Music Video
The music video for SURREAL was directed by Takeishi Wataru. The video shows Hamasaki waking up in her bed, and looking around to see that she's on a beach. She hikes up a mountain and ultimately to a gazebo inside a brightly-colored jungle area, where she sees herself as a wildcat. The dream environment eventually crumbles, and Hamasaki wakes up... or does she?
