The entire "snowy kiss" video is one big reference to the "appears" video and therefore the lyrics to "appears". It's just a shift of perspective, Ayumi isn't looking at the lovers and wondering if they're truly happy anymore, but she was in such a case now. Makes me wonder if it was inspired by her relationship with Mannie, it seemed happy to the outside, but just ended one day.
Don't get the big deal about the domestic violence in the video though. It's the most effective action to show that a relationship is not working for either partner, so it only makes sense to show it in the video.
Art is free from moral responsibilities for me.
