But the video on her official YouTube channel says it's the short version (it seems like the full one though, am I wrong?), so I keep thinking that maybe I just missed something... But then I heard that Ayu made a tweet saying she hates fat people (is this true?). I am so shocked and appalled, not to mention heartbroken since I've been a fan for about a decade.
The comments she made on Twitter are like this (she doesn't really mention fat people unless there was a Japanese tweet about it, but most articles just called her a 'heroine of a Hollywood-comedy-style video'):

Of course I will listen all my loBely's opinions anytime. But thing is that you all haven't seen the real ending yet. Don't worry

The msg is how we feel about ourselves or have confidence after we have tried something really hard or serious- no matter what ppl think.

Most important thing is, She's fun and full of life, and her confidence shines, she feels beautiful herself <3 <3 <3
The execution was a little iffy, but I think the message was there. You could interpret it any way you want, but the message was definitely positive in the end.
