'Missing' and 'Song 4 u' PV short versions on YouTube

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

Don't hope for too much.

I think it was expected, I'm not that surprised!

And Melody sounds gorgeous in the CM!!

[Benikari47]

I'm not surprised noir dissapointed, i think Ayu "fighting" with herself would have looked incredibly awkward.

[pepper]

^ all the tracks sounds SO OLDSCHOOOOOOL. *don't kill me but* S4u reminds me a little of SURREAL XD This is a strong mini. Not my "thing" though (my thing is rock/electronish ayu) but still, piece of GOOD music. STORYline of PV's may be BORING AGAIN, but still IM VISUALLY ATTRACTED TO THEM. So yeah. Good piece of work. Aye.

finger crossed for another dark-edgy pv (or at least with fine PLOT) AND DARK ROCK LIKE WE KNOW SHE CAN KICK BUTTS WITH IT. Go Ayu. Long nails again. Dark dress again. AND DARK SONG with it. Like you did it with Song 4 u PV (you see? u can. ehhkheh) but with MORE SHARP AND EDGE WITH THE MUSIC. I love your "yeyeyeyeyeye" and "uhuhuhuhuh" in rock songs. pleasepleaseplease *prayin'*

and a fine electronish track. Last angel with oldschool evolution tempo, yeeeeeeeeees. Or SEXY SPARKLE PART II. YES.

[!Lawi!]

I wish someone could record them, even with a crappy quality!

The CM reminded me of Melody, I had forgotten about it !It sounds really nice actually !

[SKYia]

Maybe the PVs will have something in common with the ones from next mini album, maybe there'll be more, although I doubt it. Ayu made similar PVs, eg Don't look back, but there was always 'something' like Ayu's running make up that made it amazing, I wish there was sth like this here as well.

[waterballoon]

omg she's back. the Queen is back. good-bye horrible quality ala the FIVE era

About Song 4 u ending...

Spoiler:

I tweeted just yesterday that I was SURE that it would end with both queens facing each other hahahaha I knew it, it's like two sides of herself facing each other, but none will ever win, though one of them could overcome the other for some time

Melody sounds ok in the CM, but then it's [much] less than 1 minute, so I can still be surprised by it. Still looking forward to Missing, I'm sure I'll overscrobble it when the full thing leaks

[SKYia]

^ I like that idea about the ending, although I just wish it was at least shown with some diiferent camera angles, or 'd love Ayu to make at least some face expression / wink / smile / whatever to give people some ideas to work with

[Delicious n Bold]

Regardless, I dont regret getting the CD/DVD edition

I'm GLAD that the song 4 u pv didn't have her fighting each other. Everyone would have just complained about how awkward and un realistic it was -.-
I think just completing the game and them facing each other was a much stronger feeling to it tbh. Very eerie.
Love both songs so much. And Song 4 u's video really did it for me. Not feeling 'Missing' pv so much but I really love the song

[truehappiness]

In a way, they're making "Song 4 u" look like it was a song written '2 herself' with the PV.

[Delicious n Bold]

Kinda like Angela Aki's tegami but with long nails.

[hidekirby]

A battle in Song 4 u would have been a terribly cheap ending IMO. Something like the horrendous Duty pachinko video.
I won't complain the ending is more subtle. Yet, they could have shown another setting, a "narrator", something else to entertain... Well I didn't see the whole thing, I may like its simplicity in the end.

[TeamAyu2004]

She really has been into herself lately... (not in a bad way)
I feel like Party Queen is dedicated to herself, so is You and Me... and now LOVE... this is good for her.

[JackieRos]

From what I read about song 4 u, it doesn't even sound bad.
I really like what I'm reading so far.

[TeamAyu2004]

lol, visually I think she has some great pieces. Both story wise and diversity she is lacking.
Not saying there are not some hidden jems, but over all I have never been impressed. And I find it sad (for my part) because some of her songs ( a lot of her songs) could have some very very good PV's.

[truehappiness]

She has better PVs than most J-Pop artists imo. (The ones who don't have whack amazing creative directors anyway)

[isthisLOL?]

I agree with Ayumi not having the best PVs. She mainly works with very skilled directors, producing stunning and technically great videos, but they tend to lack content and diversity. Of course, her videos are better than those of most pop singers, but the average pop video, imo, is really, really bad.

[Shirlaay]

I love both of them, Ayu has outdone herself this time

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I guess from what I read prior to seeing the full videos (people talking about more, for lack of better words, epic outcomes) I assumed most people felt that way haha.

Obviously that's not the case, but I do think there will be some disappointment for some people, while others will definitely like them.

Personally after watching them I was left with a "Hmm.." impression. I wasn't amazed by either of them, nothing blew me away. But they were... pleasant.

I preferred Missing. The cinematography is great.
