I really love this PV. At first I thought it was boring and meaningless. Just happy-go-lucky, no story, no meaning and then the broken girl at the end came along and woke from, probably the best dream, she's had in years.


IMO, Dream-Ayu was never supposed to fit in the PV. She acts awkward in almost every scene of the dream-sequence. She's too happy, too exited, she looks at the kids all the time, not just 'her' kids, but all the kids and gets overly exited. So, IMO, she's not a mom. She seems like she never had kids to begin with. She's happy they're there, but she doesn't know how to express it. If she had kids and her life was like this everyday, she wouldn't act so out of it.

The second verse has her sitting alone at the pool, her feet in the water, the chair she was sitting on is still standing behind her, the balloons are still there, but the kids and her husband are missing. I think, that's the first time, she begins to realize she's dreaming. And since she won't want to wake up, she repeats every scene she saw, to stay in that dream-like phase. She even adds the kids singing to her song, to make that dream even more enjoyable for her (she's smiling when they're singing.)

Then after the second chorus she starts to wake up. The pictures get blurry, the colors change. Flashbacks to all the things she's seen in that dream are coming to her mind.

Dream-Ayu is standing at the pool, with her arms outstretched, like she wants to embrace every single thing she has seen in this dream. The Images get a blue tint, the chair she was sitting on is empty, the picture quality gets worse. And as the little girl blows up the bubbles she just made, she makes the final decision to wake up and let's herself fall into the pool, because she knows she's not supposed to be there. (Some of her interacting with the kids is played backwards, like she was erasing herself out of that dream.)

The colors chage back to normal, the sun isn't shining, and Broken-Ayu wakes up, tearstains on her face, make-up messed up. And she realizes what she dreamed of, why she has tears in her eyes:

Because, she can't be a part of that dream-life. Her carrier (outfit) and her lifestyle (alcohol, knocked over things - either she was angry, held a little party all by herself or she held a party with guests) won't let that happen. That dream-life is everything she wants and can't get, because then she had to choose.


Well, that's my way to interpret a PV I wasn't so fond of when I first saw the short version and instantly fell in love with the first time I watched the full version. It even made me love the song Sweet Season like.. WOAH xD

My 2 cents ^^;
