This video has a lot to analyze in it but that will have to wait cause I'm late for class!

And I'm late for bed. *gg*
Just kidding. In Austria it's 8 pm while I'm typing this. *gg*
It's indeed her best PV since....since....since a long time.
Let's start with the colour choice and the costumes:
Red suits her really good. Remember that red-ish kimono in tsuki-ni-shizumu and the voyage pv and also the ayu-mix CM? The day I heard WILL for the first time, a red-ish PV had come to my mind. I was so disappointed that she hasn't mad a PV for that great song.
Red is her colour, period.
------------------------
AYU could be in her old days a good enka singer. She has the voice and also the look in a kimono for that. The costumes are really well made. Maybe a little to colourish but thats not worth to mention. Since I'm not so good in japanese history I can't say from which period the costumes are but the look very authentic.

The story for this PV was about the limit. She touched my heart once more.
The whole dying and reincarnating story was beyond anything I had in my mind. Don't get me wrong but the scene when she dies was well done.... and heartbreaking of course.
Maybe she's telling us that A-BEST 2 is the end of an ERA and a new ERA is about to begin. This sentence has been floating in my mind since the day I heard something about A-BEST 2 but now it's official. There is also the possibility that she's about to end her career for a while to concentrate on other things but I doubt that. (You'll never know before she hasn't finished her asia tour.)

so that's it for now. waitin to see more comments to discuss specific scenes.
and yes ... it's shuya
