The man spreads the four season dust one by one, then Namie spread a big dust consisting of all four colors. In the end, the man took the crown and put it back to the glass bowl then throw it back on the water while his body covers Namie's position that I suspect Namie is not there anymore. Any thoughts? lol
The first thing that comes to my mind is Namie Amuro representing "mother nature" (or Gaia) in this video. The final act where she spreads all four colors represents the diversity of one year (you can experience all seasons during the year). Then the golden crown is return to water and cycle repeats. Sailor comes again, picks the golden crown etc.
Water represents some mythical place (perhaps universe) where the golden crown=mother nature=Namie Amuro is "stored" meanwhile.

These are just my thoughts, the video is clearly very abstract so I do not think there is one possible explanation You can interpret it many different ways
