The symbolism and concept of the crossroad PV are enough to just not make me think about whatever it might have copied. I'm sure eminen's video doesn't have the emaning of burning ayu wanted to portray, since burning different matches mean choosing roads in life that leaves a track of ash as memories in the past, and while she stands there thinking, she's chosen a road and burns until what's left is ashes. This was my interpretation on the PV and it suits pretty well with the song lyrics imo:

Once match has be lighten, it can light other matches (opens roads to new decisions) and once the new roads are chosen, those trails will also get burned and turned to ashes. So what if red dressed pyromaniac ayu was not set into fire? What if she had lighten other matches instead of the ones she did? would her life have been different? If she thinks about the past, she can remember the warmth of the fire they once were, but still, they've just become ashes now. Did the decisions she make turned her into a rose or a burnt rose? While she just stands there thinking, she's made her own decision of yet starting a new road on fire, and in the end the path was traced and all the contemplation becomes ashes. This proves this last paragrpah:

Also from the lyrics:

What was it that just became ashes and what is this part of the match that is burning right now? I kinda interpret it like that lol.
The PV was not full of excitement but that's what the lyrics are about, getting melancholic and contemplating about decisions (crossroad) and the past; it wasn't that bad. I'm digging the song more now.
