Music video
The music video shows Ami dressing a once-piece red motocross suit. In the first scenes of the video she is inside a sort of shop showcase as if she was a statue, and when the music beats start she begins an energetic choreography with her dancers. Two of the dancers in the video are members of J-Pop band AAA. In the next scene of the video Ami appears sitting a couch aside a lamp, and she goes to another room there, where she finds a modern motorbike. She puts a helmet on, gets onto the motorbike and drives out to the highway. In the final scenes of the video Ami gets off the motorbike and contemplates the sunrise of the morning after, as she sings the final parts of the song.
The 'Dance Clip' version of the video included in the DVD of the Around The World album features only the scenes of the showcase of Ami along with the dancers.
