Music Video

A shot from the music video

The music video for "fated" was directed by Wong Hoi. The story follows Hamasaki as an artist falling in love with her bodyguard.

It shows Hamasaki at a press conference exchanging looks with her bodyguard (Shang Yue), until she drops a glass of water, shown as a bad omen. After the conference, they agree to meet at a promised place. Later on, we can see her running on a street in a wedding dress, as an ambulance and some police officers pass her by. She arrives at the place of a bike accident, and she finds out that it was her bodyguard.
