As for me it's a PV about love, but not about romantic, idealistic love, but about 20th century love - not fulfilled.

There are 5 prostitutes (or 6 if I'm not mistaken). They are shown randomly. At first I didn't even notice one was one of them shown and when the other ones were.

Ayu is NOT a prostitute. She's like a person who tells the story.

There are men who pay the prostitutes for sexual performances etc. But none of them know that the prostitutes have feelings for them.

There is a moment when one of the guys sees Ayu in the TV (an interesting thing - the main screen shows only the body, only the smaller screent on top of the main one shows the face) - he discovers the feelings a prostitute had for him.

He brings her flowers... why is he rejected? Please notice that he brought flowers to ALL 6 girls. They rejected him. As long as he was doing it for mere male pleassure it didn't hurt the girls. But when he tried to play with their feelings - it was too much.

Also an interesting thing - the anime that is shown in the TV in the prostitutes' room. The anime shows a perfect love. The girl in the anime falls in love, is unhappy because of love but all this ends happy... a perfect happy end. But the reality isn't like that. The reality is crual and it doesn't have a happy ending. "Life" is not a "fairy tale".

And the white fluid... I think it was supposed to look like semen, at first glance (to match the whole theme of the PV). But I suppose it does have a special meaning, I mean - come on - Ayu wouldn't put SEMEN in her PV without it having a meaning. I think I will stick with the version that says that the "whiteness" is just a symbol of purity... and they all are purified at the end of the PV...

A long post - if someone managed to read it - please share comments!
*bows* *_____* thanks so much for the explanation! I thought that that guy saw the prostitutes and fell in love. But the prostitutes didn't want the "innocent" guy to be tainted by the likes of them..so they pushed him out. XD But your explanation sounds alot more valid. thanks!
