[wikipedia] JEWEL ranked 16th most expensive PV

[Tasked]

I think it's about right. I do remember reading that Max Matsuura gave away the costs of My Name's WOMEN, and he said that it's way more expensive then they would have thought. And of course fairyland is 240mil yen, that's a fact... And if JEWEL is 100mil yen with only the diamonds, it's probably over 1mil dollars in total costs.

Funny how all of Ayu's PVs on the list was directed by Wataru Takeishi.
Avex sure spends a lot on our little princess.. three on the list already! Watch her dominate the list in the coming future. hehe~

[~X2RADialbomber~]

WOO Ayu pride!

But this is not a definite list. There are probably many others PV's that haven't been recorded in this list because the source only counts the Top 10 exp. PVS

[alternarist]

all the jewels are real? i thought they were fake!! and why is my name's WOMEN so expensive? haha..

[extepan]

i never believe wiki for this type of things. i beleive the academic articles, but not for entertainment gossips.

[Diana]

OMG.. but it may not be true. Who knows... And Ayu really loves expencive stuff x_x

[~X2RADialbomber~]

Wait a minute...
But 100,000,000 YEN (that's how much JEWEL cost) Doesn't equal 1,000,000 US DOLLARS! It equals 800,000+ not 1 million + >_>

[[taskin.ayu]]

^ That's the cost for the jewelry alone, theres the animation, make up, etc etc. =p

[immel]

Yeah, JEWEL is listed to cost "Over JPY 118,134,731", which is about exactly $1,000,000.

[Keishi]

I seriously wonder what makes my name's WOMEN expensive. I mean, I haven't even heard about that (yeah, considering I seldom go to Ayu Chat-room).

Perhaps for the casting?
I remember there was someone who starred that PV as one of the girls and reported her experiences to AHO. I was like, WOW.

Even more so it was the director, and avex agreed to it, and Ayu was giggling happily in a corner.

Yep, while scratching her dogs' bellies. xD

Of course it's NOT the 16th most expensive PV ever, but we can gladly say it's ONE of the most expensive PVs. And OF COURSE that site is NOT updated with any complete info either. Sad, but yeah. Wiki is trustworthy, but in terms of incomplete information, like this, you don't know. If people kept added to the list constantly, then that list would be accurate, but since nobody does, then well ya know.

Anyway I hope we get more of that director, I ACTUALLY LIKE the videos he's directed. Especially the little dance in fairyland

[truehappiness]

Chiharu and Etsu from TRF made up that dance...

INSPIRE's dance was done by PECO.. blah. LOL I hate when PECO choreographs.

[Aisha_Angel]

I will take A LOT of money and funding to out do SCREAM. It might take one of Japan's biggest collaborations OF ALL MUSICAL-TIME if they ever want to do that because the American industry at the rate it's going is no where near that point.

Maybe avex could pull an AyuxKuu collabo PV worth 8 mill? Haha; that would stop all the fan fighting.

[truehappiness]

Wouldn't it escalate the fighting?

"SHE LOOKED BETTER"

"NO SHE DIDNT"~

[jasjasss]

uhh !! i thought the jewel in the PV are fake
im pretty sure they are not real !

[..:Hot:Like:Wow:..]

JEWEL was definitly worth the money that was spent.

It would'nt be hard to make a music vid more expensive than scream. 7 mil is not alot of money to major artists.

[Choyan]

hm...
well...
diamonds' expenses is 100mil. in yen, 8mil. in US . XD
