Despite the one-scene, this PV at least looks high-budgeted. The production value definitely went into the multiple camera takes, angles, lighting and post-production. Simply because she focused her efforts and money on these aspects, this PV looks like it's from her 60s70s80s era.

Stranger vs. Sweet Kisses. Notice the difference?

Birthday - still meh...

Anything - not bad, I love the guitar but the build up is not working for me..feels flat and the vocal is not emotional enough for my taste

The pv for Stranger is boring. I don't get why people are so impressed with it.
Anything is really sweet, I like this song a lot.
Birthday sounds better in full, but its pv is still a big no for me.

Lol, I read LMLYG as "Let Me Love You Girl." You can tell I didn't give that song a second thought after its release.

Listened to the leaked tracks yesterday and can't remember any of them except for birthday. It has a cute melody, but the engrish is SUCHHH a huge turn off.

^maybe it is because I'm not a native speaker .... but I think she improved from FEEL quite a bit.
LMLYG is probably the worst she could have done and I hope she will re-record it someday.

That would be a waste of a re-record. She said, "Let me let you go," and that's exactly what I did at the end of the verse. I hit STOP. And was gone.

I think a lot of her (older) PVs are pretty boring, but actually Stranger PV looks nice for me so far.
Really like the choreography and her long dress combined with that setting.

The song on the oher hand is still so repetitive.
I'd like it more if it wouldn't basically repeating the same verse over and over and over.

I'm actually really enjoying Photogenic and Golden Touch. They feel like such a breathe of fresh air to me. If only the rest of the album had that same feel <<. Stranger and Birthday are pretty decent too though, but not great, and Fashionista is just eh. Anything is this albums Only You and, well, I really disliked both songs >>;;.

Just gotta say that I think the Birthday PV is really, really cute. Namie's smiles are way too adorable, at least for me. I'm going to wait for the full Stranger PV to judge but, so far, I only things I like about it are her dress and the dance lol.

Yeah idk, I remember saying this album wasn't going to be all that but, personally I think it's going to be really good...after repeatedly listening to the previews. I'm most excited to hear her take on B who I want 2 B.

As unfortunate as this Album is turning out to sound and I say this based solely on the previews because I am not pressed in the least to hear the leaks. It's not that I'm resisting. It's that I don't give a fuq. But I will say I am most looking forward to hearing "Fly" and "Space Invader".

"Scream" to a lesser extent. Everything else can fall down. Hit branches and trees on the way down. Hit rocks at the bottom. And not make it. I'll sign the "Do Not Resuscitate" form. All praise and glory unto him.

I can't get over Namie stumbling ALL OVER the verses in Birthday lol. It's SO tragic.

Anything reminds me of something from melody.'s Lei Aloha which was like 10 years ago now sooo... I don't think it's the worst song anymore after hearing it in full, but it's definitely got the most embarrassing, robotic lyrics I've heard in a long time.

Photogenic and Golden Touch are my favs.

If you take out all the album tracks from this album, you get nothing left.
Oops.

Haven't listened to the previews yet but the videos look amazing. I'm super excited. a lot of negativity going around, well that's what leaks do.
