I think everyone's been asking ayu what her works mean, and she's getting tired of it.

This is generally unknown since few actually know what ayu's lyrics say, but she's actually come up with a good answer to these questions in Humming 7/4. She talks about how everyone wants to see things from her POV and how she doesn't like it. Here's my translation, I've bolded the relevant parts:

Humming 7/4

Spoiler:

"What will the scenery look like, if I stand on the other side?"
The nameless masses find this query very interesting
I reply
"It will look just like what you expect it to look like"

Because it is useless to explain otherwise

everybody GO! everybody JUMP!
I'm humming a song
everybody GO! everybody JUMP!
While walking ahead
everybody GO! everybody JUMP!
It doesn't matter if I cry or smile
everybody GO! everybody JUMP!
If it's all the same, I'd rather smile

Actually, I prepared an answer which everyone wants to know
However

Does it even matter if I said it?

(everybody GO! everybody JUMP!)

everybody GO! everybody JUMP!
We can fly higher
everybody GO! everybody JUMP!
Because we have wings
everybody GO! everybody JUMP!
There is no need to be afraid
everybody GO! everybody JUMP!
Because I'm with you

Everything that I see
Belongs to that normal scenery that everyone else sees
Even if noone understands this fact
Please at least grant my wish
And not deny me this

everybody GO! everybody JUMP!
everybody GO! everybody JUMP!

Of course, another explanation would be that it's just a mix of images and portrayals, just like how GAME was. It doesn't necessarily have a storyline, it's just a collage of images and portrayals.

All in all, I think Ayu's just trying to show there's more than meets the eye. In the walking proud PV, everything seems natural, but underneath, it's nothing more than mere mechanics.

Of course, the other explanation is that she shot About You, walking proud and Humming 7/4 over a course of 4 days. Hence, it's a rushed PV.

She just love Bedtime Story by Madonna.

Shooting the footage for 3 PVs over 4 days does not render them rushed. Shooting footage for a PV usually takes 1-2 days by what I've heard, and if they worked many hours on those days, the only thing they did was push the dates together instead of shooting them at different occasions.

Remember that they were shot during 4 days, the rest of the process with creating them, cutting and editing, took a lot more time.
