Reference from another guy: 2:47 I don't know if anyone has pointed out the meaning behind this scene but I'll explain either way The red figure you see is I guess a Chinese opera singer (not sure tho). Their dance is very unique and distinct. When he puts his arm up and down, he is encouraging the guy to dance to his own rythm. Later you see, his eyes and hair have turned a different color, meaning he wishes to look like someone else. Then his other mates join him, and he starts to forget his steps. Basically looking at them and copying. This symbolizes how you sometimes forget who you are in order to be like others and when you do that, you can't be yourself around them. 3:32 he rushes towards the back of the group so as to mingle with the others and not stand out. He's learning how to behave like them. Later you see the group halts and moves in other direction, putting him in the spotlight once again. He gets up because now he has learnt how to dance like them so he takes the spotlight. But no matter how much you pretend you can never truly act/behave like others all the time. So then he falls, and his mates help him up: meaning that they're not necessarily bad people, they're just different from him. And when he's on ground they all leave and you see his true inner core: a child who just wanted to be accepted into the society. He faces his mother who smiles back at him, meaning he has finally found his home.

The MV contains a strong message. The orchestra version conveys the splendor of the melody (official site).The arrangement is wonderful.

If you are interested in Asian reactions to the song, I recommend this Korean-American, Dan. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3emoYZrncadrZY Unfortunately, his video has already been made private due to the slander of Asian racism. This is a video with Japanese translation made with Mr. Dan's consent.

11:11 you might be thinking of contemporary dancing, I think :)

I think the figure in the red cape is Aka Manto. Not a nice traditional Japanese folklore character seeing him could mean you are dying of blood loss. The lyrics are the problem we all face as we grow up your family's values vs being part of the group. Very impactful video of the dilemma faced as you grow up. The song is catchy and upbeat. The message is not.

That is actually a chinese opera mask that he is wearing, and switching face is the primary technique that they need to learn

There is a dance from the Chinese culture, it's called Bian Lian, from Sichuan province. The performer changes the face in a quick manner and does that many times. He wants to change his appearance so badly, ironically triggered by his own folklore culture, and well timed with the lyric in that section as well
