[Photo] 24.07.2011「Why...」PV Preview Photo from New ViVi Deji Deji Diary

These pictures should be taken from the latest ViVi Deji Deji Diary like in the previous post.

Preview of「Why...」PV

WOW Ayu looks so stunning in the butterfly mini dress!
JUNO looks HANDSOME!

Here's the description of Why... PV described on ViVi Deji Deji Diary (by tokyoxjapanxfan @ AHS)

For Why... it looks to be inspired by Alice in Wonderland. It starts off with Ayu sleeping wearing a tank top and short-shorts, and very minimal makeup (it says suppin, which means no makeup, but I think they just made the makeup look as if she wasn't wearing anything...haha). Then the scene with Ayu in the butterfly dress is taken in a room where Ayu looks giant (a la Alice), but the walls and tables are covered in flowers.

There's also a lot of green screen, and a shot of Ayu which looks as if it could be her 'falling' into her dream? The angle of her body against the green screen and such, plus she's wearing the same outfit she was wearing in the sleeping scene. Hard to explain, you'll see it better when someone scans them haha.

Juno is wearing a black and white checkered outfit with top hat.

miyua_ricatty: ayu-chan, great job. Your heart must hurt… Do you cry during the nights when you’re alone?

himawarikun7: Review of today’s Chapter 3. Hamasaki Ayumi is strong, gentle and yet strict on herself, so much so that you wonder just what she is… That was what the performance has evolved into, to show that to a painful degree.

milk_milktea: I seriously think that, to produce this concert all the way to its most basic style, just how many times will she continue to surpass herself?? The evolving Hamasaki Ayumi has a wall in front of her evolving self. But she still manages to charm with a strength that she has never shown before!! That’s why, I will not give up on myself too!!
