Seriously.

Another boring PV like MOON IMO, sadly.

[love in music]

there's still about 3 more minutes left of the PV. if nothing much happens then it can be called boring, but there still is a lot left to see

[ohsixthirty]

i'm sure there are lots of surprises left in store for us.

btw, when she stands up in the red dress did anyone notice how cool it looked? i guess the footage is slowed down or something? the dress was so flowy and beautiful.

She just looks trannylicious.

Same! And it looks like it has a black ribbon tied around the waist, I love dresses like that it's beautiful.

The short ver. looks very promising even more so than MOON. Still think matching lighting Ayu looks pretty but weird, TV Ayu is omfggg gorgeous! The smiling and match lighting took on more of a creepy tone here... so many possibilities... I really hope the climax doesn't disappoint.

^i love her creepy reflection in the TV screen.

the rest...

Spoiler:

^some flowers.


^this is flashed onscreen quickly and the red is expanding...almost like blood, but it totally looks like a strawberry! i even see the seeds.


^a weird leaf.


^when she first picks up the match book, this flashes onscreen briefly.


^and a rose. the rose flashes onscreen a lot.

i have no clue what any of it means, but i love trying to catch all those things that flash too quickly to really see in PVs like this.

[noisy_harmony]

^ I definitely see a strawberry here!

One thing hasn't changed. That damn symbolism in her PVs

who knows what any of it means though?

i was really hoping maybe one of those flashes would give away something that was coming up in the full PV.

the only think i see was the scene where she is standing there and the matchbook is in the foreground.

also, regarding the match...i really think she's about to drop it. in the end she is lowering it further and further down. i'm just so sure she will drop it.

The short edit makes it really intriguing, I'm so curious to find out how it's gonna unfold. It's nice to see her PVs have taken a turn for the better quality wise recently, it looks well made.

lol she still looks odd, something is definitely off, but idk about Courtney Love. xD

It's like this picture:



While no way near as bad, it's the same confusion I get. I can't quite put my finger on what is off, but off it is.

[ohsixthirty]

i was just thinking...

+ =

what i mean is that her reflection in the screen reminds me a lot of the rainbow cover with those straight bangs, while the image on the TV screen looks like those from My Story. it reminds me a lot of the image from that correction supplement from My Story, but i couldn't find that picture. i know its just coincidence, but i couldn't help seeing it.

and zoomzoom, i get what you are saying. i've seen her face look like this before too, but i can't quite place where, or what it is thats off.

[love in music]

well they blurred like her entire face and hands and arms etc. pretty lame. i know they do that in most videos but it seems like too much in this one.

It's like this picture:

Just the way her lips and eyes looked reminded me of Courtney Love and her "new" face.

If anything this PV reminds me of Don't look back especially with the flashing images of flowers.

We must have been watching different pvs. Love MOON, hate the pv.

[Keiichi_JPU]

I like it! I'm not in love, but it's far more interesting than the MOON ~short edit~ PV There's so much more potential!

I love how she's also playing on the TV, it makes the PV a lot more interesting because otherwise she would just have been sitting there, like in MOON. And I also love her creepy reflection in the TV, and I'm curious what they're gonna do with the matches. She has to burn a bit more, right!

And she looks GORGEOUS

That MY STORY photoshoot is exactly what I thought of when I saw that part of the PV.

or we must just have different opinions ayu getting oil poured all over her + the shattered chandelier is one of my favorite scenes in ayu PV history. i hope crossroad has something amazing like that. i hope something gets burned down

awesome! and you even found the picture i was originally looking for.

maybe its just the silhouette, but i can't get the comparison out of my mind.
