Here comes the fifth one of this series.
《Step You》, 2005.
Youtube version(Official, 2 minutes):
“Is this love?” is the other c/o song for
this 35th single by Ms Ayumi Hamasaki, both songs talk about being a
secret admirer to a man. For the catchy main song “Step You”, the lyrics character shows
up very girly and appealing, and keeps excited for the crush;
whereas in the “ITL”
PV, the whole atmosphere is rather depressed and pessimistic, Ayu was
broken inside out and whispered in the chorus: ”Why the one you have chosen
wasn’t me”, how devastating.
Let’s rewind back to “Step You”.
I recalled that it was a very weird song
name to me,
Maybe I was in my Form 5 English level at
that time
(HKCEE huh? sad), I was thinking
“What??! Step on somebody
you ain’t no ant???!!!”
Later it turns out the meaning when Ayu revealed more about
it means is “following YOU”.
For the whole “Step You” promotional video,
It has a very very simple story line
[compared
to other Ayu’s videos],
which is all about how “transformative” a
female can be.
At the power generation area or factory something,
a man (an unimportant character anyway) comes near to a beacon, and a mini Ayu
is there.
One line in the chorus is
”1,2,3,4…欲張りになってくあたしがいて”
(1-4, Being more greedy I am now)
[1st]
In the film it just look like the man is
being greedy for more styles,
And Ayu is fulfilling his wish by giving
him four kinds of look.
(She changed her looks each time the romanji roulette
turns).
Apart from the first one elegant look,
The second is dark mysterious.
[2nd]
Another third look is soft and girly,
[3rd]
and
the forth style is the wild sexy type.
[Last]
Near the climax is that the unsatisfied man
rotates it too much and sounds like a explosion comes off.
(I LOLed at first time
watching here,
clearly a freakout!!)…
clearly a freakout!!)…
An all-in-one Ayu pops up and sings in
the rain, and finally four Ayus disappeared. This is like the fairy tale of the “What’s in
the lake? The gold one or the cheap one?”, a greedy doesn’t get a penny. Well....rip.
Full 《Step You》PV on:
P.S. Ayu publicly sang this song in her 2006 and
2010 tour, the (Miss)understood tour had made her in chains and it was a magic
trick on the stage.
And in the Rock’n’Roll circus(this video) she looked really nice in the
cocktail glass too. I also put it here to enjoy. Like the whipping host and 2:30 the "whocares", girls are really complicated inside out!^^
