This PV obviously contrast the ideas of the japanese bizarre and kawaii (what isn't unusual for the japanese production at all) and I believe it makes far more sense to someone naturally aware of japanese symbology or aesthetics (and most of us fail on this as most of us weren't raised on that culture ), but I also think this video was planned to cause on people determinated feelings and reactions instead of an actual message...^^
I don't think it's satanic as the video with the reversed music implied, as I believe if we had a major evil trying to conquer earth, it wouldn't be sending us messages to show its purpose Also, on the eastern culture, the idea of "end of the world" is about ending a moment to start another (like the lyrics of Talkin' 2 myself), they mostly don't believe on a world end on the way we do over here, like, it ends and its over. |
Firstly many thanks for your interesting reply!
Thank you again for clearing that up (kinda). I already thought it was super strange that there were so many stuff thrown in the PV. At first when I saw the PV for the very first time I was like "are they trying to be random?" (I saw way creepy stuff). But I've watched this PV like 40 times or something, (5-10 on a daily basis because I want to figure it out). To be honest, I think it's then a mix of telling a story and what you said; 'that it's constructed on the overall lonely feeling'.
(What is Illuminati by the way? I looked in Wikipedia but I cannot get a simple answer :/) The reversed satan thing firstly came over as stupid to me, and I thought that a inteligent Japanese speaker made those words from carefully misjudging the voice heard (when playing backwards). But later on it made sense, because in the PV I think they hint that the (red head) character died? (they've hid that in the YouTube version).
If I may ask you one last thing
, how do you interpret this PV; please mention the three main characters (main kawaii girl, red head girl with long lashes and fruit on her head and the big pink masked dancer). I'd be very gratefull to hear this from someone with a degree in background (visuals) design!!!
Thanks again!
