I'm so glad the news clip did NOT reveal the...real climatic moment, which was when Shuya sees himself. GOsh, what a wonderful PV. Plot, Symbolism, Emotion.
I'm so glad Ayu had a hand in the direction in this.

I think Shuya is in coma. The words he send out definitely cannot reach Ayu. I'm thinking those letter he even receive are what he wrote himself? Those letters by the bedside, could Ayu really see them? They just landed at the window in a mess. I feel like, Ayu can't really see them.
I love the clock scene. At first when they showed ONE clock, I was thinking,"Wow what a bizarre clock" and then there were more. Could it mean uncertainty? There's no fixed time in Shuya's world (he can leave anytime but he's holding on so that he can speak with Ayu).

About Shuya being the centre of the PV, he definitely is. Without him (and I think he acted REALLY WELL..Ayu said he portrayed emotions very well so she keeps using him...kudos to him), it really needed THAT acting though i feel. I don't get how it links to the Ayu in outer space though..She seems to be waiting for his letters...through the water? (I had this weird imagination that she sends letters down to him via the pond)

I shall talk about Ayu now. SHE IS SO PRETTY! The green eyeshadows remind me of the Scawaii photoshoot she did..last year? this year? And I love the whole scenery she was in. Biker Ayu looked amazing! esp the scene with her face alone.

This is a really great PV.
and I actually sense Ishii's flavour in it.
