Just One
More Kiss
release date: 16/10/1988
director: unknown
-- Most easily available one from oldest bunch of BT PVs. Available
in many PV collection videos. Everybody in their big hairdo n suits
with sky high shoulder pads. The funniest thing is the white stage they're
performing on…so very 80s!! Oh, notice the shiny lip gloss on the vocalist
boy?

Aku No Hana
release date: 24/1/1990
director: Hayashi Wataru
-- Playing studio live in a dark dungeon-like room, decorated with smoking
pipes which looked like snakes. BT dressed all in black (look at the
nightmarish one-length hair cut of Hide!!!) playing live. Not a very
memorable MV...the standard stuff u would have expected for a standard
visual band.

Speed
release date: 21/1/1991
director: Hayashi Wataru
-- Also
BT playing live in a dark place. Featuring a gradually melting ice-carved
sculpture of a human head spilt with colour paints. Yet to find out
what it means...

M.A.D
release date: 5/6/1991
director: unknown
-- Intercutting images of Atsushi squirming on bed, studying a woman's
body, crawling into a corner screaming etc. absolutely fitting the title
of the song

Jupiter
release date: 30/10/1991
directort: unknown
-- Based on an ancient story, said Hide. Medieval setting. Sepia film.
A woman walking across a desert, a man bearing a wooden cross falling
over a dune, the woman kissing an erected cross. Intercut with BT playing
acoustic live on a swirling stage. A very well made MV. Pay close attention
to this live clip, it looks like Atsushi is crying when he sings...

Dress
release date: 21/5/1993
director: Hayashi Wataru
-- Come back PV after one year n a half's transformation. Scary in terms
of their look, eg the styling of Hide, fish-like haircut of Imai… Translucent
scarf draped set. Ice laid background. The scariest part is that the
Caucasian model girl did look like Atsushi in heavy make up! By the
way, he commented that it's the most beautifully made PV of BT in an
interview in 1995.

Die
release date: 21/10/1993
director: Hayashi Wataru
-- Artificial flower bad everywhere. BT turned into zombies in silver
face paint. Also scary, I think. But well, that's the style of 1993.
Somehow I did feel a kind of strange beauty beaming from Atsushi…it's
like the kind of devil smile of his from DTD tour pamphlet….Love love
the last scene of them all lying in flower-donned coffins!

Uta
release date: 24/3/1995
director: Hayashi Wataru
-- Fierce BT playing live in studio, though it's not the real BT. It's
a BT formed by Ringo Starr, Kurt Cobain, Lenny Kravitz, and "madam mysterious".
Errr, sorry, I can't figure out who is U-ta…. very clever n stunning
concept. Very entertaining to watch even if u don't care what they're
actually doing. Trademark BT PVs.

Kodou
release date: 21/4/995
director: Hayashi Wataru
-- Superb idea. The band simply stand in the background, rarely move,
n sometimes whispering muted words into the ear of Atsushi lying on
the ground. Atsushi, lying there still, sometimes blank faced (we say
it's like a dead goldfish), sometimes cried. As simple as that but it's
enough to make me cry every time I watch it. What a magic gift Hayashi
san had given us. By the way, who can make out what Imai is shouting
to Atsushi? What is the phase that u would think of? Haha, try to get
it from reading his lips…

Mienai...
release date: 21/9/1995
director: Hayashi Wataru
-- Imagine u film BT guys playing live on black n white, u play the
clip with biggest contrast so everybody's face is all distorted to merely
patches of black n white. That is this PV. What u see is what is it,
believe it or not? I like it, honestly, though people say it's a too
weird.

Candy
release date: 22/5/1996
director: Full from Guniw Tools
-- I couldn't see what's the point of this PV. They flew a long way
to some place in Hokkaido to film it…everyone is freezing, but the result
is miserable! The only point worth watching it Hide. It suits more to
be a GT PV more than a BT PV...

Herione
release date: 12/11/1997
director: Imai Kousei
-- Live clips inside a half-torn enclosed room. Water splashing everywhere.
Oh, the lip gloss is back!!! Not very special.

Sasayaki
release date: 11/3/1998
director: Imai Kousei
-- Story of the werewolf basically, but the hero changed to a heroine
of an innocent girl. With the power of fullmoon, n the touch of Atsushi,
she turned into a erotic dancer…errr. U see more of her breasts than
the faces of BT. Anyway, a super cool PV with very good filming technique.
Best scene of all: Hide sitting dead on the ground with the girl looking
down on him...n funniest of all: Imai's disgusted face whenever the
girl touched him...haha! the devilish smile of Atsushi just cannot be
missed!!!!

Gessekai
release date: 13/5/1998
director: unknown
-- Strange PV in black n white. Our dear Atsushi is tied to the ceiling
with his head hanging down. So, u have the idea? His face became kinda
strange under the pull of gravity. Actually he looked like a duck...~___~;;
other members are playing live as usual in the studio. I keep on thinking
that they could make a better PV out of this song.

Bran-new
Lover
release date: 14/7/1999
director: Yamaguchi Hiroki
-- Bran-new
BT turned into Psycho Le Cemu. I'm not kidding! The guys do look like
these boys with their weird outfit put on! U've never seen BT in these
pastel colours before. Not dark of all (though some shots are kinda
scary...), up-beat n light. Perfect for the song. Those long legs of
Hide, Imai's lion king hairdo, Atsushi's laughs are priceless!

Miu
release date: 20/10/1999
director: Yamaguchi Hiroki
-- I don't know how to describe this PV…it's like a fairy tale. First
u see Atsushi draped in white, standing against the wind. Then u see
Hide as a wanderer playing guitar next to a bonfire. After that, it's
the rest three like travellers. Imai picked up a suitcase containing
a snake, but it turned out that the fairy dwelling inside are just organs
(I mean real organs like lungs, intestines etc). Awesome n hallucinating.
U'll have to watch it yourself to catch the dreamscape inside. Side
note: this PV was awarded as the best of the year by a tv station in
Japan.

Glamourous
release date: 6/9/2000
director: Yamaguchi Hiroki
-- Not as special as other PVs by Yamaguchi Hiroki. The band playing
live in a glass studio. Sometimes with calculated pretty shots of individual
members.

21st Cherry Boy
release date: 21/11/2001
director: Yamaguchi Hiroki
-- Haha! See Atsushi doing Madonna American Pie dance! They're playing
live in a red studio. Sometimes doing the strange dance they used to have
when they're 15 years younger…kind of an eye candy if u like Atsushi n
Imai. If they take out the two dancer girls it would be better…

kyokuto yori ai o
komete
release date: 19/2/2002
director: Hayashi Wataru
-- Worst one since Candy! Fire burning down the house (suppose it's a
house) at their back. They were playing live in the water's edge…yeah,
that's all u could see I'm afraid…
