hbya PV

[dannysan]

The PV is beautiful but i couldn't stop thinking of this PV when i was watching.

Beautiful PV. I was more concentrated on other people here but I actually think it was this way on purpose. Ayu looked beautiful too, and I love the fact that she used long nails for a change. She's been using shorter ones for a while now. But I loved the PV and cried at the end much like everyone else.

PV also reminds me of the concept of Born To Be... PV. How beautiful you are would be like a more calmer version of that to me.

And I wanted to say something else too but forgot completely because I watched the PV again and cried even more. XD

Wow... I can honestly say this is her most powerful music video in a looooooonnnnnngg time!

I loved the concept, the simplicity and the emotion it was able to show. I know some people thought Ayu ruined the video but I don't think she did. Although I do think she should have dumbed down the make up and go for a more natural look... I think it would have fit in with the PV more.

Still. I absolutely loved it.

I really liked it. The only thing I didn't like were her nails, yikes! But the concept and music really came together perfectly. Regardless of how you feel about the song the PV just made everything seem a lot better so it did its job

[RayJason]

lol calling ayu a dragqueen? get over yourself.

I love this PV. Ayu looks stunning in that dress, and I love her (LONG) hair even though some people claim to see the obvious wig.

The most touching part for me was when the woman and her boyfriend were looking at each other, and later it's revealed that the woman has a mechanical leg. (sorry I don't know the correct description in English). Yeah that was pretty touching.

Beautiful PV!

I didn't cried, but it made my eyes wet .
Gorgeous PV, she's beautiful except for the wig that looks too fake. And I think it's made on purpose to focus more on people than on Ayu though. Love how the people are so different and interesting from each other, that fits with the song title so much imo.

Overall I love hbya PV. Her best ballad PV so far imo.

[Beffi]

I really like it. Such a beautiful PV. It's so simply made but says so much!

The only thing I didn't really like were her scarily long nails, but I can't really criticise it just for those, haha.

[Heavenly]

Is it me, or is it the first time (or at least one of a few times) that there are Asian people in an Ayu PV ? Because usually, she uses Western people as actors...

[TeamAyu2004]

I have watched it a few times and like it more and more... it is so simple... but interesting. Much better than a lot of her other "simple" PV's...

Hmm, off the top of my head, she had Shawn Yue in glitter/fated. There were also kids from a Japanese acting school[?] in Born To Be...'s PV. I think most of the drones from Real me were also Japanese.

[yabieru]

In progress and RAINBOW there are japanese people too

I have a few questions regarding the people in the video. First, what was it supposed to mean when the family turns around and you see that (what was assumed to be their child) looks like an adult with dwarfism (I don't mean to offend anyone, I just don't know the correct terminology)? Also, what did the girl with very high heels and the guy whose face was covered signify?

Anyways, I love the PV, it almost brought me to tears. It was so beautifully done and remarkably touching and meaningful.

^ I think there's no "deeper" (it's deep itself) meaning. The little man may be a part of their family and they love him no matter what, and the pair in latex it was a "sado-masochistic" term of love.

[AyumiBest]

I actually did tear up. I thought it was beautiful.

That wasn't symbols or metaphors... just different kinds of love for different kinds of people...

[AyuGAME]

The PV is beautiful...

I think the wind is a symbol of struggle on moving forward...
unique people with unique taste, unique preference is having more challenge and difficulties on moving forward.
Towards the end, we see that Ayu is facing the wind too, maybe she want to say that she as an artist has her own difficulties as well...
but in the end...no matter how strong the wind is...we need to keep moving forward...

beautiful, very simple but touching...

10/10
