Okay, "Shabondama" means "soap bubble" hence the straw thing Ai has in the PV that she's blowing a bubble on. The nature of bubbles is a bitter-sweet one. They bring happiness to children especially (which is why Ai is standing on top of a slide in a children's park), but the happiness is short-lived because bubbles do not exist for long. However, you can always make more and create more happiness. This is a parallel to life and especially to childhood. Childhood is a happy thing (usually) because you're innocent and you get to have fun, but it has to come to an end. However, just because you're not a child anymore doesn't mean you can't create new, happy memories as an adult. Ai is walking around the town (maybe her childhood town where she grew up) full of nostalgia. She's thinking about her childhood and reminiscing. She's comparing her childhood to the happy yet non-everlasting life of bubbles.
