I like the song, video... and the hair.
What is going on in this picture?

He's doing ab/core training with hyde. It's the training room in GACKT's house.

Love the melody in this song. The parts of the video with Maro in them are pretty cool. The battle scene...not particularly interesting but maybe something unexpected happens seeing the whole thing. I thought it was interesting when he said he wanted viewers to think about who Maro is supposed to be within the story. I always interpreted the character as a Sephiroth clone the spirit of the dying protagonist, but since he's in this one too, maybe it's supposed to be Death?

Actually the other day in the supermarket I looked up and saw a box that said ARROZ and I thought of ARROW and got really confused for like a full 5 seconds. orz Native language FAIL (Arroz = Spanish for "rice".)

One thing that I find interesting if you compare this PV to the one for Returner is that in that one, the character wearing the leather/ripped wardrode that GACKT is also wearing in ARROW has the same appearance/hair style as the samurai fighting. In ARROW, the characters are different. Not sure what to make of that yet.

Ooh, good point!

oh, this does have a lot of similarities to Returner! I should go watch that again.
