A sentimental pop-rock tune. The song starts off soft and picks up the pace later on. It's most notable because Ryo actually sings a solo verse, and it's AWESOME. The video shows the band playing against a beige backdrop, but makes great use of special effects to impose stylish, geometric effects and clips of past concerts. Design-wise, it's well done and interesting.

A rock ballad with a light piano & flute melody. The m/v is colorful, pretty, and funny. It features the band playing on a sunny day for a news show. Tomiko and Van are actually elsewhere controlling robot versions of themselves. Malfunctions happen, hilarity ensues. DAI gets to show off their sense of humor in this playful video.

The ending theme for Inuyasha: The Final Act, this is a high-energy rock song. To pay tribute to the band's long connection with the tv series, the single included all of DAI's past themes for Inuyasha as well. The m/v shows Tomiko and Ryo performing in the desert with a fierce, hardcore image concept. Expect lots of wind, dust, and dramatic shots.

This soulful song was written by a winner of the Do! Creative contest. The m/v shows a monochrome slideshow of an elderly man's life, particularly his love of baseball games. The song lyrics are from the perspective of a woman reflecting upon her deceased father. The band makes no appearance, but the m/v conveys the emotional magnitude perfectly.

An energetic rock song designed to get you pumped up. The m/v is fully done in CG with a sci-fi theme story featuring girl pilots, space ships, and fighter mechs. The CG comes from animation artist Masahiro Ushiyama's White Rose short film. This may be connected to DAI's fondness for space and robotics. The band members make no appearance.

An all-English rock ballad. The m/v shows that Tomiko, Ryo, and their tour band playing in a small studio. Tomiko's English is uncomfortable, but the instrumentals are strong and show good transitions between soft and hard parts. This m/v shows how DAI shines when they get to rock out and perform live. This is their natural habitat.

This is classic DAI - a big rock ballad with a mix of instruments. The video shows Tomiko and Ryo performing at ancients ruins with grainy images of nature. The general style is a vintage one of sepia tones and time exposure. Here, it feels like DAI is bridging the gap between their old and new music. It's a solid, outstanding track, but not super innovative.
