"Will" video idea~!!

[walking proud]

Too bad I don't have the equipment or the pretty face to act it out, but it's a good idea, isn't it??

Okay, I’ll describe it in words since I’m no good at drawing.

---------------------------------

From 0:00 to 0:18 (the intro/before the lyrics):
It sets the scene. It is outside, there’s a very big tree and nature is all around. Sakura petals are on the ground, but none are in the sky. The sky is somewhat gray, as if predicting rain (foreshadowing). Ayu is sitting against the tree as we can see as it zooms up. She is wearing a white shirt, and a gray cotton sweater, and blue jeans. It’s very simple and not very flashy, as if it could be anyone sitting there.

From “Hito” to “darou” + music after that:
It zooms in enough to where you can see Ayu’s face. It’s as if she’s telling the story: “People say in the course of their journeys..”. During the small break between these lyrics and the next lyrics, the camera zooms to show a cliff in the background, without completely going off of Ayu, but instead just blurring her in the side of the camera.

From “Souko” to “darou”:
The camera zooms in on her face as she smiles and continues to tell the story. “How much can they choose there? What the inner voice leads them to?” The wind picks up, the grasses and the leaves of the big tree start swaying and the wind can be heard in the background somewhat.

From “Dare” to “Chikau”:
“No one knows tomorrow, That is darkness, I hold out my hand with all my might, And swear next to you”. Although Ayu is still heard singing, in the video she stops singing and jumps up, as if surprised. She starts to run for the cliff, which seems so far away even though the camera tells the truth: it’s not really all that far. Running through the knee high grass, she eventually reaches the cliff (with a thunderbolt sound in the background).

Chorus:
“Hira hira hira hira.. Like falling flower petals… Yura yura, my wavering heart.. Be tall and proud” is in the background. She falls to her knees, holding out her hand over the cliff. It’s not shown what she’s holding her hand out to yet in the video, instead it just shows a side view of her sprawled on the ground, reaching for whatever it is that’s over the cliff. It starts raining also during the chorus and thundering, but with heavy rain, it starts raining pink flower petals, that begin to pile up.

Music between chorus and next verse, and next verse:
Once again it is sunny, and apparently it’s a flashback of earlier that day. It shows Ayu wandering near the cliff, staring down into it wonderingly. “What is sad is
To lose sight of myself for the sake of myself”. This Ayu is wearing a long white dress, maybe a wedding dress? Her mascara is running (from crying) but she is no longer crying.

Bridge before chorus:
“I believe in the scenery no one has ever seen, And wish next to you staying in that place that doesn't exist”. Ayu leans a little bit off of the cliff, and deliberately walks right off the cliff, but it doesn’t show her falling. Instead, it fades back to the raining scene of the previous chorus.

Chorus:
“Kira kira kira kira, Like strong sunshine, Kura kura, emit a light, So dazzlingly”. It zooms up to Ayu’s face, singing through the rain that’s falling, and she has become quite wet and covered in the pink petals that stuck because of the rainwater.

Interlude (2:25 to 2:40):
It shows the tree and all the grass growing in a rapid motion, as if it were showing over the years. It shows a small girl (supposedly young Ayu) playing by the tree which had grown into being young.

Verse after interlude:
“** Hira hira hira hira, Like falling flower petals. Yura yura, my wavering heart, Be tall and proud”. The young Ayu is lip synching it while picking a leaf from the tree, and she lets it go and it starts to roll away.

Chorus after that:
”Kira kira kira kira, Like strong sunshine, Kura kura, emit a light, So dazzlingly”. It shows what she’s reaching for after the chorus. The camera zooms over her shoulder to show herself hanging onto the ledge, the self from earlier in the day that had jumped off the cliff.

Interlude at the end of the song:
It shows Ayu grabbing the “falling” Ayu’s arm, and pulling her up with a strong pull, and they both roll into the grass. The sun shines through the clouds, thus “emitting a light like strong sunshine, so dazzlingly” on the two of them as they both smile. At the end (with only the few chords) it zooms out, showing just the tree and the piled up pink flower petals.
