sadly true...although RnRC PVs were quite innovative and active ones..

I don't know, I still found them lacking something.

For example Microphone, basically only had her in 2 different outfits, the huge dress where she is rocking out and then dressed as the woman at the table. Half of that PV was made up of random people which I really found annoying and pointless.

And Sunrise and Sunset, omg, don't even get me started on those.

Yeah, many members tought teh same about Microphone but honestly I prefered it much more than MOON/Sunrise/Sunset/BALLAD/even Don't look back at least I liked the alternative choice of carachters conquiring the scene.
In the others all the attention is focused on her figure and in the end nothing really happens to me...although she's gorgeous and so on i'm a little bit bored.

And i'm still waiting for a summer PV like fairyland and BLUE BIRD that never comes me sad

HOWEVER... she better not just have that one shot like she did in MOON, I really want atleast a few outfit changes and different scenes... Ayu seems to think it's acceptable to do really basic and boring PVs lately.

As long as they're ~deep and inspiring~

What about BALLAD?

[AyUmIXx]

It's really a very short PV preview..
so i can't judge for more..
the scene that she sits in the living room with TV showing something..that part is interesting!
I hope it has the epicness like on don't look back..
simple yet mesmerizing!

[toniayu]

^ i'm waiting the same u_u,i have a little presentiment...maybe in the next summer we will have a summery pv like blue bird,fairyland... *O*

[freedreamer]

That CM did nothing for me =.=
I'm just gonna wait.

[love in music]

her face didn't look weird at all to me. she looks ****ing gorgeous omfg. i can't get over it. she is so amazing and beautiful. ahhh i can't wait for the full thing! everything looks so interesting.

also maybe she'll light her house on fire and be compared to lady gaga again because she invented fires in music videos.

she already lit a house on fire in fairyland...so she'd just be copying herself again first...then gaga.


lol anyway, I would like what SKYia said...another Don't Look Back or is this LOVE wouldnt be bad...

I don't really want another MOON....or anything like You Were...I'd prefer her to have some "live and active" sets...

[Ranma Matsuri]

^I have VLC player but I've never made screencaps... that's so weird. o_O But thanks for pointing out all the "symbolic" (I assume) stuff in the PV.

LOL

Yeah I agree with SKYia and emiko, Ayu's had PV's before where it was one setting and her in one outfit that turned out to be awesome and engaging so I hope crossroad will turn out like that... and really, I hope the L PV's don't follow the same pattern (doubt it, but who knows) I like colors, costumes changes and different settings and active concepts in my PV's lol.

^optimism is always a good thing!

[ohsixthirty]

i'm very intrigued by those screens. her tv also displays the same footage.

does anyone know why my vlc screencaps turned blue by the way?!

She loves to step on fruits like in Free and Easy (poor grapes splashed to pulp) and she loves to blow up fruits like in is this LOVE?. Fruits are always active background in her videos

Don't know how about you but in my country there's a very famour fairytale called The Little Match Girl by Hans Christian Andersen. I'm not implying that there's a relation but it was actually my first thought

[Ranma Matsuri]

^Yeah, I believe The Little Mermaid is probably his best known work here?

SKYia: well Hans Christian Andersen is well known I would say as we have become quite familiar with his popular tales in the US. Sort of like the brothers Grimm. Anyhow I don't remember the little Match Girl but now I must read it haha

*lights match* *stare* *stare* *stare*

[jbrat2219]

Saw the short version! She looks hot, I have no complaints xD;

[AyuHamasaki01]

I LOVE IT, even though her face is a bit weird but I can live with that.
