Pocket
Ticket

^ I smell a conspiracy 
Just kidding 
Anyways, I'm watching the Rocket Sneaker PV (embarrassingly for the first time *ahem*) and it's kinda cool how they did it  But you all have probably discussed this already... 
...I liked her Renai Shashin hair better... (personally  )
EDIT: No wait, I think I like Frienger more.  But...the orange was a little...NO. I like the Frienger hair better. (Someone stop me! ) |

According to the RIAJ (Recording Industry Association of Japan)...Rocket Sneaker / One×Time got a "Gold" certification (or award...I have no clue why they call it certification) for shipping over 100,000 copies
(according to Wiki.theppn and RIAJ) |

and sorry for the double post....
but i found something quite interesting..
we all know that the PV was similar to YUKI's, but I found something even more similar....which happened to be a Coke commercial....in fact, the hairstyle is the same...and the kinda similar clone theme

thanks for uploading those wonderful scans of the booklet, mafee
@KerushiiAi:
her hair for this single is kinda cute, but i like her Frienger hair better too.
my favorite ai look is probably how she looked at her FNS Kayousai 2006 performance of Renai Shashin  |

Yes, and that Coke commercial is what pon pon found and posted about in that thread. Click his link.
Japanese artist, Nagi Noda is responsible for both the Yuki PV and the Coke ad in question. She also did the music video for Scissor Sisters' She's My Man (watch it here) that Negaiido brought up a while back (here).
You can view all three videos (and more) on her bilingual website.
Of course there are obvious similarities between her works and Ai's PV, but one should note that the technique used is different, each with its own challenges.
As shown at the end of the Yuki PV and the Coke ad, the effect is achieved with many similar actors and actresses painstakingly arranged and posed in sequences.
Ai's PV, as I suspected, is done through the use of Motion Control Photography.
Screenshot from PV credits:

Waahhh~ They produced shoes?!
It sucks that they didn't use canvas converse shoes though...
Those are the only shoes that actually don't hurt my ankle ; -; |
