The choreography for Kiss Spirits's music video is all about rock and dance, and the dance challenge is the most difficult in the history of Kis-My-Ft2's music videos.[3] The choreography was done by Shit Kingz, a dance team that has won the "Body Rock Competition" held in California, US, two years in a row. Our legs got all scratchy" commented member Yuta Tamamori.[3]

The choreography is the most difficult in all of Kis-My-Ft2's works, so the members and staff kept filming the dance scenes until they were satisfied with the choreography, and danced over 40 times.[3] During the filming, Tamamori said, "We just had to get through it with the spirit of Kis-My-Ft2," and the dance scenes were completed to a high degree of perfection and spectacular quality.[3] The "Penguin Dance," named by the members, is the symbolic choreography of this music video. The name "Penguin Dance" was derived from the movement of the members' bodies swaying with their hands in the shape of penguins.[4]

The multi-angle music video, in which you can enjoy the dance scenes separately for each member, is included in this album.[5]
