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.
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.
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-.
I’ve been kind of detached from Ayu’s music for a while, but listening to Mirrorcle World sucked me right back in. The PV was shot in Paris (obviously). The song is stronger than the PV though.

Dearest is one of my favourite Ayu songs, if not the favourite. This PV is also one of the first I watched when I started listening to Ayu back in 2003, along with M and Evolution (also coming up). Ayu looks fantastic in this PV!

The song and PV can be found on A Best 2 -Black-. Stay tuned for more Ayu PVs.
Since it’s Ayu’s 10th anniversary as artist this year, I thought I’d post some Ayu stuff on the site. I’m almost ashamed about how few Ayu related posts I’ve made this far.
So, let’s start with some pictures:

I plan to post some of Ayu’s PVs, sized for the PSP. It’s a mix of my favourite PVs and some PVs that I haven’t watched much and wanted on my own PSP. I will post these PVs over the course of a few weeks, but if you want a bunch of them now you can download them via the torrent below:

Each year Ayu releases an über-symbolic ballad PV right before christmas. This time it’s the song Together When…
I love the more symbolic of Ayu’s PVs, and this one is a great example of that. I was so disappointed in her last PV where everything seemed mediocre and fake. I couldn’t make myself post it here. I remember thinking that Together When… sounded nice when I first listened to the song, but the PV takes it to another level. And Ayu looks great in it (just look at the thumbnail below).

One more video is coming up later today or perhaps tomorrow. Then I’ll take some time off from the blog. Don’t hesitate to leave a comment if you find something you like on this site or for whatever other reason. Or click on my YesAsia links before you place your next order.
Just some nice Ayu pictures to look at while I’m too busy to update the blog

Two of my favourite artists are releasing Best of albums soon. Ayu is releasing her A Best 2 - white and A Best 2 - black, that are two best of CDs with different songs. The black version has one new song called Part of me. Both versions come as CD only or in a bundle with two DVDs containing the PVs for the songs and a documentary film from CDL 06-07. Ayu’s new albums go on sale February 28. I think I’m going to wait for the overseas version though because I have bought so many CDs recently and I have most of the material already (songs and PVs).
One month later, on March 28, Ai Otsuka is releasing her first Best of album 愛 am Best. Some have called this “just a singles collection”, which is more or less true, but it also comes with a DVD that, as far as I understand, contains all the PVs for the songs on the album. I’ve been wishing for an Ai PV collection, so I’ll get this album (though I’ll probably get the overseas version for this one as well).
Here are some HQ pictures of Ayu’s A Best 2:
