Hmm, well I was thinking that the fact that everything she walks by in the video is destroyed is telling us that she feels as if she only brings trouble to everything and everyone around her. Then, when the boy was about to get hit by the car, and it was destroyed and he walked away unharmed, I think that was to convey that even though she thinks she causes a lot of trouble, there is still good that she does for people. But I like *+Dark.Night.Angel.+*'s interpretation better. It makes more sense when you think about the boy and his dog. He lost something he loved, so he went to chase after it, and almost got hurt. But through his perseverance, he was able to overcome the obstacle and continue to pursue the dog.

Now about "alterna"... I believe the "SINGING MACHINE- ALMOST HUMAN!" is supposed to show how Ayu was forced to sing song after song in one of her concerts and was sent to a hospital afterwards (or at least this is what I read on ayunite).

Personally, I think that the eye in her mouth is supposed to symbolize how she sings what she sees. As most of you know, Ayu writes her own lyrics and they're usually about things she personally observes.

Also, it seems to me that the whole story has a greater power in it. I wrote on Ayunite that the strings on everyone represents the media, and how the press manipulates everything. This wasn't clear to me until the end of the video with the boy pulling up the girl's skirt. They were watch TVs in the window of an electronics store, and it showed how children are manipulated by what they see on the television.
