. It shows her hands grabbing a BUTTON. Could it be she wore the button as a ring after seeing him in the crowds to show she was waiting for him the whole time?
BUT WAIT. Look at this version carefully. At , it shows the idol wearing a *ring*. Which is odd because I believe you never see her wear a ring in the series, and the guy never gives her a ring too, not to mention it's sort of a big gaudy ring. But if you look at the previous songs, Sarishinohara and 47, it implies that the guy gave her a *button*, which is a Japanese tradition that shows you like her (button closest to your heart). Then, look back at
I've obsessively gone through Rib and this version, and the endings are different. In Rib's version, the ending focuses on the guy. It shows him graduated (he's holding the japanese certificate scroll tube thing), with the wilted sunflower, and then it shows him leaving the classroom. But, in this version, it focuses on the idol girl at the end. It shows her alone in the classroom (flipped classrooms, so they look like they're in different rooms or something), and also shows her leaving the classroom. In their respective versions, it shows the guy/girl smiling and walking away (). It sounds like they both gave up on each other or moved on, right?
