Music Video The PV for "SURREAL," directed by Wataru Takeishi, shows Ayu 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 Ayu wakes up... or does she? Director: Wataru Takeishi (Dee DRIVE inc.) Producer: Ryuzo Shoji (to max inc.)
