It's cool how they included a blue bird and a jeweled Ayu...I didn't think of that at first. I wonder if that was done on purpose. In BLUE BIRD she's very happy and carefree and in JEWEL, she seems trapped (the box). I'm probably thinking too much into it, but that's a cool coincidence.

I think the pv is lack of something.. I know the main dancers are doing kung fu, but it looks more like dancing than kung fu in the end (lol). I have no idea what the jeweled ayu implies. It does have a theme except I wasn't too into the pv, so I didn't really think about it .

Probly I'll need to watch it a few more times to make myself understanding/liking the pv..

Wow, you need to take a happy pill. Anyways, I, unlike you, had high hopes for this pv. The director seemed very promising and Rule is a great song, but it didn't seem to WOW me like Together When... or Days. She looked gorgeous, like always, and the special effects at the beginning lead me on to believe it was going to be amazing.. but then it kind of just dragged on. There wasn't a great plot and the whole thing didn't seem to make a lot of sense... like the GREEN pv. It's still a good pv to watch, I just wanted it to be amazing like the other pv's this director directed.

Well enough of my selfish rant =D Go Ayu!

The music video was good. I liked it. This isn't one of those PVs with a straight storyline. It was really simple. The camera angles that zoomed in and out were nice effect. The attack special effect was done well.
I'm a bit in between with the outfit. Ayu looks great in the outfit, but I've never liked those outfits that have that bit of fabric that go up the middle, leaving the sides free. I think they could have found something better, but at least she looks good but not my favorite outfit.
The dancing was all right. She only danced for a bit, but it fit the music video. The final pose was a great way to end it.

Hmm. I'm not a big fan of the PV, but I don't hate it either. I really don't like that outfit on her though- it really doesn't do her many favors. Also, she made it seem that she dances more in this PV than she actually does. I would have liked to have seen more actual dancing from her (not just a bunch of arms movements towards the end). The setting and effects of the PV were ok. I like the fiery opening with her name. Overall, alright. But definitely not great.

And once again, as with many of her recent PVs, it seems there is a "story" in there somewhere but it is put together to vaguely/poorly to make a whole lot of sense. (until we have discussed it and tried to figure it out for a few threads, which is something you shouldn't have to do)

I liked the PV, it matched the movie quite well. xD However, I don't get the sparkly glove scenes. She should have been wearing a hannya mask instead. D:

maybe just becase looks good and work fine with that sweet part of the song
honestly i'm not into plot or trying to find the meaning of short clips
for me all is about esthetic, colors, image. that all.
and the video is just perfect

I seem to be one of the few who doesn't think that this PV is very good. Honestly, I don't see why some people are saying it's her best PV ever, but that's just my opinion and I respect that. However, I'm disappointed in a lot of ways.

She really didn't dance nearly as much as she lead us to believe. Other than that, I just didn't find anything about it really great. It was just a typical dancing PV, nothing really special about it. That's not to say I thought it was bad, though. She looked really good and the background was nice; I just feel she could have done a lot more with such a powerful, fun song.

Yes the PV is artistic...but it's just so hard to relate to.

I'm glad Ayu is not following the trend and she's just doing her own thing...but I'm finding myself more and more distanced from her. She looks gorgeous and everything...but the over-exaggerated facial expressions and letting me down after not being shown an obvious connection between everyone and Ayu in silver clothing. I guess Days just did it more for me.

Maybe I'm just bitter that Sparkle isn't the leading A-side of this single lol. I can see myself already putting Sparkle on repeat for a while.

I actually really like it...simply because she gave us something entertaining...although I wish she was dancing more.

I'll have to watch it a few times for all the symbolism crap...but all that is all kind of bonus for me...I just like that it was fun to watch, and that the song is fun.

I think she's really gorgeous in the "softer" part.

but sugarbasil is right, definitely NOT her best PV ever, and it is quite average.
