She used to give her fans more than a lot of other celebrities. I think she really cares for her fans and trying to not disappoint them. For me her actions proves she's a good person but she shouldn't feel sorry for being herself and living her life. If we care of her too we'll understand her decisions.

Instead of the background video of her, I wish it was a black and white video of clips of current world events.

Just IMO.

I liked it better than Flower for sure, but the last bit with her looking off to the side seemed so weird, like the editor just gave up and used whatever footage at the end. I think a rain of black oil or whatever would've been better (I know its nothing new) because I felt that her just sitting in the black stuff was a little halfhearted but Im sure its because she didnt want to ruin that pretty dress.

This is totally what I mean, she is a very good person.

All in all,
You're absolutely right. I do believe that she cares so much! she has proven it is still proving it to us!

It's a good idea but I think she might not want to be too involved in this area maybe? Or too expressive on it. Politics, current affairs, economics, etc.

What I found most interesting is how the whole screen at the end like burns up like a picture idk what you call that effect.. but it's interesting to me. Also I wanna know if there's any specific reasons for the scenes chosen in the background, if those were moments when she didn't feel happy or if those are her favorite moments or just random scenes

The song is about living in "sick sad world" but it asking questions about the things - not giving a list of reason why this world is "mad". I believe Ayu wrote it like that on purpose so everyone of us can interpret it own way and think about what makes us sick about this world. I don't think she had any particular world event in mind so scenes showing her own past seems to be suitable (everyone has his/her own hell, right?).

The video might be nothing spectacular, but I like it. It's very her.

^Yes! And somehow when I watched it, the music and ayu's crying/singing really got me in that I had goosebumps and I was even about to cry when I saw those background clips where ayu was crying at her concerts. This MV is not the one that I will watch many times, because there's so little to happen, but still it has these emotional sides that are succeeded.

Well, I like it, they lost some opportunities in the second chorus (making something more different, using other angles and cuts) and the play with the ink.
But it's wrapped, the shade takes form in the ink and it's thrown to her, I just wished that she was directly affected by the ink, like MOON.

One thing however wasn't very clear to me. In the end, they start to snip some of her PVs, but then the screen is cutted and when it returns, it shows Virgin Road and Microphone PVs onwards on a very quickly way, which I found it strange.

I may be overthinking, but IMO seems like she wants to express that her career is constantly reminded until 2007/2008 (as if they were her "golden years") and from that point onwards everything is seen on a blink. Based on this, she would surely know when everybody started to throw rocks on her and ask for her retirement, which is pretty sad...

I think I read somewhat the black ink was suposed to represent the negative reaction from the public... What I read as something like "I'm giving my all and the haters are still tainting my work no matter what" or "even if I put a happy face while I'm Ayumi the popstar, all this hate still taint the real me".

What I do find interesting is that she herself is the one tainting herself. The ink spreads and she may stand in it, but she is the one taking it.

She should transform after first chorus and then splattered the ink all over the white screen like a mad woman

Maybe it's her lack of ability to just ignore it?
