Crossroad PV similar to Eminem's 'Love the way you lie' PV

[jon_the_d]

Hi guys.

I'm sure some of you will have seen Eminem and Rihanna's "Love the way you lie" music video. I only saw it recently and the fact that the girl and the guy catch fire and slowly get covered in flames instantly reminded me of crossroad.

I just checked and love the way you lie was released in august this year, so less than two months before crossroad.

If any one knows when ayu shot her crossroad PV, please feel free to tell me, but I can only assume it was after eminem's PV was aired.

Apart from the aminem PV doing a much better job of the fire eeffect and the burning, does it not annoy anyone else to see such 'lazy' PV making?

I'm not suggesting it was Ayu's idea, maybe it was, maybe it was the director or whoever. Maybe it was just a big coincidence, but I somehow doubt it.

Anyway, I just want to say, I usually really enjoy ayu's pvs. I think they are well thought out and have interesting ideas and messages. So to see what appears to be a lazily ripped off idea, executed rather less impressively, is a big disappointment.

Anyone know anymore about this? what do you all think?

PS. I Love ayu ridiculous amounts, so don't accuse me of hating. I was just disappointed by the idea that one of her PVs was mostly a rip off. I'd expect her to not allow that.
