To be fair, I believe this chess thing has been done by MANY people before even McQueen, haha.

It's done well though imo.

What was the first time she used something from the fashion industry? DOSQA and Why...?

well sure, but it has more resamblance with the McQ's show at least in my eyes. it is very well done, i can't argue with that, and i do like the PV a lot. Just it makes it less special somehow ^_^" sure u can't really invent anything in this world anymore but well.....tho ayu kind of did it in her own way.

yeah it was Why...

ha! i know what bugs me in the missing pv not mentioning it's very simple...um the HAIR..she needs to stop having those ugly braids, she looks so much better with fluffy bangs like on LOVE covers.

Aaah, that's so cool! I love it when Ayu takes inspiration from him~

Also, all I can say about the Song 4 u PV is THOSE NAILS.

Why there's two lines in between? Shouldn't be 4 lines instead?

That is awesome! I love Alexander McQueen's designs. This is definitely a plus.

[rookies]

Oh wow, both short previews are so good. Can't wait to see the full versions!

[HTMSD]

ayumi hamasaki is BACK, she need more TV promotions on this "mini-album" !!

PS : at the first time I saw missing PV, my thought was, "errr.... BALLAD part II?"

[FoObY]

Returning to her traditional style, love it! S4U sounds so much stronger and more mature than the other version. It sounds like it could be a different recording instead of simply one version being longer than the other.

[ayujarl]

didn't expect these. love them so far. beautiful songs

[Foyuki]

this one is so gorgeous!

Spoiler:

[xLuna&1LOVE]

I have changed my order into CD+DVD for this. Omg, those were two amazing pieces!~
Bravo, Ayumi. Bravo

[chikocchi]

My interest in Ayu has just shot back up to a high mark
I was starting to slip off the ayu bandwagon ever so slightly but then BAM we get this beautifulnbess that is Song 4 u
I'm not feeling Missing but the PV sure is lovely

[Mai82Go]

^Yes, me too. I was afraid, really afraid that I might loose interest in anything she does, but I think it was just a phase, I like her new stuff. Well done Ayu. I really look forward to this now. But I wonder why there are only pawns and queens. Where is the rest of the cast?

[tenshi no hane]

The PVs are nice, I don't really love the songs unfortunately.


I translated the first 4 stanza's of Missing's lyrics, if anyone's interested:

Though I was able to speak honestly back then
And say "I miss you" when I missed you
And say "I'm lonely" when I was lonely...

When I start to lose my trust in you
You also lose your trust in me

When I stop understanding you
You also stop understanding me, don't you?

I simply continue moving forward, straight ahead, no matter how often I get hurt
No matter how many times I'll be rejected; there's no going back

[Aderianu]

^ thank you!

[Jawdarna]

I really like the Song 4 u PV so far.

To be honest, the Missing PV does nothing for me so far.
I think that Melody would have suited that atmosphere more.
I think Missing would have suited something similar to rainy day, or momentum's PV more so.

Still, they have both totally exceeded by expectations so far.

[SURREAL__RAINBOW]

LOVE THEM. My favorite so far is Missing!!

[Yoake]

So glad to have both pvs short version. They looks amazing!! I love the concept of missing. Need to have the full version^^

[TITANIC]

who's the arranger for Missing? sounds like HAL. i love the arrangement but still not very fond with her vocal

[SunshineSlayer]

Neither PV really looks that impressive. They are pretty looking, but don't seem to have much going on. At least Song for U has somewhat of an interesting concept though.
