Ayu's not even IN "Endless sorrow", for example (on the home video version she shows up at the end, but the original TV version of that video, which we saw for MONTHS before A Clips volume 2 came out, doesn't have ayu in it at all). You can't say that's a video that doesn't depend on its story & message. Mirrorcle World, however, depends solely on ayu's pretty dresses & cool boots.

Delirium-Zer0,
apart from the pretty disrespectful and ill written ways of putting it your post do have some points, however putting MW in there is very big mistake as it touches the theme that apparently holds a special place in your heart, judging from the post of yours, is it the "glamour" that gets in the way of its story? MW was a horrible example of something with no meaning / only visuals, if that is what you miss, or the more easy going feel good PV of f.ex. BLUE BIRD that also seems to be not to your liking.

Did you ever read the interpretations of MW? If you did it's pretty obious that it hints at much more than just showing off pretty dresses. Along with the lyrics (and even if you don't understand them, the guradsmen should be a hint) it's quite apparent that it treats the subject of the existance of human being, what is real and not. I can't believe you can write these things of this particular PV when you apparently haven't even bothered looking into it. It's allright that you don't like it, but please try to find the interpretations and read the lyrics you will see there's a lot more to the PV than Louboutins and a big red dress. Maybe the references that went into them before were easier for you to spot than the ones that are in the current because they are certainly there.

Anyways, what happened to the OT of this thread?
