Thoughts on Walking Proud PV

Eh, it was rather confusing. I'm not going to be analytical about it, because 1. I'm lazy and 2. I don't care. The little boy was quite annoying.

The first thought that came to mind after the tunnel thing was the Kanariya PV. O_o

*yawn* I'm bored yet again.

Yay for more worthless Ayu PVs.

I thought the little boy was really cute with the whole "blue candy" thing. But the robot-people and the whole lying-on-the-message-table-theme was too weird. This PV just looks...hurried?

The absolute BEST part was the end, when she pulled down the cover off that thing.

And I thought I would be the only one that thought that >_> Har har. I love the little boy with the "do you want candy?" to that big ol' mean tree... thingy. It was really pretty, 'cept I can't really see any meaning behind it. Wee.

But as a robot.

It was interesting. I need a lot more watches to get an idea of what's going on, but I liked it. or more than the other PVs on the dvd anyway.

That was a great PV, the imagery, the scenary, the special effects.

I love how Ayu belted out those notes after the bridge. So emotional.

And when Ayu walked up to the thing, I was puzzled for a second. And whens he pulled it with such intensity, my heart skipped a beat.

But ALAS, as an Ayu PV, it still remains a mystery.

Just like the "No way to say" PV. I wonder if there is something in Ayu's life.

Cute voice over with the cute little boy, Ayu's sining is soft and smooth. imagery is nice, but it wasn't too spectular. Maybe because it lacked moments.

The person under the sheet was her, in robot form. I watched the last few seconds a few times and I am sure of it. I don't understand what it means though. Maybe nothing.

Ah, I paused it. She has that blue thing, whatever that means.

I had the feeling of "No Way to Say" at the end, the tunnel reminded me of "Kanariya" and the boy reminded me of the girl in "Dearest" and the scenery remindes me of a happier "Daybreak" This PV was cool, I absolutly adore Ayu in that short black hair! I like that kinda of cut and color put together! The PV overall, I give it a 7/10 I liked it, but there are better PVs, like Daybreak! *beams with pride*

the boi was cute..but repeatly say :do you want blue cnady" is annoying

Ayu with short black hair is pretty, but too much mirroring of Kanariya... and the point of that look?? Queen Ants???

The thing under cover is Ayu itself, isn't it?? the last second show Ayu's face... is it like Discovering herself????

ahh..this PV is pretty and confusing..... ^^

I think the part with her on the massaging talbe thing was when the Robot Ayu was being made. And then at the end, Real Ayu goes up to the sheet and pulls down the cover to show the finishd product--the robot that was the Ayu on the table.

Good question. I'm not sure either. To me, i just notice a lot of contrast. For example, in the beginning, there is the innocent child offering candy to something that looks like the grim reaper! Perhaps is it like a childhood acquaintence with death?

I have no clue what is with those other two guys tho. They look like they are middle eastern, but also robots. maybe a political or global message?

anyway, it's also interesting that underground with the busy ants is shiny ayu's secret lair! lol Tho for some reason i'm vaguely reminded of britney's jeweled outfit from her Toxic video.. prolly not supposed to be related tho ^_^`
anyway, those are just my guesses based on watching it once through... anyone with other ideas??

::has nightmares after watching this one::

I liked it alot, but it was a little dull =/ it was certainly eye candy though. Probably the best or second best PV (after Moments) to come since Free & Easy. The robot guy walking around was SO distracting!! haha.. and the guy just sitting there staring was so unsettling x.x The little kid got annoying :B but omg, that was so freaky he was asking that black scarecrow thing if he wanted candy. @.@ I don't think I could tell you the meaning of this PV if it has one...

and yeah, that's Ayu under that sheet and she's the robot. Look at her shoulder, it's got the same robotic thing as those 3 other people in the PV.

This one is VERY difficult to dissect. =/ I think we hit most of the main points but how the blue candy...or the blueness...or the scarecrow...> <; I don't understand...

It was a nice PV though. =D The nature...the effects...the singing...NICE! But that robot guy...ai...> >;; I found myself kept staring at what the heck he was doing! It was FUNNy. XDD
