[Review] REAL TIME PV WHAT, I DON’T EVEN. WOWEE. (Pink Wota)
[Review] Real Time PV Review: ‘BALLAD’

As you may or may not know, Hamasaki Ayumi is releasing a new single later this month called You were…/BALLAD.  Vee of Pink Wota is a big Ayu fan, so she’s done real-time reviews for this single’s PVs.  Both PVs are really… um, interesting. On the bright side, it makes for great commentary!

First we have You were…’s PV. Wow, this PV is… an experience, to say the least. It’s one of those things you can’t even begin to grasp unless you watch it (and even then, you’ll be WTF’ing all over the place). There’s Ayumi looking pretty, a glove bear, terrifying glowing people things, explosions, and light-up dresses. And if you didn’t know, this song is a ballad. A really nice ballad, too, which just makes this PV even more bizarre than it is on it’s own.  What makes this even more amusing is Vee’s commentary.  It’s mainly her being totally dumbfounded, which is completely understandable.

BALLAD, on the other hand, is actually quite nice.  There are a few WTF moments.  For example, the cats.  I have no idea what they were thinking.  But yeah, this PV is really pretty and heartbreaking overall.  Even so, Vee manages to make multiple snarky jokes and comments that put a smile on my face.
