Part of me PV! - Page 8

Just amazing! It's really a visual spectacle! The symbolism, everything, it's just perfect! One of the best PVs we've seen from Ayu in quite a while.

Mirai Noah · #**142** 21st February 2007, 05:12 PM

Well, I like it. The imagery is very beautiful, and I can handle the lipstick.

I haven't watched the video yet! I'll be watching it tonight. I hope it's good.

Chibi_Venus · #**144** 21st February 2007, 08:36 PM

Whoa, I'm late! XD

The PV was spectacular! The only thing that bothered me was how her "lover" was played by Shu-Ya. Ayu, either marry the guy or just use Tomoya in your videos!

(kidding.)

Just a few things I personally loved...
o The PV itself reminded me of Voyage. Or, actually, Tsuki ni Shimizu. Just the scenery and all of it.
o I love the image of her 1:04/05 into the video.
o I admire all of the Japanese background in this video.
o The build up to the first chorus gives me chills!
o The food chain thing! Freaky, but it all leads to my next point.
o SYMBOLISM!! Ayu, I love you!
o Her voice! It sounds... normal! Well, I can't describe it, but it has that tone that just suits her. It's not squeaky (1999-2000), it's not nasaly (RAINBOW), it's not "cute" (MY STORY), and it's not singing-in/through-her-voice (Secret). It's... perfect!
o I didn't care for her image with the off-white lighting except for the one of her 3:54-38 into the video. Beautiful!
o Her falling towards the ground reminded me of a certain character (Heat) from a certain game (DDS) when he dies in a battle. ^^
o The embracing of Ayu's character and her lover strangely look like a scene that could've been used in an awesome movie inspired by a game (FFVII). ^^

I have fallen in love with Ayu all over again.

And I am overjoyed.

^_^

Its a beautiful PV.. especially when she pulls the hair ornaments out and falls to the ground... props to ayu for pulling it off so well :3
but.. is it just me or when she's falling her hair looks similar to Chii's from Chobits ;S

Beautiful PV I liked it a lot! I.m going to watch it 4ever!; as far as the song, I.m not a big fan yet.. I think is too short and it wouldn.t have hurt the PV if the birds came from the painting.. or something like that. but is good! like nuttin she has done before!

just one more comment, I like PVs with good sound effects Heaven would have been really awful if it didn.t have sound effects it.s so a dramatic when the train arrives and the music builds up!, so not necessarily they have to be banned, PLUS when there is too much "action" in the background or something of the sort, looks weird when some PVs don.t add sound effects, I hate when that happens... u_u.

HEAVEN was the only exception, I admit. But that PV doesn't have sound effects over almost 1/4 of the PV. The sound effects in PVs like Real me and walking proud (and this) totally blows though.

I.LOVE.IT. it's tremendously beautiful. a wonderful job. the make up was reasonably good not to appeal but to set a certain emotion... mostly its the ART of it all... the red lipstick keeps ur eyes on her mouth, as she sings, for a certain reason despite the pale setting and pale kimono. however, in the red setting, she has pale make up besides the dark eye make up... its to balance everything out. it also may hold something open to interpretation. its filled with many things that are to be analyzed and interpreted. its a complex music video. i loved it... and can't stop watching it... i think its one her best PVs since... a long time...

Hana<3 · #**149** 21st February 2007, 09:42 PM

I dun like it at all, everything looks.. so fake o_O I've seen much better vids, it's so boring imo

panda87 · #**150** 21st February 2007, 09:45 PM

but i must also say... the song isn't that great... the lyrics are beautiful, but the music... its getting hold ayu... this sound is gettin old. go back to something like hanabi or rainy day or something new new new!... something calm and consuming.

Choyan · #**151** 21st February 2007, 10:26 PM

20kg kimono...x-x....

the head pieces wouldn't be made from metal, it'll be too costly XD...well...just not needed anyway, even for ayu.
It's most likely to be from all the kimono layers. and real silk >_> silk is heAVY xD

sorry this is going to be off topic below XD

japanese dramas are always like that with hidden messages and over the top sequences in a simple location, Kill Bill is heavily inspired on old japanese movies and look what it came out.

I thought the director based Kill Bill on old HK movies >_>....

Whoa. 20kg? o.o Must've been a loud THUD when she fell. xD

Kikaru · #**153** 21st February 2007, 11:24 PM

I think 20KG is twice the weight of my schoolbag with my stuff in it.

Maybe that's why she fell.

OMG you've just made me guess it now! It weighted 20kg because it was full of potato chips inside, ayu was one huge bag of potato chips! This is why when she fell, potato chip cracking noises started annoying the entire PV LOL.

minkAYuko · #**155** 21st February 2007, 11:55 PM

Lol!

Ani_C · #**156** 22nd February 2007, 12:47 AM

I liked the PV, not my fave but it was quite nice

As for the part with Ayu and the uber blonde hair and uber red lipstick...I loved it xDD I don't know why but I just do hahaha!

MariachiGurl2005 · #**157** 22nd February 2007, 03:51 AM

the pv was good. the song is eh. but the guy she was hugging...OMG what a hunk o.o but wow! must be one heavy kimono o.o the red lipstick makes her look like a singing smiling ghost o.o which i find creepy. but its the pv ish fine, i like the whole nature with the butterfly and the prayingmantis, and the snake, that was cool

Yarumi · #**158** 22nd February 2007, 04:35 AM

such a beautiful PV! I especially LOVE her voice right at the last building of the chorus! It is so beautiful when there is barely any music in the bg... I love this song

Yabisi · #**159** 22nd February 2007, 05:03 AM

Art worthy of art xD There is alot of symbolism in this pv, and the colors are very stunning. Yes, Ayu did look kind of older in some parts where she was in white, but all in all, the video was great.

Choyan · #**160** 22nd February 2007, 05:10 AM

Hmm... It probably wasn't that heavy to wear, from experience...I had this Extremely heavy jacket, it's heavy to hold by hand, but when you WEAR it, it's a lot less heavy, so yeah.
