I think she wanted to project the full "Ayu" illusion that it was gonna be a normal video with fancy movements and a pretty dress but then by the time the chorus came along, that was all gone.
The lyrics also kinda match. Quote:

i really liked this video! way better than any A ONE videos to me i'm pleased with the cut they wasn't shown earlier, didn't disappoint me at all all i see is her wanting to get rid off the shit she is surrounded with, it makes me think tho - when she was on top, she didn't really feel like herself? did she hate it back then as well? sad to see her feeling this way about the time she was no.1 but i guess it gets tiring after almost 20years
has she gave any hints about her not being happy before this era? |

Slay queen - I love seeing angry Ayu, she has a very expressive face. Yet, I must say, I really, really wanted her to break something for reals. The flowers weren't enough, I wish that they had manipulated the video so that the mirror was presented as breaking. Essentially - I wanted everything to explode in the vein of Is this LOVE?, but hey, this PV still presented and conveyed the betrayal that Ayu wanted to express.
I will also note that the ending was quite strange, I suppose I wanted to see a scene of closure, or a more solidified ending? Also, it wasn't a technically appeasing ending either. It would have been more acceptable if it wasn't a mere still frame, but rather had faded to black with her anxious panting being the last impression of the PV that the viewer takes away. This is just nit picking, overall it was interesting PV. |

EDIT: and holy shit that slo-mo and perfect timing of flower-throwing make me like this video so much better. They give the impression that the whole thing is perfectly staged to match the song instead of just one verse+one chorus lip-sync, followed by random acts of chaos Last edited by Deep snow; 23rd June 2016 at 09:30 AM. |

Sometimes I interpret her selective lip-syncing as her inner voice (conscience, perhaps?) or whisper from somewhere, hopefully you know what I mean here, like what happened in Sweet scar PV, at the end of the song she stops singing, and those last sentences are something she wants to hear, or wish.

Holy sh*t, her glance at the very end screams "I'll kill you!" :O
By the way, why are you so surprised that her acting is synchronized with the music ??? When they shoot a music video, the music is always playing along... |

Wow, I really like the full video! The part with her in the shower was really great, almost felt like we shouldn't be watching this breakdown, and here we are - still watching. It was really unsettling. It really was like it's something she's actually done - try to wash everything away. Such a good video, I think I love it more than really like it haha

I think it might be the one-cut thing plus the slow motion bit placed in there. Not like they couldn't manipulate that though during filming to account for it though.

I got goosebumps at the end.
I really like the video. She could throw that pot though at the mirror or she could just grabbed it and slammed it at the bathroom floor or wall or something oh well wasted opportunity

FLOWER kinda reminds me of Ruby Rose's Break Free video clip:

barks mention that ayu rehearsed before shooting video, because she had only one attempt to cut the hair
|

Isn't that a wig?
|
#33
|
||||
|

it is. but maybe she had only one?

I was supposed to focus on Ayu, but damn that hotel room looked super comfortable
It seems like Ayu is soooo done with the "Diva" image she had for years, she kept trying to "clean" herself in the MV... kinda the same thing with Mad World mv? It was clear that she's trying to start over since A ONE.

Such a shame it did not really take off from what we already have seen.
But omg, she restored any disappointment or whatsoever with that last look of hers. So intense!

It was a nice pv. Kinda haunting to me. Clearly she's tired of what everyone wants her to be. Even though she cut her "hair" I was expecting her to rip off the wig during the shower part since she's seemed to be washing away everyone's expectations of her. The look at the end was cool but scary. Like she's so tired of the camera and was just like "get out of my face".

I was scared with her looking at the camera with that angry face :O
It looked like she was lost in some parts of the video. The danger with one shot videos is to keep always interesting things (like utada's goodbye happiness) or it might become a bit boring at some point. But overall I like it; I like much more Mad World's one. Some of her latest videos have a really bad lip-sync, these too have it too, might it be intetional? I like the fact that it could be seen as an artistry thing, but at the same time, it looks a bit weird.

I agree that the ending could have been a little better, but overall I really liked the PV.

If there are blood and dead body in the room and she acts like that, the PV would be completely different and scary.
