there may be some deep hidden messages but it's either "we are all gay and we are a bit unhappy about it as no one understands", or "we all wannabe gay but somehow this does not work out and we a bit unhappy". Well, being a bit rude here - who cares...? Unless this is done with the pretext to stir the public to actually see the PV (and maybe buy the CD/DVD as well). I can just hear the whispers and other s#@t - "have you seen the latest one...". any publicity is good publicity, isn't it...?
I guess another one like that and I'll have to stop updating my eneabba.net, whch I've done for many years now...

I didn't know you did eneabba.net. That's a great Ayu resource site, so hopefully you will find the energy to keep up with it.

I personally have no problem with the implied homosexuality of the video - not one bit; I just think it could've been done a whole heck of a lot better.

Do you need thought bubbles coming out of Ayu's head to understand that the dance with Midoring is a dream sequence?

I guess not many people appreciate subtlety around here...You probably like your "hidden" messages to be as clear as in the "Endless sorrow" or "alterna" PVs.

i did get the 'homo' message straight and clear, just that the way it was portray lack of something, it's a bit random at parts.

As for Ayu's acting, it was very bad and overdone during the walking down the street part, too much diva-ish, i had enough of MW paraody.
Costumes: she look gorgeous in the white and that qi pao. BUT! something is wrong with the male dancers outfit(stage), it don't fit into 30's or 40's.

in al, it could be a better pv, if the director can do a better job of editing...

i suppose it could be use to emphiase during that time when homosxiluty was even more unaccepted, thus their sad faces at the backstage.

Good point.
