RnRC PV interpretations

[Misa-chan]

Here's my humble take on what all the recently released RnRC PVs might mean.

Posted previously, here's what I thought Microphone was about:

First, she shows us the normal perceptions that we have of people: a responsible soldier, a happy family playing cards, a "sister", a janitor, a white-faced clown, ayu herself as a calm sister. Then all these perceptions are swept away and the horror and violence comes out: the soldier tears her uniform off, the family's dysfunctional, the sister is a brother in gag, the janitor able to dance so well, the clown turns out to be a pyromaniac, and ayu herself goes slightly mad.

The guy in the white box during the first verse of the PV is kinda symbolic, like how at first, he's trapped inside the box, but manages to come out in the end. So maybe he's symbolizing the ugly side of us that's always hiding and trying to get out??...

For SLT, I feel that it's the complete exact opposite of Microphone.

What I can tell from SLT is that its trying to be scary/serious, but it turns out to be funny instead. The bleeding and screaming electric jack is actually linked up to a weird and funny-looking stereo eye. Runway models and that row of soldiers, who are always serious and unsmiling in real-life, are jumping and prancing around crazily instead. The horse-balloons/balloon-horses are self-explanatory. The band has silly make-up on their faces. Even ayu herself, who's dressed so fashionably/gothic-ly, acts a little silly herself with those cute/funny little dances. The only scary part was when the giant burst through the wall, but the high-pitched "1,2,3,4" squeak immediately following it spoiled the scary moment.

Like how Microphone is "unmasking" the scary/mutant side of people, SLT seems to throw it right back in your face, saying that no matter how scary things may seem, there's also a silly/fun side to it.

Both PVs (esp SLT) make very very heavy usage of the contrast between BLACK and WHITE. I guess the main idea behind the entire thing is that, nothing is single-sided. Everything has 2 faces. And now, just where have we seen this before?....

Don't Look Back

DLB: 2-faced ayu, plus A BEST 2 cover has both BLACK and WHITE versions.

They're all linked I tell you!

Anyone has any other thoughts?
