Music video

The music video features Moritaka walking on her way home after work. During her commute, she rents a VHS copy of Aitsu ni Koishite (which she also starred in) and buys a bento meal. Upon arriving in her apartment, she has her dinner and watches the movie before looking at a ring in a jar, which is presumably an engagement ring from a former boyfriend.

Moritaka re-recorded the song and uploaded the video on her YouTube channel on December 19, 2014.[5] This version is also included in Moritaka's 2015 self-covers DVD album Love Vol. 8.[6]
