Music Video

PV Shot

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?
