I can't wait or momentum to leak as well...only after 1LOVE though...
*still looking forward to pole-dancing Ayu*
-
^ I know, right? How cool is Not yet? :D :heart:
*waits faithfully for momentum :D*
-
I'm officially obssessed with momentum^^ :heart: LOL Now I can't wait for the PV to leak, either!
Edit: Btw, Ayu looks *HAWT* in the milli-second clip of the 1 LOVE PV you can glimpse in the SECRET album CM!
Check it out ---> http://youtube.com/watch?v=vjGIRpL8Ua8
-
I refuse to watch that CM until the PV leaks...it better be tomorrow...
-
momentum's up at jpopsuki if anyone cares. *downloading it now*
-
bah, beat me to it, of course we care, this is teh Ayu thread
*d/ls right now*
-
w00t, just watched it, the PV kicked major ass. I'm a sucker for snow in PVs, it makes everything look beautiful, and it really accentuated Ayu's beauty :D
now all thats left is 1LOVE...where are you...?
-
Probably coming on Wednesday, RionZ~
-
momentum is an awesome song and the pv is very good :D
and sad, I guess. who can tell me what's the story about? and the lyrics... :P
-
People are supposing that she's a ghost that people 'miss' and that is why they looked at where she was standing.. but it made it look like they really didn't know who the heck she was and they were ignoring her.
Some have thought that her 'father' is the old man with the flowers, and that the 'love' in the lyrics is that of a father's love..
momentum from masa@AHS
The days when I loved you were the last miracle to me
The season when everyone longs to be around people
Has come again this year
With warmth and coldness
I remember the day
When we were too young with no knowledge about the world and walking
Laughing together and hanging on each other
What excuse should I make
For this wave of pain?
Even in the night I'm freezing alone in white snow
My love for you is my last courage
I wonder if I'm so stupid
Just waiting for the time passage
Believing that I'll surely be forgiven some day
* I hold the rush of feelings
So that it may not spill down
Until the day our hands reach white snow
My love for you is my last courage
* (repeat)
Even in the night I'm freezing alone in white snow
Until the day our hands reach white snow
My love for you is the last forever to me
That I could meet you was the first miracle to me
-
^ Now I know why I fell in love with this song~ Ayu knows just how to capture the perfect feeling of sadness in her songs. I can totally see how it would relate to her "relationship" to her absent father through the lyrics, too~ Gorgeous Ayu song with a gorgeous PV, I'm sure! :heart:
*off to watch momentum PV*
Btw, I broke down and ordered SECRET after all :P LOL I'm getting the Hong Kong Edition from YesAsia, which is only $19.99 and comes out a day after the Japanese version, 11/30! I pre-ordered the Jacket A edition because I love that close-up shot of Ayu~ It's exactly similar to the Japanese version too, except you don't get the poster XD LOL But the DVD with the PV's still comes with it and you can't go wrong with the price! The Hong Kong Jacket B edition is only $17.99 too, I believe^^
-
After seeing PV and reading translation I love momentum even more than before:inlove:

Well, she never knew her father, right? So "that I could meet you was the first miracle to me" could reference meeting up with him for the first time (obviously)?
-
^ That's true! Although the more I read the lyrics, the more it could go either way~ this song could be about her father or a kind of "lost love." For example, this part makes me think it might be about her father: "Until the day our hands reach white snow/My love for you is my last courage."
But then, these lines make me think it might just be a love song: "I remember the day/When we were too young with no knowledge about the world and walking/Laughing together and hanging on each other" and "I wonder if I'm so stupid/Just waiting for the time passage/Believing that I'll surely be forgiven some day." That last line especially gives me the impression Ayu is talking about someone she once loved romantically because she is asking for forgiveness~ and I'm not sure she would be wanting forgiveness if her father was the one who abandoned her in the first place.
Overall, I am *in love* with this song! :heart: It's a perfect example of the Ayu I know and adore^^
-
I was thinking it was about her father but anyways it was a beautiful PV. That city was like Prague covered in snow. I wonder why the old man was western if it was about father's love. It would be nice if she really revealed some secrets in PVs like some part of her tattoo is real in 1LOVE.
-
^ Ayu seems to have an obsession with Western people :P LOL If you notice, she uses a lot of Western people in her PV's^^ Like in the PV for STARTIN... LOL That was the funniest PV I've ever seen!
-
I think Ayu writes lyrics so that her fans can relate them to their own lives. They come from her own experiences, but she leves them open ended.
That video was so sad, and so beautiful :cry:
-
^ I still haven't seen it! XD Does anyone have the direct download?

Here's a link to momentum~
-
Finally watched momentum this morning~ Ayu is so beautiful! :heart: I loved the whole atmosphere of it and her styling couldn't have been better. I want a cute winter coat-dress like that! :heart: LOL
Now to wait for 1 LOVE...
-
*bump*
:heart: 1 LOVE PV on youtube! ---> http://youtube.com/watch?v=Rg4pbaa6PwU :heart:
-
^It's nice to see finally a real Otaku in PV also :D He looked fine to me as there were also quite a freaks. I nearly started to download it also elsewhere but noticed it was for Real Player -there's no AVI version yet.
-
^ where did you see it for download? I'd like a direct download to it, if you know where there's one :D {off to watch it on youtube right now!}
-
The 1 LOVE PV is *AWESOME* :ONding: Could Ayu be any hotter on that pole? Could that otaku guy be any more hilarious? And could she not make another more interesting social statement with her videos? This PV is :heart: wrapped up in *WIN*!
-
The otaku's weirdness came from that he had a resin-model of something that wasn't appropriate.. aka probably hentai or something.
-

You probably have the link already but anyways here it is.

