Maybe, just maybe, Ayu is being a crybaby when she did not get the ring she wanted. I kinda want to hand her a lollipop when she cried. Making those cute puppy faces in order to get what she wants... please, grow up. ^_^;


There should be a continuation that goes like this...

(Furious, Ayu goes to a dance rehearsal the next day and sees Shuya)

Ayu: Wha wha wha what was that?!!!! (everyone glances at her)

Shuya: Okay, okay, maybe I should practice this dance more...

Ayu: (interupting) Not the dance! The ******* ring!!!

Shuya: Oh I haven't seen that movie in ages. Sadako still creeps me out a bit...

(Ayu grabs Shuya's ear and pulls him down)

Ayu: It's really not a good time to toy with me. (whispers in his ear in the darkest tone she can make it)

(the other dancers get uneasy staring at them)

Shuya: (shivers) Ummm...I know I lied and... (voice continues to tremble) I did promise to get you something ... and I'm really really sorry ... the thing is ... I made another promise to someone else ... (stutters some more incomprehensible sentences)

Ayu: Oh great, just great, you promise the exact same thing to someone else didn't you?! (wonders who could it be)

Shuya: ...sort of... ...well yeah...

Peco: (rushes in) Ayu please calm down, maybe he can make it up to you, just give him time.

Ayu: And why are you defending this lying son of a ... (a sudden sparkle catches her eye, she looks down at Peco's hand and sees the ring)

(a moment of awkward silence passes by as Ayu walks towards a wall and hits her head on it)

Ayu: Oh I see ... of all people ... (looks up in disbelief)

Peco: Oh no no no no no no...it's not what it seems...uuuhhh...it's a present from my parents...who...uuhhh...gave it to me this morning...

Shuya: Yeah it's such a small world isn't it ? She's wearing the exact same ring you wanted...hehe...heh...

(Ayu walks away ignoring them, passes through a door and closes it)

Ayu: (sticks head out of door) By the way Shuya, I slashed your tires... (disappears)

Shuya: Dammit, I just changed them too.


Now that's a twist! O_O

First, mixing the pv ayu with the real ayu is quite a twist... Secondly... out of all people in the world, you chose Peco as the second main female character... That's the most twisted part and it freaks me out a lot... I mean, yeah let's say Shuya didn't buy Peco the ring... Still she was the one riding the bike on Shuya's back.. Thats really creepy .

Omg I absolutely LOVED the PV and song... I cried throughout the PV...

Comments on the song:
Days is really amazing. It's like the awesomeness of her winter ballads such as Together When..., momentum and No way to say, and it has that sweet and sad flavor of MY ALL and JEWEL... sorry but Days is an instant favorite for me, and it pwns GREEN, simply because Days sounds so simple and lala-ish, while GREEN is heavy and complicated. Not that I dislike GREEN, I love GREEN!

My interpretation of the PV:
Well, I don't think the first half was a dream... it was more like a 'few days ago' kind of thing. Let's see...

In the beginning, Ayu woke up while hearing the sound of Shu-ya's motorbike, and she runs down the stairs, while bumping onto her friends. She sees Shu-ya and goes all ga-ga...

At the ring scene, it was more like a Shu-ya was using Ayu to see if the ring was good... and Ayu thought he was gonna buy the ring for him, but in the end he didn't, cos he wanted the ring for someone else (or maybe he bought it, but didn't put it on Ayu), and that explained that disappointed expression on Ayu's face.

In any case, she was still 'whatever' about that, and we come to the dance scene. If you ask me, I DON'T THINK that Ayu was a dancer, like she just joined the troupe because Shu-ya was in it. Kind of like if your crush plays soccer, and you join it, for the sake of him... And she was late or smth, so she sees them dance, and once again goes ga-ga over Shu-ya dancing. May I add that that close of her perspective through her eyes was just plain FANTASTIC, since it shows us that Ayu was indeed crazy in love over Shu-ya, and that him dancing was just 'so cool and hot and awesome!' to Ayu.

Then we get to the 'next day' kind of scene. And you notice some changes. She wakes up at 8 01pm instead, there's snow, and her friends are gone. IMO, this just emphasizes the irony of 'yesterday' and 'today'. The same clothes and expression, to me, are like saying 'this situation appears to be same, but in reality...' It's like she's repeating the situation, and she thought the same thing would happen again - Shu-ya would offer her a ride on his motorbike.

Note that Shu-ya gives that "Hey yo!" kind of look, and that's NOT something you would show your girlfriend. It's more like a sign that something bad's gonna happen. And yeah, we know the rest, when Shu-ya passes the helmet to mystery woman, and the ring was highlighted. And Ayu realizes at that moment, that on that day when they were at the ring stall, Shu-ya intended to give the ring to someone else, and not her. And okay she cried. The "eyes" were shown again, and this time, the vision is distorted and blur... kind of like she's lost, as compared to the previous time, when she was so focused on Shu-ya dancing. Irony much.

