New album 'Colours' out July 2nd

[Zeke.]

Well Lelio is really the only good song so I wasn't expecting much from PVs.

[Andrenekoi]

I liked all the videos from this era... This didn't happen since Love songs...

But of course, AHS doesn't like anything.

Some PVs from Love songs were awesome (Virgin road, do it again, Sweet season etc.) Even Party Queen had at least 1-2 I liked, same goes for LOVE again, but I am sorry all 3 of these PVs are absolute crap.

Lelio is...it looks like it should've been put on A EXERCISE. The dancing looks dumb and Ayu just doesn't look comfortable with the image she was going for.

XOXO - while the idea of a selfie-obsessed girl isn't bad, I think the PV for this song is redundant. After 2 minutes it gets boring.

Angel - for a moment I thought this would save the DVD for me, but the moment the girls in white appeared I started LOLing and the fake angels in the end...I just can't.

Feel the love and MGR are still ok, not Ayu's best works, but better than the rest. Yes LOVE again undeniably had better videos...imo.

I like it all :'c

[Loulines]

I think I'm allergic to selfies, 'cause every time Ayu does that in the XOXO PV I want to shut my laptop down...

And Ayu's lipsyncing ruined the Angel PV... And these dancers.

All PVs from this album looks nice though. They're just done terribly wrong.

[November4]

Does anyone else think she looks like a drag queen walking down the street? XD

[xLuna&1LOVE]

Damnnn... that's it? I thought she had ten days for shooting the videos. This is not good.

XOXO, is funny. However, I am not liking what she is wearing! The club is too dark to see what is going on. I was hoping for a real "girls just wanna have fun" concept by gathering a group of girls on her way to the party and ending up in a group selfie. Something like that.

Angel, o my god. Where to start, where to start... I had the story board already in mind when listening to the song, and she has chosen for the clichés. Of course that is not a real problem, but omg are those men fucking angels to you? I do not know why the ballerinas even showed up. First I thought they were are reference to balance, light and elegance like the 'real' angels would be in the end. It did not happen. And then I have not even discussed Ayu's "acting." A calm delivery would have been way more effective.

No,I love Colours. But this... I might start to believe she rushed through this progress. This is a huge let down. Where was Goh to tell her: "hon, I'd swear by God we agreed to go for expensive glam. " ??
Damn. This sucks.

Yup I am done complaining. Please don't hate me.

Lol, no please, go ahead. It's refreshing to hear that.

[tenshi no hane]

I actually like xoxo PV. Yeah, she's overacting but that's the whole point. And I love her hair <3

Angel ...I like the dress? The ballerina's were random but ok-ish. But those 'angels' at the end wtf? Don't do effects if you're not going to do them right.

That Ayu you are takling about is long dead. The mysterious, melancholic, inaccessible out-of-nowhere phenomenon-girl from the early 2000's won't ever come back. I needed a couple of years to realize that, myself xD

[Coelacanth]

Where the HELL was her director to tell her "tone down the theatrics!"

I get the feeling Ayu has WAY too many people on her team just using her for her name and for a paycheck, so they just skimp and do really shoddy work.

I really don't understand how that 'Angel' shoot even made it to the cutting room.

Don't get me wrong, I love the album. The production is slick. But the visuals? WHY?!?!?!?!?!? GET IT TOGETHER.

[freedreamer]

more cases of epic-music-with-poor PVs i guess :/

[pepper]

Ok I watched both PV's.

XOXO - if they would GO for the parody on whole, it would be fun as hell, but well, she wanted to be so sexay etc, and it comes out ridicolous. Boring too. I like her look though.

Angel - JEEEEEEEES this PV had so much potential. It looks like Curtain call but with rainy day/No way to say/do it again atmosphere AND SHE RUINED THIS WITH TACKY ANGELS DANCERS AND CHEEP EFFECTS (really? they could add those wings so much better...) Because the filter/her look/backround LOOKS AMAZING. even if it's boring, I liked the whole dancers thing, but when I SAW THOSE FRIKKING ANGELS I SAID WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.

They can't ever get it right. It's getting a little embarrassing tbh.


Maybe they blew the budgets on working with different composers lol

[Livey~]

I haven't watched any pv yet, but your comments, along with the pictures November4 is posting, are more than enough..

I guess..

[mecury2511]

I'm curious about what phone brand she used for XOXO PV? Docomo Xperia Z SO-02E?

[LEOyumi]

Wow, i absolutely love the XOXO PV! It's so fun and the coreography is soooo raunchy! When was the last time ayu had such a provocative routine? LOVE IT!

Lelio is ridiculous, the effects are tacky and all, but it got me totally addicted. lol

I still haven't watched Angel.

? GET IT TOGETHER.

We've been saying the same thing for about 5 years now. I don't know how she could be so oblivious to what she's doing to her image and brand.

Anyhow the XOXO PV was a joke, I wanted to laugh at the selfie nonsense but I couldn't get over the disconnect between the music and the action on the screen. Angel's PV was a joke. It was horrible. When the dancers came out I was going to burst my appendix laughing, and the wings.... Really Ayu if you wanted a comedy you should've had them crawl out from under your dress then atleast it would be obvious it was intentional.

[Coelacanth]

I actually liked the concept for 'XOXO.' I just wish more happened.

'Angel' tho... what in the world? Alvin "I don't charge cheap!!!!" Goh was hyping it up like it was gonna be some dope shit.

Is Leslie Kee outta jail yet? Imma tweet him and be like FIX THIS MESS PLEASE!!!! Matter of fact, where's SHIMOKO?? Never thought I'd say it, but.. I miss him.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

Where are we watching Angel???

Never mind, found it.


Aside from the covers, I too dislike the visuals.

I don't even want to talk about Angel right now. I can't deal with this. -_-
