Missakura, I understand you. Now I know why I feel uncomfortable watching this PV.

But, I like this single very much, the second track is nice, I like her voice as usual so I'm happy :)

Man, CdJapan is crazy fast. Got it this morning.
The case looks really good. The mirror theme is cool (her legs are so thin).
Umm, anyway, besides maybe reaching a bit on the high notes, she sounds good on 'Saigo no kajitsu', 'Mitsubachi to kagakusha' sounds lighter, her voice sounds crystal clear. Solaya did a nice job with the music.
'Mitsubachi' can be your site's theme track Megumi. :D

And I didn't get freebie posters. :cry:

[quote="Kaimugen"]Sounds like you need some time out Sakura.
The emo look may not entirely suit her (Maaya), but the song sounds nice.[/quote]

I wasn't talking about the song, I was talking about the video. I'm a videographer so I look at that stuff critically :wink:

It mainly bothers me because they (label) probably paid a lot for the video and they've (the video company) come up with the most generic half assed video possible. Even though honey come and yuuani loop were pretty cheesy/poorly produced videos at least they were different and had some thought behind them. So I preferred them to this.

This video reminds me of the hashiru video but I much prefer the hashiru video because at least it kind of makes sense.

I like to think of Maaya as an intelligent young woman and I would like to think that videographers and record labels don't just think of her as a dumb barbie who should just look pretty and not have any creative thought behind what she sings and does. But that's what this video makes me think, and I don't like it.

I bow to professional critique. :D
That Victor would bother with the pv then is a surprise since Maaya isn't a big name. This stuff is aimed at fanboys anyway.

Well for Victor she's a relatively high earning artist, when you look at the number of albums that she has released and people she has worked with she's relatively high priority. Victor isn't a big label. I don't know who made her video but I reckon they wouldn't have spent under 1.5 mil yen on it. If they can release a box set of 30 minutes night flight they've obviously making enough money from Maaya to justify PVs.

i like hashiru more since both the song and the colors are nicer... and of course honey come pv was cute,, i won't bother to see that pv repeatedly.. especially for the scene of maaya looking above with her skirt expanded. it made a beautiful doll fogure of maaya!!

I actually think artistically this is her best video yet---her previous videos were childish and annoying and low budget, and the video quality and the camera angles this time are much better. I just felt like they put more thought into this one.

I liked the way the case opens out. But I'm really gutted about no posters! Waaah! Maaya doesn't love us anymore!

So what's the verdict on the songs Megumi?
