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.  |
I love your interpretation!
About the "outer space" part though... I have something to add:
I think it definitely relates. I think that part is Shuya's image of the real world. That's why he's down in the pond. That Ayu in 'outer space' is Ayu outside of Shuya's mind sitting by the bedside, I think. At the end when they show her by the bed side, it's the reality of his image.
And It was like the letters he received from her were her actual words to him from his bedside. After she sent "Please stay with me." it was like she was willing him to stay alive. She even held out that blooming flower in his dream world at that point that seemed to symbolize the gift of life to me.
I think that's why Ayu is so gorgeous in that part too-- because to him her beauty would be exaggerated.
Make sense?

I mean, I'd rather someone else, but wow. And Ayu, when you're not over dramatic it's awesome.
