- - [DAYS]PV Discussion (http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83248)

I finally got the PV last night when I laid down to bed. Lol. It seems earlier it wasn't being explained in the right way but now I got it!

The part with Ayu going out to see Shuya and him handing her his helmet is a dream. I'm not sure if the parts where Ayu goes to see him dancing and her trying on the ring is a dream - those parts seem to be memories that Ayu had with him which led her to like him. So after she finally wakes up, she runs out to him but in actuality he hands the helmet to another girl, the girl wearing the ring, and Ayu feels foolish for thinking that the day he had her try the ring on that it was supposed to be for her. Shuya isn't the bad guy in the video after all - Ayu just as looking at the situation wrongly.

EDIT: I guess lfebaggins said it all. Lol. Dang it.

This PV made me cry, the melody made me cry. Ayu...you made me cry dammit! Haha I love you! I adore this PV it's beautiful & Ayu looks so beyond gorgeous I'm like dumbfounded.

Am I the only one who truly preferred the GREEN PV (and song to be honest) in comparison to this.
It just seemed to turn into something that would be feature on something like Eastenders (British soap opera/TV drama)

I was enjoying the more experimental, controversial, interesting turn Ayumi was taking, but I was left seriously disappointed with this.

^ I'm sure you're not the only one to prefer GREEN as a song (it seems most do). I just love this song so much because Ayu has been doing so much "non-generic" type of music for her lately that it has become generic to her. Some have said Days is too mainstream and un-original but I love it because it is just that. GREEN seriously was predictable coming from her. This PV is much cuter and Ayu looks amazing. Lol.

Perhaps I don't like beause of the 'cuteness'.... which is in no way cute in my personal opinion.
Well my take on cute looks a lot like this:

Plus my personal preference is a lot more experimental music. I don't like the idea of Ayumi taking a more generic J-pop route with her music. Part of the reason I fell in love with her music was because it wasn't like your typical J-pop music.
I'm not much for the mainstream side of things.... if you couldn't tell :D
*looks at own signature* "Awwwwwwwwwwwww"

This PV is AMAZEENNNNGGGG!!!

I love the way Ayu play her role. No overacting, no overreacting. She's so natural. ~~

And her hat is cute!!

The story is great IMO. Surely Ishii is a great director in doing ballads. 10 of 10!!
(I almost cry at the end. Sometimes friendships is far better than your GF/BF)

I really like it. I think it's very sweet and sad. I actually feel really bad for Ayu in it. :( She looks so sweet and adorable too!

LOL very nice

EXCEPT that cant be possible
that hand in the pv...

peca DOES not have hands that skinny, and i can say that with certainty

Exactly! Peco's all fingers are THUMBS. :innocent:innocent

Ayu makes some super cute faces. I love her look when Shuya puts back the ring.

The song sounds different from her usual stuff. I like it. Her vocals are very nice, too.

I can't stop watching the video haha I'm obsessed. The song is 10x better with the video accompanying it! :]

Totally love this woman.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! Too funny <3 That's totally how she truely felt, I know it!!!

I adore this videoclip! At first I thought (from the preview of it) that it was going to be just a ballad with the Christmas feeling in it. But when i watched it I realised it was not. In fact it's very sad, it generalizes the feeling of being replaced by someone else. I cried LOL :tired I can't wait for the single 0.0

^ LOLZ at the edited screen-cap!

The PV was so amazing and even the song is so beautiful.
The last scene makes me cry. :*)
That scene reminds me of what friendship really is.

don't really like ayu's expression in the pv.

i get it she's playing a girl who has a crush, but homegirl totally went over with the acting.

i think she looks more natural in "Green" than in "Days"

My extended interpretation

Scene 1: The PV opens with the clock showing 8:00. It fades out to show her sleeping still but the clock says 6:00. She wakes up and runs downstairs to greet Shuya. She bumps into a lot of her friends along the way. The guys are originally with Shuya on the bike but when they see Ayu, they walk away to give the two of them some 'alone time'. Shuya yanks her hat but hands her his helmet. Everything is going perfectly. It is a two-hour dream.

Scene 2: Flashback, shes dreaming about a time when they run into a street merchant. Shuya points at a ring as she turns around. His body language suggests him saying "that ring looks pretty nice." She puts it on to show him how it looks, hinting that perhaps she would want him to buy it for her, but nothing is intended. There is some inaudible dialogue between Shuya and the merchant. Hes pointing at Ayu while talking, suggesting "For her? Oh no, shes not my girlfriend".

Scene 3: Another flashback in her dream. Shes rushing into the room looking very worried. It was probably a dance practice and she was running really late. It shows the POV through her eye and it zooms out to show her hold herself with a slight OMG look on her face. It was like time suddenly stood still for Ayu. It is the first time she sees Shuya, and it is love at first sight.

Scene 4: The PV fades back to her sleeping in the same room as Scene 1. The clock says 8:00 PM, two hours since Scene 1 at 6:00. It was all a dream, she was really sleeping for the past two hours. She wakes up and the scene plays out the same as Scene 1 except noticeable differences. Her friends are not there. She greets him, but he gives her a half-smile as he hands the helmet to someone else.

In Scene 4 hes alone on his bike while in Scene 1 they are all hanging together. He was a fairly new addition to their group, part of my theory of "The Perfect Dream Vs. The Sad Reality". In reality, he probably didn't know the rest of the group too well. He probably did not know Ayu too well either suggested by his lack of interaction from Scene 2 & 3 as well as the half-smile that you give to someone you don't really know well as a form of saying "Hey!". The other girl that gets the helmet has the ring she saw earlier. With all these differences from her dream in Scene 1, it hits her that reality is not as perfect as her dream.

yeap..exactly like i have thought..
all made sense..

Well the second image may be more seductive

But the first image is so incredibly cute.

I'm not seeing why it should it should be taboo though

^ Lol. It reminds me of Kumi's TABOO PV that's why. Well I guess everyone has their own drawings on different types of things but to me cute is HUGE EYES and a small body. Lol. Just like AYU.