Then, at the end, we just saw her friends, and Shu-ya's friend. Like, I would say the guys are Shu-ya's friends, and the girls are her friends. So in the end, all of them were there for Ayu. Maybe they all knew that Shu-ya had another girl, and they didn't want to crush her dreams... Whatever it is, it was clear that her friends, like our friends, would always be there for us.

Some LOL things to take note in the PV are:
MAMA GOMI!!! He was like some gay diva with the girls... and yes he was in that "Ayu's friends" group! I think this was what she meant when she blogged about Mama Gomi.

It's interesting to note that the two repeated scenes of the PV are like two different days, one which is not snowing and had friends, and one that had snow and had no friends. IMO, it's not a dream, more like a 'another day' idea. Maybe that's why the song is titled Days.

Whatever it is, I LOVE Days!

Now that u mention...I didnt see GOMI! hahaha...

and i think ur interpretation is possible too...hahah
esp the 'another day' idea...
probably...but since it happened in one PV and the open and close eyes thing going on....it seems like a dream

gosh, who knew a simple PV had such significance to it

Interesting. In this case, I think "the line between dream and reality has blurred". XDD SEASONS and Days, hmmm? I see how the "another day" interpretation comes about, because to have a dream like that between 8:00 - 8:01 is kinda, well, pushing it, and not only that-- to dream of a similar scene to that of the future (Shuya outside with his motorbike)...

In which case, I think it's better not to think of the PV's scenes in chronological order.

Rather, the first scene is "What Ayu hoped had happened". And the second scene is the flashback. Then the third scene repeat is "What really happened." That way, Ayu doesn't have to have dreamed of it, but instead, the scenes project what Ayu hoped had happened.

I think your 8:01 interpretation of Ayu being "late" by one minute is good. Maybe then, in Ayu's ideal, she wouldn't have been "late". That's why she woke up at 8:00 during the 1st scene, because she wishes that she was on time and Shuya had offered her the helmet.

And just when we thought ayu finally has something like "just another JPOP pv", things took a more interesting twist, or are we just making so much out of nothing?

The lyrics were about Ayu falling hopelessly in love with that someone, and she can't stop thinking about him until he got into her dreams. I think ayu is using the common "what happen in dreams contradict with real life" theory.

Except besides the repeated scenes of her in the pink outfit, there's the ring scene and dance scene where she was wearing different outfits, so that's probably not related to the dream. That probably really happened to her, but what made it confusing is that it's incorporated between the pink outfit scenes.

HAAAA, I still can't stop watching (and analysing) the pv! Thanks to you guys for making it a whole lot interesting. XD

i lurve it

and does anyone else love that fact that Go-mi was with the girls at the beginning, not with all the guys next to shuya? xD so cute hahaha!!

oh and this is the best dressed, most fashion-forward ayu i've seen in a long time. she's actually wearing trendy things. girls here dress just like that xDDD

ayu is still so gyaru at heart

oh and i love how the beginning is like her eye welling up with tears~~ so cool

oh and i don't think shuya is actually a player...i think they all knew she liked him, and then tried to get him to go out with her (leaving him alone with her) but didnt really like her like that...and she just got attached to him...because for him to be a player, he'd had to have shown some interest in her...but he didn't even buy her a ring...lol

iunno maybe im not reading into it enough but she likes him WAYYY more than he likes her haha

AAAND he picked out the ring, not her. which means it wasn't for her when he pointed it out

There should be a continuation that goes like this...

(Furious, Ayu goes to a dance rehearsal the next day and sees Shuya)

Ayu: Wha wha wha what was that?!!!! (everyone glances at her)

Shuya: Okay, okay, maybe I should practice this dance more...

Ayu: (interupting) Not the dance! The ******* ring!!!

Shuya: Oh I haven't seen that movie in ages. Sadako still creeps me out a bit...

(Ayu grabs Shuya's ear and pulls him down)

Ayu: It's really not a good time to toy with me. (whispers in his ear in the darkest tone she can make it)

(the other dancers get uneasy staring at them)

Shuya: (shivers) Ummm...I know I lied and... (voice continues to tremble) I did promise to get you something ... and I'm really really sorry ... the thing is ... I made another promise to someone else ... (stutters some more incomprehensible sentences)

Ayu: Oh great, just great, you promise the exact same thing to someone else didn't you?! (wonders who could it be)

Shuya: ...sort of... ...well yeah...

Peco: (rushes in) Ayu please calm down, maybe he can make it up to you, just give him time.

Ayu: And why are you defending this lying son of a ... (a sudden sparkle catches her eye, she looks down at Peco's hand and sees the ring)

(a moment of awkward silence passes by as Ayu walks towards a wall and hits her head on it)

Ayu: Oh I see ... of all people ... (looks up in disbelief)

Peco: Oh no no no no no no...it's not what it seems...uuuhhh...it's a present from my parents...who...uuhhh...gave it to me this morning...

