"Dr." is a song recorded by Amuro Namie, and first appears on her 33rd single "WILD / Dr." and then on her 8th album PAST < FUTURE. The song was used as the theme for the Bourgeois Gorgeous Vidal Sassoon CM. It is described as a futuristic love song, although it features a sample from a classical bolero.
Music Video
The PV for "Dr." is entirely animated and is Amuro's first fully animated music video. It was directed by famed video game animator Kamikaze Douga.
The video is set in the year 3000 on a post-apocalyptic planet that was destroyed by war and environmental neglect. Amuro Namie is the animated heroine of the story, and is being instructed by one that could be described as Dr. Chronos (or the Dr. of time) who is mentioned in the song. Her objective is to travel through time in order to restore the world’s natural beauty and save it from destruction. As she travels to the year 2500 she beings to restore the world’s ecosystem, however, during the restoration process Amuro is attacked by enemy forces bent on maintaining the world’s annihilation. The doctor then sends Amuro to the year 2200 but a mass war is in effect and she is unable to stop it. When it becomes apparent that restoration isn’t an option, the doctor sends Amuro to the 21st century in desperation to convey a message of world peace to a young girl (a second animated alter ego of Amuro). The message reads “We return to change your past. We hope for the future at which you are laughing, have a good future."
The sequence ends with the phrase "TO BE CONTINUED". Amuro's animated heroine character returns for the music video for her song "Defend Love" in which she portrays a third animated alter ego in a Mobile Suit Gundam theme.
