Music video: Ayumi Hamasaki - Don't look back

Music video: Ayumi Hamasaki / 浜崎あゆみ - Don't look back | Random J Pop

Well this video is nice and depressing for an Easter Bank holiday afternoon. It reminds me a lot of the depressing, duality, death themed music videos Ayumi ran with for Rainbow But it was a really good video. One of the best from Rock 'n roll circus, alongside the Heaven's postman themed "Ballad" video.


I wasn't keen on the song when I heard the clip of it in the Panasonic commercial. But having heard it in full, I rather like it. Cheesy Arabian vibe, and iffy banshee warbles on the chorus and all.

I really am wondering at this point why the hell Ayumi Hamasaki named this album Rock 'n roll circus. I know it's just an album title. But with a name like that, you'd think the sound would be somewhat conceptual and tie-in with the name. Given half the album has been released in the form of PV's, at least people know what their in for, and that it's as far from a Rock n roll circus as you could get.
