First of all, sorry for my English.

About BRILLANTE...

I think this song talk about her artistic career. Ayumi describes his career as BRILLANTE. This word has the meanings Surreal17 said, but a synonym of BRILLANTE can be MAGNIFICO/EXPECTACULAR (marvelous)

PV & Lyrics

The boys represent the phases of Ayumi. Ayumi is sleeping in the dark, then Timmy sings and Ayu wake up. This represents that Ayumi was plunged into darkness and music rescued her.
The first boys represents the naturalness, innocence and fragility. And Ayumi debuted with these things.
The part where her mouth is uncovered represents the discovery of her voice.

Then the lyrics.
A human is much stronger than I thought, isn't he?
I've stayed in the darkness a little longer
But it's time to go


And Ayu run away the darkness changing the room.
The next room represents "training" and "work". Lives like 1LOVE, when Ayu needed to improve, learn to dance, improve her singing and fight to continue. And for this, this room is the longest in the video.

The lyrics.
I couldn't see anything
After that, I saw everything
The road ahead is too narrow
And I have no choice but to walk alone

Represents the changes in her mentality and her feels of loneliness

When the pain becomes
Far beyond the reach of imagination

There is no more energy left
To be able to cry or shout
A human is entirely caught in nothingness, isn't he?

Now is talkin about her deafness. In this part of the lyrics Timmy is in his left ear when he was before in the right and the expressions of Ayu changes, are more saddest.

The next room o part of the video is Ayu walking with the boys and they wear a belt victory, in this moment Ayu was the queen of pop in asia (2007/2008)
The scene changes and she is in the throne... but Timmy start to sing and she can't hear anything, so panics and begins to mourn.
Therefore, the boys who represents the fragility try to catch Ayu and plunge her into darkness again.
But she don't want it, she want still singing (It represents the choice of continue with her career despite his deafness) and this decision ends up murdering Ayumi on her throne.

Ayu is dressed like cleopatra because some people say Cleopatra committed suicide. Ayu is comparing suicide with his decision to continue, ending his successful career.

And Timmy said words like adios, goodbye etc because they are saying goodbye to the best days.

This is my point of view, very sad i think, sorry.
In my opinion Ayu's career is BRILLANTE in all eras.
