It's rather plain Romance symbolism throughout, mainly longing - with just a tiny bit of Baroque.

the main symbols for the story:
standing at the window/staring out the window -> longing for change/something you can't accomplish
green plant -> life, hope, personal growth
snow -> cleansing
walking outside into nature at the end -> reaching what you thought was impossible

She longs for something that she thinks is impossible, but goes through personal growth and a cleansing process and reaches it at the end. Pretty much the Party Queen storyline.

I might analyze it on my blog soon, it's a quite simple but rewarding video...but I really have to finish my (m)u post first xD

The way she stopped singing and looking at the camera was making me uncomfortable... but I'm thinking that was her way to singing to someone who's not necessarily us.

for some reason i find that idea hilarious XD
would have definitely been something different...

drinking cold tea (because you know the pot has been standing there for too long), a lot of 4th wall breaking and then dissapearing outside... mmmhkay...

That's a really cool plant and some nice looking teapot she has there..

I'm sure AHS can come up with some sort of meaning for this

I like it.
It looks like she is really happy and then somebody says something to her and she is disappointed/sad and leaves. .__.

I dig it. I'm just going to whine forever about circle lenses when you're trying to convey simplicity and honest, strong emotion.

Even though nothing's happening I really like it. It's different from her recent videos somehow, the atmosphere is really new!
Also it completely fits the song, I dunno I just like it a lot. It was soft and kinda sad, but when she's sitting at the table looking at the camera it was a little creepy... she scared me for a second LOL

hmm its a nice PV but the bold part is the climax in this PV for me, Wataru Takeshi made a great job for Ayu to play with her emotions and those who were watching it too! yes it scared as if shes staring at me happily and then like there's "soemone" saying bad things or unecessary things for her that made her sad

and the scene where shes standing before the huge blue painting is so beautiful with the snow falling down

and it gave me a question mark when she just walked out of the house or her studio seemed she looked like a painter in this PV

I have to say that I enjoyed the video. I’ve loved the song ever since I first heard it, and I feel like the soft atmosphere of the video really fits with it. Ayu also looks extremely gorgeous in it. Like I don’t know what it is but ayu has just been looking exceptionally gorgeous lately. Like don’t get me wrong, I think ayu in general is a very beautiful woman, but in these three new pvs as well as in her recent tv performances I’m just amazed at how stunning she looks.

I have to say though that my only negatives about the pv are that some of the scenes seem a little rehearsed to me, and not very natural. Like when she suddenly turns around to get the teapot and sit down, I don’t know what it is but something about that part bothers me. Lol.

I also found the part when she looked at the camera right after sitting down to be creepy and kind of awkward lol. Like up until that point it felt like ayu was alone in her house and the audience was an outside force that was observing her, but then she suddenly looked at the camera and gave that smile like she was saying “I know you’re watching me” lol

That's exactly what it is It's a nod to the very early days of cinema, when film was an exhibitionistic medium rather than a voyeuristic one - which it is today. Looking into the camera from an off angle acknowledges the audience and tells them "look, I am giving you insight". It's rarely done nowadays, but it's generally understood as being that - breaking the 4th wall so-to-say.
