Timing & video effects are crisp, clean, & engaging. Very well done.
If you can create stills (like in Paintshop, Photoshop, etc.) you can include a few hints along the way that Keitaro (sp?) is indeed DEAD. Like a B&W photo frame with two black ribbons on the upper corners, or do a crossover - grab any Japanese cemetery scene (Nadesico - Prince of Darkness comes to mind, but many others would do - as long as it's not a Western style churchyard, such as those seen in Hellsing,) crop out the other character(s) if any, then drop in Naru - possibly in a veil if you can draw one or nab one off another character.
One or two such reminders about 1/2-way or 2/3-way along might keep the focus. Another possibility might be -NOT- letting that be known until later in the video - the lyrics just say 'gone,' 'without you,' etc. Maybe let viewers wonder - gone for a while, broke up & moved on, and -then- throw in the funeral images for the 'OMG' reality-twist effect.
Just my 2-cents; neat stuff to think about...
Again, though, really nice, sharp video editing. Bravo.
