Music Video

The music video for "RAINBOW" was directed by Takeishi Wataru. It follows Hamasaki as she's walking down the street on several occasions, everytime noticing someone who looks like her. One day, while she's walking down the street, she splits up and another Hamasaki comes out, and starts running. The original Hamasaki begins to run after her, under they encounter each other in a night club. The video ends up with them both sitting at a table, when one of the Hamasaki's start laughing and the other one disappears.
