but the ayu going back to the old pvs... i dont think is going to happen... her music is evolving, and i personally believe thats getting pretty interesting, but obviously for some is just getting annoying.

all depends in the sence of taste i guess, plus, she cant make happy all of her fans all the time... but she tries really hard and thats why i love her soo much

she did it this time thou, for me and the majority at least

yeah IA. & personally i love her divaness. she does it so well and just looks hot. people who don't like it oh well, she'll probably keep doing it in future PVs, which is fine with me, but not so fine for the uptight fans

yea
shes a diva and she knows it lol she does it pretty well as well ^^ plus, shes getting older, not younger, so she wont go back to the evolution times or anything like that. and I'm fine with that as well

Well first, the plot and the story for the PV is extremly obvious!
She is fighting against her will and the Rules, like the bird looking for a way out in a never ending maze. Then, with a big boom she break the Rules and sets herself(and the bird) free.

But I kind of agree, there was some random scenes when she is just posing, but I think they are pretty important just to get the feeling of the situation.

Its not one of her best PVs, but soooo much better then like MW PV that was crazy bad (imo). Well well, Im very pleased with this PV. ^^ Its clear, tuff, cool and filled with attitude. And for a theme song I feel that this was a great PV.

Haha yeah it's really hard to please everyone especially when her fanbase is so huge.

But I didn't really mean that she should do PV's which are like GAME part II or something, of course that wouldn't be good xD What I mean is I just hope she would drop the diva thingy. Ever since she's started doing it I haven't been able to relate to her in a way I used to, and I know I'm not the only one. I don't like how she starts to remind me of all the western pop stars.

But yeah well... Good for her that many seem to like this PV though.

Sorry for being "uptight".

Though maybe jewels = easy to break (vulnerable) and the grey outfit symbolizes her indecidedness between breaking or obyeing the rules just like grey is a colour in between black and white?

(LOL Over-analyzing can be so much fun. ^^; )

I think the director wanted to make her stand out in those scenes and that's the best way he could think of I suppose hehe.

Now, I was dissapointed with the PV. For such an energetic and in-your-face song, I was watching this PV expecting it to be somewhat of the same: energetic, fast paced and a alot of dancing. I don't know, but until the last scene (the dance scene where ayu actually dances), I was constantly being let down because I wanted this PV to be fast and action packed, I wanted it to be so much more.

I honestly think the PV kills the song...

You have no idea how much the lyrics relates to the PV =D

About the action packed thing, well... the director can't fulfill everyone's exact wishes.
They gave energy throughout the PV though.
Because it does have meaning and does relate to the lyrics it couldn't be only and forward too much action packed, though it was in many bits.

Need better quality, you can't make out much with this LQ video.

But I like it. I think the PV is just entertainment, the meaning is either not there or just too hidden.

Definitely not her best, but good. I actually prefer the Green/Days PVs to this one.

And the PV makes the song sound a lot better.

yea ^^

i agree lol
she've got soo many fans from different tastes, etc etc, even countries! lol

i just hope that people starts to be a little bit more empathic and understand where she comes from with her work. thats all

Not~Yet · #89 10th February 2009, 10:52 AM

^I know what you mean. And it's not like this PV is unbelievably bad or anything. I just wished it would've had more plot and action. And at least she dropped her diva attitude for better compared to MW. xD

And I actually liked the last group dance scene even though I still wish it would've been totally crazy from what she's been telling in TA messages ("i got bruises" etc) like someone already said.

But I think since this song was made for the dragonball movie it has to have a more commercial feel and the plot has to be simple and easily undestandable so it's okay.

Lanz16 · #90 10th February 2009, 10:55 AM

I like the PV but not that much.

I like the new concept like t2m does.
The PV is very artistic and symbolic as I see.

Shuuya reminds me of Kakashi from naruto series.

majrakun · #91 10th February 2009, 10:56 AM

When she first came out of that door, I was freaking out a little because I thought she'd be walking like that for until the first chorus at least. Thank goodness it wasn't!

I really loved the japanese setting. It was amazing. I was hoping for a dark PV, but the tatami mats and ninjas totally made up for it. I think Ayu looked really hot when she was singing while sitting down. The jewel Ayu, although pretty, was random. Was she even wearing anything other than the gloves and earrings? Sure it matched the slow parts, but the transition wasn't really the best.

I like the dancers' tattoos. I wish Ayu had one too. I wonder if they were hand-painted?

