BRILLANT PV interpretations

[C+R+E+AYUMI]

I'm still wondering which role has the guy next to her..a consultant? A page?

[Nessa]

I think many people feel the guy next to her represents some sort of negative force that leads to her "death" at the end.

I hate that mild sarcasm is so lost online. I am pretty much always a smart ass, and that's always confusing people, lol.

[AyumiAi]

its hard to detect sarcasm in typing, unless its extremely obvious

^i would laugh really hard if ayu's entire video is actually dedicated to the conflict in libya

[Nessa]

Someone in the other "BRILLANTE" thread said that she thinks the song itself was written to her fans.

If you use that vein of thought, in the video the men could represent the fans that are slowly suffocating and killing her creativity. Cleopatra killed herself because her own ambition not only lead to her ruin, but if she wasn't careful, it would have taken her people too. Ayu can either quit music and stop dealing with her fans to have true creative license, or her creativity can suffer and she can be beaten, but she keeps her fans, success, and ability to reach millions of people. The video can be a very avant-garde way of portraying this inner conflict she is feeling, while using Cleopatra as her simile.