It looks like she has a real tattoo in the 1LOVE PV. a piece of a heart and A. Something you can see also on the album cover.
-
As far as my favorite new PV, I like JEWEL and Momentum the most. I think 1 LOVE is like the alterna of its time. Only a ton weirder. I'm going to go take some screencaps if anyone's interested! since I have the vobs~
+200 1LOVE caps - 5mb zipped download here (http://www.fileupyours.com/files/53146/1LOVE.zip)
Sample quality: here (http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a183/alterna_/secret_vob_caps/1LOVE1.jpg)
-
That sample looks like great quality, Gray :heart:
Recently, my favorites are jewel and momentum also, but my all time favorites have to fairyland and bluebird...can't think of others at the moment, these are the four that stand out to me lately o.0
-
Oh I forgot to mention my all time favorites haha. I like Free & Easy and Rainbow, since I usually like PVs with a plot.
-
Hm... This is a hard one! XD LOL Of the new PV's, I really like momentum and 1 LOVE~ JEWEL was really gorgeous, but kind of boring XD I like the weird Ayu PV's! LOL Although I will agree, alterna was really strange~ but not as strange as Ladies Night o_O
For older PV's~ I'm going to go with Gray on Free & Easy^^ It's one of my favourite songs and the PV is definitely win for its plot! I loved her whole Joan of Arc phase for that one^^ :heart: I also love the PV for M~ Ayu looks so gorgeous in that wedding dress! :ONding:
-
ah, i totally agree, 1LOVE is totally in the same fashion/essence/feel of Alterna, and I love the pole dancing Ayu :heart:
-
I think some of Ayu's best PVs are the ones that don't appear to have symbolism, but do.
Some PVs try really hard to look symbolistic [they're still good of course] but it sort of just.. looks weird. Like About You with all the flashing scenes and weird-stuff going on..
-
I'd like to discuss one of my favorite PV's, Rainbow (http://www.veoh.com/videoDetails.html?v=e117130ZyZmG37F).
There's something so mysterious about this song to me, like, why wouldn't she include it in her album "Rainbow" at the last minute? Why was it saved for one of her least known albums? And what the heck is the PV about? XD Clearly the PV theme is important because she continues the theme of "two Ayus" even into the cover of "A Ballads" (http://img.verycd.com/posts/0606/post-331167-1150918262.jpg)
I feel like maybe it represents Ayu always trying to keep up with both sides of herself (just because she seems to be chasing herself hrough a lot of it), one that's a performer and song writer and one that likes to keep her emotions private and reserved.
-
Aw, my threads are getting deleted o___o... x__x; *dead*

I really love the Rainbow PV too :heart: It's definitely one of Ayu's more serious PV's and I have to say I totally agree with your analysis of it. The end was especially meaningful for me, since I saw the two Ayus sitting together to talk as Ayu coming to terms with herself. However, when one of the Ayus disappears at the end, I think it means that even though she might have a better understanding of herself, she will never truly be able to reconcile her two sides. Also, I think the Ayu she chases represents her insecure, frightened self~ the one who perhaps still isn't over the fact that her father abandoned her, can't understand her mother, etc. Thus, the "stronger" Ayu chases her, wanting to comfort her^^ At least, that's what I think :heart:

What do you mean? Which threads, Gray?

I totally agree! And you're compleatly right about the end part, I hadn't even thought about that! The lyrics (I read the translation before) talk about her father directly too) I just love that PV :heart: the song too, I think it's genious :inlove:
-
^ Me, too^^ :heart: I don't know why they stuck it on A BALLADS, though XD LOL Like you said, they should have put it on RAINBOW (which I believe they were supposed to have~ At least it was listed as a track title when RAINBOW was first being released, if I remember right XD LOL)
-
^ Yup, the original track list had it as #00 XD, I have no idea why they did that o.0
-
They intended on creating the full track after the album.
The track '00' was an instrumental for people to draw inspiration from and submit lyrics/words/sentences to a website so that Ayu could look over them and write lyrics from those for the full RAINBOW. :]
-
^ Oh wow! I didn't know that, is that instrumental still floating around?
-
Hm... I wonder why I never got a track 00 on my copy of RAINBOW XD
-
The track 00 was a firstpress only thing, I think..
Or there was like a slip of paper which let you go to some website to listen to the melody..
Track 00[or 01 or something] on the DVD AUDIO ver. of RAINBOW has the song RAINBOW in it :]
-
^ Oh... Okay, that makes sense. I didn't get a first pressing XD
-
*bump*
I can't believe I forgot my all-time favourite PV of all time~
my name's WOMEN! :inlove: That PV is soooo much *LOVE*! LOL Hot guys, hot Ayu, whips~ Plus, who can forget Ayu in glasses at the beginning? So kawaii!^^ :heart:
