And that's what the PV tries to show: Jack shall have Jill.
That is what I've heard.

um... I also think in that way ^^
Here is my understanding:
First, we have 2 Ayu: white and red.
The white Ayu:
Why her hair is white? It’s not blone, actually the background is yellow so we see her hair is blone, but it’s white. She has been waiting for her lover for a long time, maybe a whole of her life, that’s why her hair changes from black to white.
The red Ayu:
From my thinking, I’m not sure she is still alive or not. Sometimes I think she is already dead, what we see is just a footage show us about her dead. Anyway, it’s one of my opinions. Maybe she is still alive and she always stands under the maidenhair tree (no cherry tree here) with the horse until she is dead. Why I think in this way? You should see the background, it’s red. The red color is the color of hell, of blood, of dead.
- The butterfly for me is a symbol for a short life of people. And the mantus was the time, also destiny. When mantus kill the butterfly means you can’t resist the destiny. And the snake is a god of revenge. As I remember, snake in Japan is a symbol of Shinto (kami – God) means about the reincarnation – the wheel of distiny. When you dead, you will become another one – born again in another thing – the new life in second life.
- The horse symbolize for freedom. Why the horse is tied up with the tree? Maybe Ayu wants to say that she likes the horse, she choose the promise with her lover, stay and wait for him forever. She ties herself with the promise like the horse, in place of freedom.
The most beautiful scene in this PV for me is when Ayu falls down after she draw out 9 brooches hairpin. I think this action means she finally decide to accept the dead comes to her. After dead, Ayu’s body becomes one with the tree. She still here, her soul, continue waiting her lover. She is blossom to improve that.

Maybe
I like this way of thinking ^^
The butterfly also is Ayu. Eventhough how long she is waiting, when the time pass by, she becomes old and have to die. Her life is short like a butterfly, can’t resist the power of time.
Nothing is exist forever although tree, soul and love.