Shuya: Yeah it's such a small world isn't it ? She's wearing the exact same ring you wanted...hehe...heh...

(Ayu walks away ignoring them, passes through a door and closes it)

Ayu: (sticks head out of door) By the way Shuya, I slashed your tires... (disappears)

Shuya: Dammit, I just changed them too.

Now that's a twist! O_O
LOL LOL LOL Gyahahahahahaha That's the scariest thing I've ever imagined in Ayu's History LOL.....hilarious

In which case, I think it's better not to think of the PV's scenes in chronological order.

Rather, the first scene is "What Ayu hoped had happened". And the second scene is the flashback. Then the third scene repeat is "What really happened." That way, Ayu doesn't have to have dreamed of it, but instead, the scenes project what Ayu hoped had happened.

I think your 8:01 interpretation of Ayu being "late" by one minute is good. Maybe then, in Ayu's ideal, she wouldn't have been "late". That's why she woke up at 8:00 during the 1st scene, because she wishes that she was on time and Shuya had offered her the helmet.
Hmmm never really thought of the "late" wan but I like that idea too. It's as if saying, Ayu was a little late in pursuing her loved one. She was hesistating and only dreaming about it but didnt take action. And reality struck.

The lyrics were about Ayu falling hopelessly in love with that someone, and she can't stop thinking about him until he got into her dreams. I think ayu is using the common "what happen in dreams contradict with real life" theory.

Except besides the repeated scenes of her in the pink outfit, there's the ring scene and dance scene where she was wearing different outfits, so that's probably not related to the dream. That probably really happened to her, but what made it confusing is that it's incorporated between the pink outfit scenes.

HAAAA, I still can't stop watching (and analysing) the pv! Thanks to you guys for making it a whole lot interesting. XD
I think the reason why this "typical","corny" JPOP PV is being discussed so much is because, it actually is VERY directly telling you that
"HEY there are two things happening...some fantasy(or even reality) and Reality". and in a way, its actually quite and somewhat 'twisted' that there are two case scenarios in this PV..which is not what you would expect normally..

i do believe that there is a concept here. Ayu won't do something for nothing.

and Ishii did a great job on this song...(Ayu might prolly ask him back for the next winter PV)

I thought that it was an ok PV.

I just didn't really get the end... lol I read someone say that it was almost like "Omg. You didn't pick me but I'm so pretty anyway -- even when I'm crying".

The only thing that really stuck with me was the closing instrumental. Very pretty melody.

Almost as pretty as the instrumental after the crash noise in DOLLS.

My extended interpretation


Scene 1: The PV opens with the clock showing 8:00. It fades out to show her sleeping still but the clock says 6:00. She wakes up and runs downstairs to greet Shuya. She bumps into a lot of her friends along the way. The guys are originally with Shuya on the bike but when they see Ayu, they walk away to give the two of them some 'alone time'. Shuya yanks her hat but hands her his helmet. Everything is going perfectly. It is a two-hour dream.

Scene 2: Flashback, shes dreaming about a time when they run into a street merchant. Shuya points at a ring as she turns around. His body language suggests him saying "that ring looks pretty nice." She puts it on to show him how it looks, hinting that perhaps she would want him to buy it for her, but nothing is intended. There is some inaudible dialogue between Shuya and the merchant. Hes pointing at Ayu while talking, suggesting "For her? Oh no, shes not my girlfriend".

Scene 3: Another flashback in her dream. Shes rushing into the room looking very worried. It was probably a dance practice and she was running really late. It shows the POV through her eye and it zooms out to show her hold herself with a slight OMG look on her face. It was like time suddenly stood still for Ayu. It is the first time she sees Shuya, and it is love at first sight.

Scene 4: The PV fades back to her sleeping in the same room as Scene 1. The clock says 8:00 PM, two hours since Scene 1 at 6:00. It was all a dream, she was really sleeping for the past two hours. She wakes up and the scene plays out the same as Scene 1 except noticeable differences. Her friends are not there. She greets him, but he gives her a half-smile as he hands the helmet to someone else.

In Scene 4 hes alone on his bike while in Scene 1 they are all hanging together. He was a fairly new addition to their group, part of my theory of "The Perfect Dream Vs. The Sad Reality". In reality, he probably didn't know the rest of the group too well. He probably did not know Ayu too well either suggested by his lack of interaction from Scene 2 & 3 as well as the half-smile that you give to someone you don't really know well as a form of saying "Hey!". The other girl that gets the helmet has the ring she saw earlier. With all these differences from her dream in Scene 1, it hits her that reality is not as perfect as her dream.

i think this PV has a very good plot ( for a sad story) since maybe No way to SAY?

Though i agree she overacted, but again, she is a singer, not an actress or model.

Great song with a perfect PV. L O V E
