Music Video
Normal Version
The default version of the music video, which was included in the album, features Hayami dancing in a Costco located in Amagasaki, Hyogo, Japan. In the Costco dance scenes, she has backup dancers that wear Costco employee uniforms. There are also quick scenes with two American football players, and to match that, during some scenes where Hayami is pushing a shopping cart through the store, she also wears an American football jersey. The video was directed by Iwao "gan" Kojima.
"Fun" Version
This alternate version of the music video was filmed in Nagai Stadium in Osaka. There are scenes of Hayami dancing with backup dancers on the field, singing in the stands, and dancing in the locker room. To match with the outdoor sporting aesthetic, many of her clothes are from B-style brand SHOOP. The choreography is the same as the standard version of the video. This version of the music video only appears on the compilation CD FUN FUN'S RECOMMEND~MUSIC & VISUAL SELECTION. This song is the only one of Hayami's to get multiple PVs.
