Music Video

The music video was directed by Masashi Muto. Part of the video was filmed at the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London.
It continues to where Sexy Little Things left off. It starts in reverse and the guitar becomes whole again. The bulk of the video features Hamasaki singing with the band and is inter-cut of random scenes of random people. The transition effects of the video depict her switching the scenes like a touchscreen or crumpling the scene itself like a piece of paper. In the end of the video, the whole entirety is rewound by Ayumi (dressed in red, previously seen from the Sexy Little Things PV).
