I mainly don't approve is because I want a new shoot lol.

So excited for the FLOWER and Mad World PVs!

I really hope for something more like some of Kuu's covers:

yeah I hope not in this style. Ayu, sweet and beautiful as she is, can't pull off that raw sex appeal of Kuu, so yeah.

Always loved this one. It's a little creepy but cool at the same time.

That reminds me so much of Hatsumomo from Memoirs of a Geisha

I got really excited when I saw that Ayu changed her profile picture on Facebook, but then I saw the watermark and realized it was fanmade

I really like JAPONESQUE's covers, but I don't know if that style fits ayu.

Besides, yes, she could be having some wild theories to interpret "made in Japan" and decide on cover arts that are entirely different from everyone's expectations or interpretation. Not necessarily good, I've learnt.

EDIT/addition:
If the rumours about Mad World getting a PV is true, then I'm kind of surprised that she's not making a new PV for any ballad. You are the only one, Breakdown (not really a ballad), and TODAY have so much potential as a PV-worthy song in my opinion.

AyuGAME · #12 17th May 2016, 03:58 PM

Mad World??? Really unexpected...I thought that song is kinda weaker than others to promote this album. Hope they will add another PV. Looking on the time frame, Ayu even can produce PV in just a few days (Winter Diary PV). So the hope is still there.

I remember her announcement/news/magazine interview in 2004 that the three new PVs for MY STORY were shot in four days' time, so, yes.

Yeah and it kinda showed.

For her PV standards back then, they were a bit weak. So, I'm hoping these don't end up being rush jobs as well.

With all these "rushed" comments it really makes me think if one actually sees it or sees it, because one knows that it was "rushed".
Shooting in four days, doesn't mean much anyway. Plots, settings, outfits etc. were likely decided long beforehand. Castings were held etc.

Mad World has strong lyrics and difference from other her recent songs. So I can see the selling points for this song.

Although I'm not a big fan (so far) of Mad World, seeing the lyrics I know why they chose this to make a PV. I have a feeling it will be worldly themed lol

FLOWER definitely needs a PV but I can't help imaging it to be like part of Me + Moments. I wonder if she has much time to do these 2 PVs now that the tour is starting.

Andrenekoi · #18 17th May 2016, 05:30 PM

^Raw sex appeal? I can even see Koda asking the creative director if she did sexy right after the photos.

if only we could think outside of the box and not just have the most general and stereotypical concepts of what "JAPAN" is and means...

This so much. This would actually be one of the laziest routes Ayu could take. And most of the ideas are pretty much similar to the part of me PV, so it would be kinda repetitive.

Though I would personally be happy with anything as long as it's aesthetically pleasing and has a story.
