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? |
I have read the lyrics several times and watched the video at least three times now and I still do not sense the Cupid that you speak of.
I've shown the lyrics and the video to a few people (all Japanese-speakers with university degrees) and none of them even thought of a Cupid, either. Like myself, they basically only saw a horny guy out to get girls in the summer if I may sound blunt here. As native Japanese-speakers, we are being unable to imagine Cupid speaking the wild and bald way the lyrics are written in.
This is not, by any means, to say that your theory is wrong. We are simply reading and interpreting the song differently than you this time. Hopefully, others will be posting their opinions here.
