Meaning behind the Moments PV?

[[taskin.ayu]]

What do you guys think the meaning behind the Moments PV is? At first I thought it was a normal PV, but I realised how sinister it is after I watched it again recently. D:

Was Ayu killed somehow? Because I watched the PV again carefully, and it shows the toy figurines sprawled around the toy bedroom like they were killed at around 4:54 of the video. Also, how do you think the kids were involved? Since they pulled apart a figure.

it reminds me of ...how do you say in english...like Freud...pent up memory....Ayu walking in the corridor may represents the darkness of the unconscious...she sees something that seems a normal scene , the children playing (that is disguised memory) but somethng darker is hiding behind....
bu that just me and the effects of the psy classes on my brain lol

i agree, Moments this songs is write to season's time(2000)'s ayumi(ayu said that in one mag,also she said she had seen many thing in that time which she don't want to see), the MV talk about how horrible the sence which she had seen in 2000(or before,eg.in her childhood) , and the PRESENT ayu is trying to save the old ayu or try to release herself from those darkness which she encountered in her life

The official "Moments" synopsis.

*In this PV you might realize that the make-up on the white dress Ayumi's face a little weird because the make-up artist doing this to show Ayumi be crying on the bed for sometime and a little pale.

The opening of this PV you could see Ayumi is sleeping on her bed. While sleeping there is some flash of herself lying in a pool of blood of a dark place and the flower doll's room. When she had opened her eyes the door is opened for her which lure her out to see what's out there. She got up from her bed and lighted up a torch to guide her through the darkness of her house. Ayumi is doing this because she's in a darkness that she couldn't depend on herself much.

After lighted up the torch she walked out of her room to check what's going wrong. While walking there is some flash back where she's sleeping in her bed. I guess you had thought of it. She's actually dreaming. Back to where we were, hlaf way through the walking Ayumi stoped and stare at the door. Those kids that will appear later on in this PV should be sleeping in this room or making some noise from this room that used to be, but it didn't. Let's put it this way that all those little kids represent a Ayumi's lover. She knew that they're not here and kept on looking for them. Then she pass by another door which had bird singing sound coming out and she could feel it's not them.
As you know if you truly love someone for very long and deep you could feel the presense of that person. She could sense that herself in danger too, but she thought if she didn't open that door which had the sound of birds singing. She could run away from it. That's why she wrote " Your naked heart is wandering, having nowhere to go. Your surrounding growing sharp thorns around for fear of being touched."

You must be wondering why didn't she open and couldn't sense other doors that she had walked pass. This is because Ayumi place her love before anything else and even herself. She's getting near to a door which she felt the presense of her lover which is those little naughty kids. In this room showing those little kids playing with dolls and a doll's room which looked like the room that Ayumi is sleeping in the opening. Those little kids also got surround by many beautiful flowers. Those flowers is actually Ayumi herself. In the lyric of " Moments " Ayumi wrote " If my life transient like a flower. I would be a full bloom by your side and after watching your smile. I would
fall alone, just quietly. " Those little kids that's playing around with dolls had torn one of the dolls body apart. This is also mean that Ayumi is the dolls too. Let's put it this way that i'm your doll and you could whatever you want to me and i would be glad to do whatever you want as long as you'll treasure me, but the wrost nightmare is that you'll destroy me and left me behide when you're tired of me. Those kids suddenly turn into big wood dolls. That meaning no matter how a good-looking a person could they're just builded up of bones. Instead of showing bones they turn it into big wood dolls.

The doll is spoiled and the fun of those little kids had came to an end and they run out of the room without finding someway to fix back the doll and started looking for something new and fun to play with till they're tired of it. This show that how human sometime play with love. Starting of it you'll learn to treasure that someone and spent money and love and time on that person, but when you're tired of that person you'll pelt that person away without caring how that person truly felt. Those little kids had found Ayumi's bedroom and they started to play with it. As you can see Ayumi is lying in a pool of blood in a dark place. I had realized that many people had been wondering what's that liquid thing. Is it oil? Or is it blood? Well... It's actually both. We had chosen to use black oil mixed with a little crimson color to make it look a little like blood. They're doing this because they fear that this PV will get violent rating. Ayumi always believed that Angel's wings is made of human hope, wish and dream. Those little kids that torn the doll's body apart like they had tear off Ayumi's wings. That's also why she wrote " The broken pieces of your dream sticks on to my chest. Leaving the pain that I'll never forget. " After those little kids is tired of playing in Ayumi's bedroom they simply leave and Ayumi is suffering in her own agony alone and the mess they left behind..."

I told you honestly, this song is TOTALLY NOT about love, it is about her past(you can find that out in on one magazine which publish around 04 april<--i forgot the name ), ayu's song rarely talk about love(such as dearset, it is not a love song, it is about the love relations between HUMAN but not boyfriend and girlfriend, actually, ayu said people always like to interpert her song with those shallow point(love song), it is not what she want).

Moments is absoulately NOT about love, if you know japanese you can find out more DEEP meaning inside her song, there are so many DEEP things such as:despire, darkness of human and ayu's heart, her childhood, her view on the differences of herself(AYU) and the singer-hamasaki ayumi(appear in Duty abulm), also, how she re-recongize herself when she become a singer; lately after duty, ayu like to wrote about her and avex, wrote about the responsiblity that she NEED to take as the queen of AVEX; mostly recently, she wrote about the confusion of real ayu and a singer(ayumi hamasaki) which in the song GAME; the thought which want to become more HUMANLY( in anena tour 03-04), so, she wrote INSPIRE, she want to inspire people to live as they wish but not faking everthing.


if you can read those article in magazine, misunderstanding of her song will not be happen(as well as the PV)

[ayu_chan82]

true that her lyrics are really covering a lot ( I mean they can allude to love, human relationships,life..)so we can't never limit to a singje theme
By the way does she decide about the PV " story " and such? it depends of the artist..

[yamogi]

the story is decided by director or ayu or both of them,such as INSPIRE, it is all deceided by ayu(including the story, sence snd customs), the mv of about you is created by the director, although the theme is decided by diector, it always closely releated with the deepest meaning of the song(such as ourselevs)

[Deep snow]

wow, OK, that's about all i think...
thanks JinHamasaki for that [ehem] official analysis...

[Raleigh]

Dearest is the first song she sang about her boyfriend o_O I'm sure I had read that somewhere.

thanks for explaining ^^

[JinHamasaki]

Whaat? I think whoever translated the article made it seem like a love song but in reality its about relationships with her friends and such. She is willing to sacrifice herself for her friends and the people she cares about.
