Please for a moment forget about the horrible music video and think about the message that the dancing scene represents when Ayu is dancing she is reborn because she is not repressing herself. Frankly, this song is not meant only for homosexuals this song is meant to show that she has been reborn, think about what she herself has went through and then apply the lyrics to her life. People in a few earlier posts have mentioned that her lyrics have matured, yes they have because she has as a person. Think about it like this strip away Ayu's money and fame and she just wants to show people that she is a person not a glamorous superstar, who people think is fake because she wears Dior gowns and likes 600 dollar pumps. Even the single cover is interesting because Ayu's eyes make her look dead however she is surronded by light pink roses, which in asian cultures and in Greek mythology, represent death yet in modern Western cultures they are used to represent love, admiration, or respect. Maybe she is attempting to say that her older self, or her self or the feelings she felt have died. The song reminds me of the GUILTY cover, it looks nice yet no one comments on the fact that it appears that Ayu is walking out of a cave in the desert and she is blinded by the sunlight, the truth, what I find interesting is that someone who is not willing to express their guilt would have kept her in the cave or would have kept her safe in the cloak of nightfall. Honestly, I would not personally listen to her music anymore if all of her music videos were obviously about hope, thats why I like her recent music because it makes me think because her points are not obvious.Yet what shocked me the most was that no one even mentioned, especially with this being Ayu's tenth anniversity, that her dancing is somewhat similiar to rainbow and the cover to A BALLADS because they all depict Ayu being healed in some way, or you could say that they all represent her love for another woman. because this person helped become the person she is now. I say that the dance scene, the cover to A BALLADS, and rainbow are all similiar because they could all be easily misinterpeted if you have no prior knowledge of Ayu.

love this post!

i also find it very interesting that she chose to dance with Midori in this video seeing as "midori" means "green" in japanese.

well, the more i watch it...the more i love it and am able to put more thought behind it.
