Thanks for watching and for your feedback.

I agree with you about how risqué the lyrics are, but regardless of the band's motives for making the PV look cute, I'm still wondering if this song is sung from Cupid's point of view. It makes a big difference in interpreting the song.

I was wondering if you could verify some things in this PV. The link I gave you before had low quality video. This one has higher quality so it can be easier to see what I'm talking about:
YouTube - ‪アンティック-珈琲店-「夏恋★夏GAME」【NEW PV】‬‏

At 1:24, it the pianist acts as if he is hit by something. Cupid's arrow?

At 3:07, we see a doll in the sky. Could this be Cupid, the one that shot the arrow that hit the pianist at 1:24?

At 1:12, when the lyrics say "女を刺す," doesn't it look like the toy is sticking it's chest out, as if to say, "shoot here?"

At 1:19 the band members make a symbol with their hands. Is this the symbol for a target, where Cupid's arrows are supposed to be shot? They do this also at 2:27 and 3:39.

At 1:35 we see the singer sitting in a chair. The lyrics here are about sex. Could the singer be portraying Cupid watching what's going on?

At 4:00, at the end of the song, we see the doll that was seen in the sky sitting in the same chair that the singer was sitting in. If this doll represents Cupid, then could that mean that at 1:35 , when the singer was sitting in the same chair, he was playing the part of Cupid?
