I was curious to what language specifically "brillante" was used in, it's amazing it's a spelling that's really common across European languages I didn't know that.

Brilliante is bearing me resemble with... kiss o'kill, Pride, Until that day... and evolution.
Or Sparkle, even Mirrorcle World

Something fast, a little epic, a little mysterious and glam. But not Lady Dynamite LD is a little rockish (but I dont like the song, it's too slow and kinda boring) and Brilliante makes me think of something mix of classical and electro-pop. But we will see.

[kalikagai]

let us make it finally clear - the song is titled brillante, not brill-I-ante

It's not that bad... Especially when comparing it to Lady Dynamite ... And also to add that I find her gay themed PV's to be one of the two most stupid things she ever did in her career. ~in my opinion, of course!

[YuriChan]

^I beg to differ. But that's just me.

I don't quite understand if your problem is the actual videos or them being gay-themed.

just the title making me think of something classy, electro-pop, medium or fast tempo song.

Well, with that comment I said that in my opinion all of her gay themed video clips suck. And who am I to say that I don't want ayu to do OR hate/ have an problem with gay themed video's, that would almost seem homophobic in some way.

[jbrat2219]

What is with the Lady Dynamite hate? That song is so much fun. And the PV is one of her best.

[Zeke.]

Lady Dynamite is just so BORING! Seems to be the general consensus and I agree. It never kicks off.

It's a bit too much for me I guess. When I saw all those guys dancing and Ayu in the middle I thought ".... wtf is this ayu?". I don't really know "her style" or anything but this was something that I wasn't familiar with. As for the song I only like the part which comes before the main chorus. ~Datte ..... .. . . Sugite .....~ that part lol.

[*Petit*]

The best part about lady dynamite is the instrumental hook. I don't find the PV very interesting and the song pretty sun of the mill ayu album track, though not her best. It's just ok, and that sadly doesen't cut it when the other songs on the same album appeal to me so much more. =)

I don't get the reference to "Her gay themed PVs" though, I thought there was just one, Lady dynamite which has lots of references to contemporary western culture that is labeled as gay.

GREEN can be interpreted in a number of ways and not necessarily mainly as being a gay themed pv IMO, especially considering the view on genders in japanese culture. Consider the theatrical tradition where men used to take on female roles, but also contemporary stuff like the all female theater (whose name I cannot remember), yaoi aimed at women, themed host bars where women dressed as men serve female clients in the rolse of men to take the sexual tention away etc. None of the above can acurately be described as a part of "gay" culture from a modern western pespective, as they are completely outside of that realm.

Ayu was a party girl after all. I wouldn't be surprised if the PV is representative of what she does on her down-time. My problem with the Lady D haters, especially when it came out, is that they sometimes express this notion that Ayu is someway devalued or tainted because she did a club PV with gay men. There's nothing wrong with clubs, dancing, gay men or drag queens. Now some critiqued the editing, that I feel is consistent with her gay PVs. GREEN was also poorly edited in my opinion, but it's still one of her best regardless.

The song, well... I don't agree with the general consensus of this forum most of the time. I think the most boring upbeat song Ayu has is my name's WOMEN. *yaaaaaaaaaaawn* The PV was cool though LOL.

omg I couldn't agree with you more.
I never get the hate for Lady Dinamyte too. And I never found anything over the top on it to be honest . I rather prefer a club PV when she's having fun than a dramatic PV when she's fake crying.
And my name's WOMEN song is really boring. Too bad 'cause the PV was awesome.

This is were I have to agree with you :3

Back ontopic; I cannot wait to hear the full sequence of progress. I'm still madly in love with the preview (Tales of Xillia ~trailer). This is really the reason why I am excited for this album XD.

[jbrat2219]

I wonder why we haven't gotten a recording by now? She's performed it already, right? Isn't an AHS member going to one of the shows?

[RayJason]

^ Yes you are right. I'm so impatient right now, but I promised myself that I would not listen to any leaked songs... that's an promise , I will break ... xD

[pepper]

LD was a song with big aspiration but they made it overdone I think. But I like the PV, too bad the song it's just veeeery average. I just dont listen to it : P I got the same feeling with Don't look back and almost 70% of RnRC songs. They just rushed or sth? Microphone and Sexy little things are amazing (and the singles) but the rest have just something missing. I hope MINI album will have a feeling like Love songs - it sounds so complete for me.

I hope Ayu will appear in some magazines shoot... Lack of photosessions these days T_T
