Well i´m not a big fan of japanese videos, most of them are sooo low budget...
Are you kidding me? Japanese music videos (mostly avex and sony) have the most expensive videos in Asia and might as well the rest of the world except the U.S. If you are the 2nd biggest music industry in the world, there's little room to be cheap. On the other hand, you must be watching those music videos from small recording companies.
agree! take a look at ayumi hamasaki's pvs like "jewel" or "inspire".
"Hamasaki also raised media attention for the music video of "Jewel," which shows 100 million yen (almost $900,000 U.S. dollars) worth of diamonds, jewels, and Swarovski crystals. The video is one of the most expensive videos ever made." source-wikipedia
which is anything but cheap!!

in "Fairyland" she burn down the whole house..what about other pvs like glitter? they hire hongkong actors too! Her outfits are ex too! for some pvs they hire so many extras too! wad about "Voyage" ? you should see how much those costume and extras costs...
H!p may be of lower budget but that's only becos they have so many members...
