Um, I don't really have a formal interpretation. But I believe she was dead to be honest. Maybe dead inside, maybe a dead spirit. She gets up and performs her daily tasks and she goes out and she's surrounded by destruction and chaos yet she keeps on walking and it is all goes pretty unnoticed from her point of view. I agree with the one person who mentioned the repetitive camera movements and actions. It emphasizes on the mundane reality of her world, that she's simply a robot (she kind of looks like one) doing the only thing she knows how to do.

I think the dogs represent her responsibilities (dancing and singing maybe? being an artist in general) she walks these dogs through the entire PV because she is constantly burdened by these responsibilities throughout her journey. I think the fact that they are HUGE represents that they are huge responsibilities.

She goes into the tunnel and some people come up behind her, maybe to warn her, or hurt her. I'm not sure but I'm going with to hurt her. The army (ayu's defenses?), which I like to think of as a the people who try to keep the other people (maybe the record company or people who benefit from Ayu's repetitive life) from stopping her from waking up and realizing the kind of world she lives in. She gets to the "light at the end of the tunnel" and she releases her "responsibilities" but from there we're left hanging. We don't really know if she wakes up or if she just repeats her day as usual. I'm assuming she begins to really "live" for the first time since she's not tied to those damn overgrown dogs LOL.

Again there may be some flaws in my interpretation ^^; I hope it makes sense.

Btw, best PV ever~ Based off what I took from it, very powerful! It's not as clear-cut as alterna perhaps, but I put it right up there with amazing symbolism connected to a powerful message.

very interesting, i like your interpretation.
i liked the camera movements a lot in the beginning, but when they did it again during the end it felt less polished and it got too much tbh.

they could have done so much with this pv, but as usual, they didn't

isn't the guy dancing the same one from microphone on the stairs?

after seeing all the new pvs i must say i am more pleased with them. at least they're more exciting than moon, sweet season ect, where she just looks pretty
