Imagine how many people have probably told the protagonist, including her own friends, "you don't have a chance with this dude, blah, blah. You're fine the way you are!" and at the end she ends up getting the guy. It's a trite message, but I think it's a little inspiring. Being "fine the way we are" doesn't always get us what we want. We have to stop breeding this mentality of mediocrity and entitlement in Western society, and instead need to find a balance between being a little hard on ourselves and loving things about ourselves that we cannot change.

Kind of what I'm thinking too. Reading the lyrics made much more sense.
I think this just really depends on each person's perspective. To me it just always seems like Ayu's message is much more greater than all the bull about being fat or skinny. That's why I don't care much about the PV, her lyrics are the most important, and we should consider the lyrics more to the song.
