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.

So pv is a music video? Ayumi sounds like a cool person from what you've posted so far. I really haven't taken the time to listen to the jpop you've sent my way. I think it's because I don't listen to music a lot in my spare time and when I do I reach for something familiar.

Messa, have you read this? It's an interview with LiveJournal's new owner translated from Russian.

A pv--promotional video--is a music video. :) It's okay! hehe

Reading now...

Then users were told, and I quote, "Even if you pay, you will receive NOTHING extra for it. Your money is a donation. Do you like the project? Donate!" Such a model was in place from 1999 to 2005.

Uh, that's a lie. I was here in 2002, and I paid...and got stuff for paying! The typical polls and so on.

LJ IS NOT A STORE!! There's no place on the web to get a free account with ads (well, that's not true, there's iJ ;)) because he's made it that way.

Wow...what a *******.Wow that last set of paragraphs takes the cake.

	I'm so glad I left even if they have more communities over there. I undeleted my roguefae account though because I still want to browse for screencaps in cap_it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yea, I'm keeping mine for music & icon resources, but I'm going to see if I can track down public journals and websites to get that stuff from instead. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Ooh, just listened to the Ayumi mp3 Mirrorcle World you sent me and I like it! Why am I surprised? XD She must be pretty awesome for you to like her so much. She has a great voice, rich sounding, you know? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	kaika_kaika 2008-03-19 03:57 pm UTC (link)
	hehe They don't call her 'Empress of Jpop' for nothing. ;) Her voice keeps getting deeper and more richer sounding over the years. It was pretty high when she started out. XD (Reply to this) (Parent)

	By the way, decided to go with marie_therese for my personal journal. I'm just going to use this one to post in iG. (Reply to this)

	Found your journal and was so happy to find an Ayu fan, so am friending. 8D I'm really still not sure if I like the Mirrorcle World PV or not, but I was definitely fascinated by it - just as I was fascinated with the song. I still need to see RAINBOW, though. D: I love most of her PVs, though. :3 (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yea I thought of that a little while ago. Having the flu has melted my brain. XD Thank you. :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

	hehe I'll friend you back. :D Ooh I can upload RAINBOW for you, if you like. :) The only ones I'm iffy on is the early ones, but they're good still. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lostdreamer 2008-03-21 04:51 pm UTC (link)
	I know a place to download it, so I'll get it from there... Eventually. XD And yeah, agreed on that. Really, her early ones are a good example of the fact that she was a new artist. I think she's improved a lot over time. I don't know how much control she has over her PVs (all or none, etc.; I just don't know enough), but I like a fair amount of them. (Reply to this) (Parent)
