The video also includes a dance performance of the seven members in conjunction with moving lights.[3]

The members give an extraordinary performance using suspension straps and poles inside the train, which is decorated in a club-like atmosphere.[4]
The coupling song "Koakuma Lip" included in the standard edition is the theme song for dTV (Lemino)'s "Kiss My Dokidokiun" featuring the members.
