Worst Colours PV & Discussion

[waterballoon]

Let's choose which PV in Colours is the worst & have a little discussion on them, since I think the PVs are getting fans all riled up this time round.

Now every video has received some form of backlash...

Feel the love: Featuring obese girl trying too hard to fit into standards of beauty, represented by Ayu. Adding salt to the wound, said obese girl was featured in comical manner that seemed to mock her appearance/effort to lose weight, despite all fan-made theories that the video is about "loving who you are".

Merry-go-round: Video with the least criticism, with some saying it's a copy of "progress".

Lelio: Amazing song letdown by a horribly boring video; bad dancing, awkward posing, cheesy background effects...

XOXO: Cute song that had a video that many said to be "rubbish". Featuring Ayu and her transexual dancer (Lico). Having escaped from RuPaul's Drag Race, them "girls wanna have fun" and used a phone's selfie features to take awkward shots, followed by them being slutty in a nightclub with bad lightning.

What fans didn't ask was... Where's your selfie stick Ayu??



Angel: Beautiful song featuring "Curtain call" alike PV taken in a "single take". Beautiful Ayu, beautiful dress, cheesy effects towards the end (no one can take that one second of blurring to give her wings seriously). Much complains about not digitally removing her safety rope away despite theories that it made her "human".

IMO the worst is Lelio. And don't say "all" guys although most of you want to

Discussion:

For all that is worth, I thought XOXO & Angel probably had hidden "symbolism" in them.

In XOXO, like many have said, has elements of satire towards selfies and maybe slutty girls. The overacting could be attributed to her satire acting of "rich and materialistic" girls trying too hard. Other over-the-top fakeness includes the badly weaved weave & Lico as a "BFF".

But no one can take her seriously because her execution was filled with garbage (as always since maybe 2011)...

What I think could have been done better were to have all her female dancers in and just having a good time in the USA. Maybe tease some boys along the street, have pizza, twerk a little, and then end off with a selfie? She had potential here to dress normally, be a girl-next-door having girly fun with her BFFs but she chose to dress hideously!

For Angel, I thought the premise was beautiful. It was dark, desolate and very quiet.. fitting for the song. With such an atmosphere and the famous single take that Ayu does pretty well (Curtain call, Sweet Scar), it makes you wonder why the camera keeps shifting; Ayu never constantly stays in the middle which bothers me.

The effects were shitty too though I did get where they were coming from.

I didn't like that she didn't "go all the way" with this. Like if she wanted to have angels descending to give her wings, perhaps a better idea were to have her be dead, having her spirit wander around the streets, before getting judged by a "powerful being above", and angels coming down to give the decree that she's a devil, and maybe she struggles and wants to go to "heaven" with the angels?

So much potential given the theme and atmosphere of the song but of course she butchers it.
