I noticed it! I can't seem to get a screencap of it because it flashes by way too quickly.

@demure&immel: We have different points of view. That's all. He he

She looks hot there.. but it's not my favorite video. Her face expression is scary most of the time and I'm not fond of such "full of symbolism" PVs what show people's bad sides.

ZeroS · #64 30th November 2006, 07:14 PM

I love 1 Love... I thought that ayu will never make a new PV that I really could love like that... but... just awesome

Terri · #65 30th November 2006, 07:17 PM

I hate to say this, but typical, expected, and slightly boring. Another Game/About You/Humming PV

I was so pleased with Momentum and Jewel. Even worse, I'm starting to hate the song as well...

It was pretty boring and repetive. I guess I was expecting too much. >_<

I just realized we almost said the same exact thing

I think that JEWEL would be the PV that has the most in common with GAME/About You/Humming 7/4, considering all of them is purely artistic without a story in them.

I don't find it boring, it's a whole little scene that could have been taken from a movie that we get to see

.

Maybe it helps that I like the song. I find that the PV enhances the song rather than degrades it, although I'd never let a PV change my view on the music itself.

ZeroS · #67 30th November 2006, 07:27 PM

I think this PV is more like Ourselves, one of my favorites...

I imagine that it's quite painful to pole-dance unless you've done it for a living, which Ayu obviously doesn't.

pole dancing IS hard. you'd think its easy until you try it. its really physically exerting, seeing as how you're spinning around at high speeds and supporting your weight with just one hand a lot of the time. of course ayumi isn't going to be the best pole dancer, like you said, she isn't doing if for a living. i saw nothing wrong with her performance though.

anyhow, what the heck is the otaku holding???

The rips we've seen, is it DVD rips or TV rips? Maybe the DVD won't be censored?

There was an interesting guess on hentai pictures, but it could be toys or whatever. Maybe he's not holding anything special and the censor is put there for the effect of it, us immediately thinking he is holding something that should be censored.

Oh, the PV did not change my perception of the song at all. I'm just generally tired of the 'Game' style that Ayu tends repeat (recently).

ZeroS · #71 30th November 2006, 07:42 PM

I think he's holding a gashapon, just google it...

#72 30th November 2006, 07:49 PM

I thought the pv was really good. Dark and scary, and the plot was great. The pole dancing wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. She really didn't act nasty or ****ty at all. I just don't see what "MUSICIAN" has to do with pole dancing. It should of been "ENTERTAINER". It would of been cool it there was a "MAGICIAN" there too.

hrm...i think that type of mask was already around before that movie? i dunno really, but the mask does look similar, although it isn't the exact same mask.

Horrible PV.

GAME, About You, Because of You (that was a good video though), Ourselves .. and now 1love .. they're all the same grungy style. Nothing new or fresh about it.

She can't even hold a good position on the pole. Its hard to pole dance but its not hard to grab to pole and look sexy doing it. She's moves akwardly.

I thought it was a generic PV.

the angel song · #75 30th November 2006, 09:34 PM

My only little complaint about this PV is that I wish there was a better variety of freaks in the show. The wolfman was interesting, the eating man was disgusting (but it still worked), and the otaku was funny (would've been better if he was a fat white gaijin version instead though lolo). The other freaks were just subpar. I liked someone's earlier post saying they should've had a magician or something. Oh well, it was all entertaining nonetheless

.

*hearT_Place* · #76 30th November 2006, 10:00 PM

It was pretty good, but there was just...something missing for me that would have brought it all together. I can't put my finger on it, though.

I'm wondering, though, how did Ayu the musician get there in the first place? She seems so defiant. And what happened to her?

My Rainbow · #77 30th November 2006, 10:04 PM

An AMAZING PV!!!! I love it, it's sexy, freak, dark, scary uuh... it's AWESOME!

*Petit* · #78 30th November 2006, 10:28 PM

I thought it was ok. But it lacked something, I don't know what. And the plot was all over the place and not well executed. I really diden't like the ending. However I diden't really think it was similar to GAME.

SuWillGetU · #79 30th November 2006, 10:36 PM

Am I the only one still wondering if they're going to air this PV on TV? I think if people saw it they might want to buy "Secret" even more.

I don't see a problem with Ayu having several PVs using a similar dark tone. The stories being told (if there is a story) are all quite different, as is the imagery. Ever since "Ourselves" I've looked forward to Ayu's "dark" PVs because they almost always have some of the coolest, strangest imagery and scenes.

That being said, I thought the PV was well-produced and had a clever ending. I'm not a connosieur of pole-dancing, so I didn't have a problem with her moves. I really liked how Ayu sometimes grabbed the money being thrown at her and threw it right back--it made her look tough and saucy.

I'm wondering why anyone would want to buy that fatso, though.

I don't see why it wouldn't be aired. Did you hear somewhere that it wouldn't be? And is it true Alterna didn't air? I have a hard time believing that, considering some of the other PVs that I've seen aired on JP TV.
