In which case, I think it's better not to think of the PV's scenes in chronological order.

Rather, the first scene is "What Ayu hoped had happened". And the second scene is the flashback. Then the third scene repeat is "What really happened." That way, Ayu doesn't have to have dreamed of it, but instead, the scenes project what Ayu hoped had happened.

I think your 8:01 interpretation of Ayu being "late" by one minute is good. Maybe then, in Ayu's ideal, she wouldn't have been "late". That's why she woke up at 8:00 during the 1st scene, because she wishes that she was on time and Shuya had offered her the helmet.
Hmmm never really thought of the "late" wan but I like that idea too. It's as if saying, Ayu was a little late in pursuing her loved one. She was hesistating and only dreaming about it but didnt take action. And reality struck.

The lyrics were about Ayu falling hopelessly in love with that someone, and she can't stop thinking about him until he got into her dreams. I think ayu is using the common "what happen in dreams contradict with real life" theory.

Except besides the repeated scenes of her in the pink outfit, there's the ring scene and dance scene where she was wearing different outfits, so that's probably not related to the dream. That probably really happened to her, but what made it confusing is that it's incorporated between the pink outfit scenes.

HAAAA, I still can't stop watching (and analysing) the pv! Thanks to you guys for making it a whole lot interesting. XD
I think the reason why this "typical","corny" JPOP PV is being discussed so much is because, it actually is VERY directly telling you that
"HEY there are two things happening...some fantasy(or even reality) and Reality". and in a way, its actually quite and somewhat 'twisted' that there are two case scenarios in this PV..which is not what you would expect normally..

i do believe that there is a concept here. Ayu won't do something for nothing.

and Ishii did a great job on this song...(Ayu might prolly ask him back for the next winter PV)
