordingly) by the end of it.

Then there's the Ayu in the field. I believe the flowers, too, represent life. As she's singing about the times before this person passed away, they are blooming and beautiful and the tree is full of life. As she moves on to times after the person died, the flowers begin to wilt and die and the tree starts to lose its leaves.

I think the Ayu in the bare tree represents that person themself. As she begins to grow almost weary, the flowers begin wilting. At the end, she appears to be sleeping among the lifeless branches and the field in which the other Ayu stands is barren.

I think it's simply beautiful, in every single way. Additionally, the way the flowers begin to 'cry' gave me chills. I think this is Ayu's best work since at least RAINBOW. Beautiful. I love it.

I totally agree with her opion and thank to her interpretation. I hope everyone can understand this PV more clearly.

For me, I don't care how much JEWEL cost (it's really a big money) all I see is a beautiful PV adn suit for her title "JEWEL" very much. It's a sweet ballad so the simple PV like that is enough to bring the emotional feeling.

I like the wintery feeling likes No way to say PV. And Ayu, she is absolutely stunning. And I thank to Ayu for such a amazing PV like that.

AyuGAME · #**131** 21st November 2006, 03:05 PM

hmm...i have different interpretation

i think if the "candle" simbolysm of live, then i can say that the jewel is the life itself...maybe we run through many condition like joy (happiness) this part showed by puffy white ayu...and then a sad condition or bad condition this showed by the cage ayu...
there is a tears too..but all of that condition was the precious pieces of jewel in our live...i think she want to show that every experience in our live bad or good was our precious jewel that we must cherish it...
i dont know that is my interpretation
and sorry for my bad english..its hard to show my feeling about this PV with english...since english isnt my mother languages

makie_7 · #**132** 21st November 2006, 04:15 PM

I do think she talks about someone, but I don't think that one has died...I feel more she's talking about someone she really apreciates and gave her advise. That person and the things that she learnt are her precious treasure.

#**133** 21st November 2006, 05:10 PM

wow that 'interpretation' was as dramatic as Ayu's fake crying <3

to the people that thought all those jewels were real .... ever heard of costume jewelry?

Princess_Of_Roses · #**134** 21st November 2006, 05:51 PM

It was nice...but that was it. Nice.

I liked the jewel flowers though. It shouldve had a tad more meaning or story ^^

Please no bright lights...or anything having to do with lights.

I don't have too great hopes about momentum, but I'm confident that 1 LOVE will rock.

Haha, yeah, please no bright lights.

Ayumiko · #**137** 21st November 2006, 08:17 PM

Yes please no bright lights and no dancing with all the dancers!! I can't imaging a peaceful candle scene and all of a sudden a bunch of her dancers come out of no where and starts dancing while holding bright lights....

*+Dark.Night.Angel.+* · #**138** 21st November 2006, 09:08 PM

It was like really Really REALLY really gorgeous!

So elegant!

So... Ayu!

The fact that the keep reporting 100million yen in jewels used.. probably makes people think that way.. :\
