Here is the second part of the Ayu PVs. I will continue to post the PVs one by one as direct downloads, but I thought I’d post the second torrent now so that you can get all the PVs now if you’re tired of waiting.

I’m thinking about spending a little less time with the blog for a while, but this way you have all the Ayu PVs at least.

You can find the first part here.

Part of me is a PV that I haven’t watched that much. It came out at a time when I wasn’t following Ayu’s music that closely. It’s really nice though. I like the scene where she lets her hair down (see the thumbnail image).

This PV is only available on the DVD that comes with A Best 2 -Black-. Hmm, it seems like all the PVs from that DVD came first. But don’t fret, there’ll be PVs from A Best 2 -White- and other DVDs too.

Here’s BoA’s brand new PV for Kissing you. It’s all shot in one take with a rotating set that BoA walks around in. The song is from her upcoming single Vivid.

I was humming the tune of this song as I walked to the train after work today. The melody is pretty good. The arrangement is so-so. You can check out a live of this song here. The quality of the source video is lower than I usually use, but I’m posting it anyway since it’s new.

Oh, and this PV has the same director as Ai Otsuka’s Rocket Sneaker PV. I came to think of this when I saw the drops hanging from the umbrella in the Kissing you PV (which you can also see in Rocket Sneaker).

Rocket Sneaker (ロケットスニーカー) is Ai-chan’s latest single. I thought I’d post the PV (TV rip). It’s a pretty nice song although it doesn’t pop quite like her other songs. It’s easy on the ears though. I’ve listened to this song several times at work. The PV is a little slow perhaps, but interesting all the same. It’s one of those “frozen in time” PVs like ELT’s fundamental love or Kaela Kimura’s Rirura Riruha.

I like this song. It sounds a bit like another song, but I can’t figure out which song it is.

A classic Ayu PV. Free & Easy was also one of the first Ayu songs that caught me, so to speak. I had been told on an online forum that Ayu was good, so I downloaded a bunch of mp3’s and listened through them quickly. I immediately liked what I heard and I especially liked how varied the songs were. I had downloaded some mixed songs from Love appears and I am… plus some others (can’t really remember) and I remember thinking of the Israeli singer Noa when Ayu goes “konna, konna…” in this song.

I actually have a necklace like the one Ayu has in this PV somewhere.

Yesterday I picked up my Feena Fam Earthlight figure from the post office. I try to stay away from bikini figures, but this one was so nice, so I had to order it. The figure is sculpted by Tetsuya Yamada at Max Factory. It’s very summer-y and the there’s a breeze that makes her hair, hat and sarong (um, don’t know the English word) flow in the wind. (more…)

I remember when the Because of You PV first came out. I was sitting up late at night waiting for the download to finish. Then I watched it over and over. I think it’s a great PV. It’s dark and symbolic like the ourselves PV.

The meaning of this PV has been discussed in many J-Pop forums since day one. But nothing has been discussed as much as the white fluid that washes over the girls and that Ayu’s hands are soaked in…

The song and PV can be found on A Best 2 -Black-.
