[News] Snowy kiss and Wake me up PV (full version)

[tasking]

I've had to deal with a little bit of domestic violence between my parents growing up. I'd like it a little more if Ayu was trying to bring more awareness to the issue, but it seems she just did it for shock value and for that I have to say for the first time I'm really uncomfortable and disappointed with Ayu's work. At the very least there should've been a warning label for victims. Even though the acting was bad, that stuff is never cool.

I can't understand people calling these "boring," because I find them deeply unsettling.

I think the relationship between the 3 videos is quite clear.

In You&Me, she is clearly recollecting the happier times she had with Maro in the summer.

In Wake me up, we see the prelude to what happens in You&Me - she is with that anon hot guy, who then dumps her, and she gets together with Maro.

In snowy kiss, we see the aftermath of the relationship with Maro, which sours, and then it pans back to Ayu on the beach again (cf You&Me), i.e. she's recollecting the same relationship, but different parts of it.

I guess the biggest take away is a theme she has been interested in since appears - the idea that at any one point of time, people only see one facet of the relationship between 2 people, and that there are many untold stories that we are not aware of, that only the 2 people in question are privy to. She explicitly sings about this in Return Road ("futari no koto wa futari ni shika wakaranai" - what happened between the 2 of us, only we will know)

In a sort of indirect way (if you wanna read closer into this), she is essentially telling everybody to stop speculating about her relationships cos nobody really knows what's going on apart from herself (and the men in her life, of course).

Doesn't look to me like she was dumped in Wake Me Up; looks to me like she starts to cheat on her boyfriend with his friend. They then actaully become a couple in You and Me, but it is short lived and turns violent by Snowy Kiss. Maybe the message is that a relationship that starts out in lies is bound for failure?
