wow, cool.
Her heavy rock songs are actually comparable to J-rock singers. In fact she's better then some of them.
Utada is so badass

Quote:

"Uso Mitaina I Love You" was a rock song. But yes, this song and performance is awesome.

Yes, I've seen it before, it's one of her best performances, song sounds even more emotional than in studio version.

The whole PV if funny. Sometimes Hikki's so clumsy, like in dance scene, as someone has already mentioned above. That's that kind of video which may seem silly and incomprehensible or some people, but it goes straight to every fan's heart.

I just realised something interesting at the end when the pigeons were released.

Utada was quite surprised when the pigeon circled around her
LOL it was so funny and cute.

And there's this lazy pigeon that didn't want to fly and ended up in the middle of the ground !!

Show me love is amazing !
Don't know if u've seen this already http://vimeo.com/28718421

The video works pretty well and probably the closest thing u can get for a PV.
Her vocals are so powerful~ Not bad for her first Heavy Rock song ^ ^

I'd also go 誰かの願いが叶うころ and Passion, Be My Last if fine, but Passion PV stole my heart (maybe except the scene with horses, feels weird). Keep Tryin' was very heart-warming, as well.

"Actually we were to shoot the PV of 'Hikari' with him (Kazuaki Kiriya) but it didn't come true due to his scheduling conflicts at the last moment and that's why we requested Kiriya urgently to shoot that dish-washing video."

I heard about it, too. But if she enjoyed it, then I guess it's alright. The most important thing is song itself, not PV.

However, I regret that there's no video for . Show me Love (Not a Dream). Goodbye Hapinnes was a perfect choice to say "goodbye" to us, fans, but Shoe me Love also deserved PV

yea !! especially Be my Last and 誰かの願いが叶うころ (When Someone's Wish Comes True). I think the concept is quite direct and the feelings are well expressed.

Anw, I found a quote from Utada for "Hikari" PV :

"Actually we were to shoot the PV of 'Hikari' with him (Kazuaki Kiriya) but it didn't come true due to his scheduling conflicts at the last moment and that's why we requested Kiriya urgently to shoot that dish-washing video."

It could have been better but it doesn't matter now. It was still enjoyable and had good sales :)

Japanese PVs are often like that. I.e. one of my fauvorite japanese band, Kalafina's videos are all the same: they are just standing and singing, sometimes they are walking around. I like Godbye Happiness PV, that effect with Utube was awesome, and references to her past PVs was cute. Still, for me the best PVs were from Ultra Blue era.

She is terribly cute in this PV !!
I would say she's just portraying her playful personality lol...

For some reason I keep relating to the PV "Hikari" where she's juz chillin' and washing plates ..that pv was kinda boring -.-
I mean its a meaningful song but seriously, washing plates?

best pv ever. ilove hikki
