Synopsis

Based on the 2010 film Inception, the PV opens with Kumi dreaming in a blue room, attached to several cords; a single blood tear streams from her closed eye. The video begins with her covered in soot and jumping off of a high-rise building with the machines in the room where she dreams going haywire. In the dream, she is searching for a book in a library carrying information on the task at hand: As she reads the words, the library begins collapsing, ending the stage in the dream. The scene shifts to where she is trying to avoid being hit by lasers and escapes by taking hold of a rope and being hauled away by an airship, much like what was used in the PV for Last Angel, featuring TVXQ. Unfortunately, the airship is attacked and Kumi drops, landing on the high-rise building from the opening scene. There, she is ambushed and fights with the opposer. In the midst of the fight, she plants a self-destruct mechanism on him and jumps off of the building. The device destructs and Kumi wakes, the goal of the dream being completed.
