i LOVE it !
one of her best pvs this year.
when she released "bold & delicious" i was very disappointed, but now with all these great previews and pvs coming out i'm feeling like this album will be perfect !

Fantastic PV and I love the song.

She looks great with her blond hair! Great PV!:D

BTW, what does 'PV' stand for?

It stands for Promotional Video :)

How the PV ended was definetely the best part.

I think it's sorta interesting that she's using the 20s- 30s- 40s ish time frame again. Look at the Alterna and my name's WOMEN PVs. Does anyone else but me think that maybe there's something to that?

I just dom't get what is it about! Maybe I need lyrics? : bus stop, Ayu there, Ayu at some kind of flat, Ayu is sad, and that dog...what a mess! What is she trying to say?

it was alright....her blond hair was a bit weird..didn't really match her..

i want to see the pv
but i will wait until the dvd is in my hand
looks like a great pv...
i think the best PV in this year is STEP you and then Alterna

No ones talking about meaning? I think she's saying good bye to the other her. She always has something along the lines of "going on a trip" in her songs. The dog is even a in wondering about. I agree it was kind of boring and maybe something more could have been done? Visually I love the lighting and the beat also reminds me of Hanabi ~II~ to an extent.

Does anyone thingk the umbrellas represent protection? I dont know, it seems like Hamasaki doesnt have an umbrella and she's the only one you actually see.

Yeh i agree. the first sentence of the whole lyric i was able to make out was "hitori kiri, kasa mo naku"..i only know elementary japanese but if not wrong the meaning is" (on a rainy day)alone and w/o umbrella "...so i think u are right to say that...alone and w/o umbrella on a rainy day = helplessness...it amazing how ayu make use of the relation of umbrella and rainy day to potray helplessness(imo)...Ayu is more than an idol...she def has substance...i love her

This is how I interpeted it:

She's been waiting for someone, for quite some time. And she used to be going through a lot of pain over it. But now she can move on (hence the bus) ... And she's content.

Quite nice :) The Ayu with dark hair looks very elegant.

I really like the PV. I wasn't too fond of the Ayu with the short blonde hair.
