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.

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

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.

[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.

[ExodusUK]

Very thrilling and heat stirring pv from ayu

[Cherry Dynamite]

Sooo ayu watching herself while holding a match?
Hopefully L PVs will be much better <3
I adore the song though~

[Bigtop]

Quite a bit odd there, but only two minutes?! That's not enough...

[Tom Punks]

My only problem with the PV is that wig. Omg, it's sosososososo bad. It just emphasizes the fact that her face is an exact square. :|

I love the shots of her on the TV, I wish they'd focus more on that than badwigayu. ;_;

[AyuGAME]

hmm...i need full version to interpret it...
but i think there is corelation between the PV and the story of "little match girl"
where she can find happiness when looking on the matches...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Match_Girl

Plot summary

On a cold New Year’s Eve, a poor girl tries to sell matches in the street. She is freezing badly, but she is afraid to go home because her father will beat her for not selling any matches. She takes shelter in a nook and lights the matches to warm herself. In their glow, she sees several lovely visions including a Christmas tree and a holiday feast. The girl looks skyward, sees a shooting star, and remembers her deceased grandmother saying that such a falling star means someone died and is going into Heaven. As she lights her next match, she sees a vision of her grandmother, the only person to have treated her with love and kindness. She strikes one match after another to keep the vision of her grandmother nearby for as long as she can. The child dies and her grandmother carries her soul to Heaven. The next morning, passers-by find the dead child in the nook..

i think maybe the PV has corelation to her grandmother, she really love her grandmother, right?

i love her look on the tv, so cool!!!

[ohsixthirty]

What a sad story! But I do see the similarities.

[Jwiz]

I love the Ayu in the TV. This should be her new look

[AyUmIXx]

her lips look big due to the Rimmel lipgloss she's endorsing hahaha XD

anyway, about little match girl..that could be it..
there's a similarity!
thanks AyuGAME for poiting that out!
I'm so curious about the rest...

I wonder why wig-hair Ayu seeing Ayu on TV..with such bittersweet smile~

[kotora]

Is she making wishes for each matches?

No comment at all of the plot. Beside, one thing - Her lips is so big and fake.

[Kogepan_19]

I think Ayu looks so like, mature and hot in this video. I don't think she's used this style for a while and I personally think it's so sexy haha.

The song itself is just...awesome.

[kagami]

I really like the atmosphere. And I kind of wonder if the Ayu holding the match isn't really supposed to look real? For some reason I get the feeling she's a doll or a robot haha.

[alternarist]

i find it really funny to see ayu playing with matches, and trying to light a match with another match. but i shall wait for the full PV. but the song sounded really good even though i find the tune at the beginning somewhat weird. =x

[SheFliesHigher]

I'm intrigued by the story being told in the video, but the song really doesn't grab me at all. Yet.

[sugarbasil]

I was bored beyond all belief. That's all I'll say on the matter. : /

[waterballoon]

I like the setting, mood & atmosphere of the PV, it's dark and interesting.

Her wig, eww disgusting. Her lips, yuck eww gross. I LOVE her style in the TV screen though!

& all those fruits/flowers? Whatever I think they're just her favorite flowers & fruits LOL kidding, I hope they mean something~

and I hope she burns herself at the end that will be so damn cool

[Ayu_desu]

First of all, I have a lot to say about the song:

I must say, this is the first song that I enjoyed listening to since her Secret album, which was like 4 years ago. That makes me certain that I actually do enjoy her older music style than her newer ones, since this song was composed by one of Ayu's old composer.

Ayu imo have been in a downward spiral in terms of music quality, but this song has given me hope that she may reuse her old composers and rediscover her old but excellent music style, which was what made me a fan back then.


As for the PV, I haven't really liked any of her recent PVs nor her look... this probably won't be any different, but I'll just wait for the full PV for my final judgment.

[Aditmi Krisnasaki ~II~]

the only thing I love from this PV is her hair...

I'm happy she used her "Secret" era hair yet once more~~
