The best part about lady dynamite is the instrumental hook. I don't find the PV very interesting and the song pretty sun of the mill ayu album track, though not her best. It's just ok, and that sadly doesen't cut it when the other songs on the same album appeal to me so much more. =)

I don't get the reference to "Her gay themed PVs" though, I thought there was just one, Lady dynamite which has lots of references to contemporary western culture that is labeled as gay.

GREEN can be interpreted in a number of ways and not necessarily mainly as being a gay themed pv IMO, especially considering the view on genders in japanese culture. Consider the theatrical tradition where men used to take on female roles, but also contemporary stuff like the all female theater (whose name I cannot remember), yaoi aimed at women, themed host bars where women dressed as men serve female clients in the rolse of men to take the sexual tention away etc. None of the above can acurately be described as a part of "gay" culture from a modern western pespective, as they are completely outside of that realm.
