Today the pv for Mirrorcle World surfaced online, and people are "disappointed" with it. I like it, but by no means is it a Free & Easy or RAINBOW pv. People seem to be expecting that, but she had a different director during that time. Her videos as of late have been 'normal', just her singing and walking, or with a band, that kind of thing. What's wrong with that? Frankly, I usually don't like pvs (well, American ones), and I do like hers, even the 'boring' ones. It cracks me up how people say she needs to rest, and then they gripe about her more simple videos. XD Although, I'm not sure there's really any plotline that could've been put to this song. Free & Easy was a song of struggle, and the video had a Joan of Arc type plot. RAINBOW was about a best friend, and the video fleshed it out into finding out that your best friend is yourself.
She's so cute in this pv, a bit overly dramatic. She's walking down this walkway (in Paris), doing her hands around while she's singing. I almost laughed. XD Then towards the end she's in a clear phone booth surrounded by agents dressed in black. She looks back and forth from each one with this crazy faces. XD
Ah, an english translation of an interview with Ayu was posted at Divine Ayu. *reads it now* I like what she says here:
I have carefully done alot of soul searching regarding the issue of "feeling guilty, but still life has to go on" whenever I was composing or performing. No matter how people feel sinful, since we are alive and kicking, then we should continue living on the best we could whether we are sad or happy. |

I've heard about An Cafe (Antic Cafe) for a long time, but I didn't really understand the whole Visual Kei thing...still don't. When I first saw a picture of them, I thought the members were girls. hehe However, I love their Magnya Carta album. A lot of the songs have a bouncy ska vibe without really being ska style (although at least one song does have brass). Here's videos for Maple Gunman and Kakusei Heroism ~The Hero Without a Name~.
Another one I've started to like is Kimeru, especially his Koishite Kimeru! (Kimeru Is in Love!) single with the main song and Rabu Tucchi (Love Touch). It reminds me of something else, probably some other music I've heard before, but it's very catchy & upbeat. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a music video for either of those songs, but Starry Heavens is a good song too, although the style isn't quite the same.
The third artist I'm liking now is Zwei, being introduced to them via DJ Maaya's remix of Movie Star over at AYUNITE!. This is a duo of two women (correct me if I'm wrong LOL), kind of like Savage Garden with one playing the guitar and the other singing. Here's the music video of Movie Star. |
