Do you need thought bubbles coming out of Ayu's head to understand that the dance with Midoring is a dream sequence?

I guess not many people appreciate subtlety around here...You probably like your "hidden" messages to be as clear as in the "Endless sorrow" or "alterna" PVs.
i did get the 'homo' message straight and clear, just that the way it was portray lack of something, it's a bit random at parts.

As for Ayu's acting, it was very bad and overdone during the walking down the street part, too much diva-ish, i had enough of MW paraody.
Costumes: she look gorgeous in the white and that qi pao. BUT! something is wrong with the male dancers outfit(stage), it don't fit into 30's or 40's.

in al, it could be a better pv, if the director can do a better job of editing...

i suppose it could be use to emphiase during that time when homosxiluty was even more unaccepted, thus their sad faces at the backstage.