Gomi & Ryoji: Double Dragon

I thought those were pretty sweet.

Oooh, really? So I guess that's what was written in the background and depicted on their tattoos as well? That's awesome!

Btw, did anyone see how Gomi just lifted Ryoji up in the air for a few seconds during their solo? That was WHOA.

Yeli13 · #92 10th February 2009, 11:05 AM

Good thing, I'm not disappointed by the PV. I was expecting something bad, but the PV is pretty. The opening with Ayu's name and the song "on fire" is very appealing, and I love the camera effects. Moreover, they included several Special effects that give the PV a special style.
When I first saw the jewelled Ayu, I though "What's the matter", but coupled with the bird it makes sense

And an interesting note: Ayu in her gown/gloves... she looks very vulnerable, afraid... very different from the sexy and strong Ayu in the black suit.

woow
love ur details xDD

thanks!!

ayupan90 · #94 10th February 2009, 11:17 AM

I love it but i was slightly disappointed by the dancing, i expected more.

I should look at the lyrics then

I normally always do, dunno why I haven't now.

The PV will probably grow on me, though. On the plus side, she looks beautiful as always and the dance scene at the end was superb. I got the blue bird part straight away but yeah

As of now it's a letdown, but time will tell.

AyUmIXx · #96 10th February 2009, 11:24 AM

hmm.. don't we always love to speculate what's the meaning behind a PV (plus the song)?
and now all the sudden, ppl just think that it doesn't have meaning?
hmm that's ok though~
it's just...
very random, all the sudden, there's another Ayu who looks like a princess and looking sad & desparated maybe..
i mean it's kinda random, if it's random, so i think there's actually connection..and i just want to know what ppl think...

but anyway~~~
i just read what waterballoon posted about the 5 dragon warriors on the PV.. wow that's coool!!!
Ayu's a big fan of Kungfu Panda???

micster · #97 10th February 2009, 12:18 PM

Arguably her best video since 2006. She looks amazingly hot, the dancing is cool, theres no real story but who cares look at how hot she is. I thought I wouldnt like the video but visually it was just awesome. I think more could've been done with the video based on the song but its actually pretty much perfect. Only one question now. Why the hell are the covers like what they are if the video is like this. The song, rock. The video, black leather and hot. The covers, a load of balls. I wish the covers were better. I want a sexy poster of her in leather; not a pink monstrosity with her in a Kill Bill esque costume.

waterballoon · #98 10th February 2009, 12:45 PM

Yeah, this PV had very good camera angles and visual effects... it's really very cool.

And um, thank God the PV wasn't a random video of Ayu singing and showing snippets of the movie... I was so afraid that would be what the PV would turn to be!

micster · #99 10th February 2009, 12:47 PM

Oh thats my only bad point actually, I just remembered. Why does she always exaggerate her mouth when she mimes. Annoys me throughout Mirrorcle World and annoyed me at the beggining of this video too.

maikaru · #**100** 10th February 2009, 01:00 PM

I think it is pretty plain to see what the Ayumi in gown and jewels is..
The Ayumi in black leather of course because she her is really really powerful, would look weird and contradicting to sing those vulnerable lines.
The lyrics makes perfect sense about it, I think..
And I think the gown Ayumi really looks like her old self.. like from so many years ago, so it's really good!!!
Also I think the gown one and the blue bird are the same person..
It seems there was a storyline that the ninja dudes are looking for the gown ayu,
Cause after she sings bridge, they show the ninja guys looking and searching..
But maybe they had to cut it on for time???
Anyways, yeah, so then at the end, we see the blue bird escaping.. so it seems a connection.

And I think the Blue Bird is just a symbol that anything could live the way they want, even small bird that can escape so quickly.
I like when she sang "let's destroy them" she made those energy things... and then destroyed so many of those copy cat ninja people.
And the fighting/dancing!!
They tried to trap the Blue Bird at the beginning, when they re-locked it..
But they couldn't do it!!~
And I think she broke their masks with the wrong end of the stick thing.. ahaha

And I believe this is a LOT of intense dancing for her.
She is not a dancer, so this is great.
And I remember Zin said everyone on himself was bruised.. I can notice why!!!!

I really love this pv.. it's really great.
Much better than Green.
I can keep watching this one over and over!!!
And the camera work is amazing!!! I love the zoom in and out

Shu-ya and Zin looked so different!!!
