"Kiss U Mai (Kiss your mind)" was a commercial song of glico chewing gum "Watering kiss mint gum". This chewing gum commercial was based on the concept of "Member of Kis-My-Ft2 are good at kiss"[3] and featured the expressions of the members as they kissed.[4] In the music video, women wearing decorations that resemble lips dance, and flames appear to burst into flames when the members kiss.
"Sos (Smile on smile)" was also a commercial song for DHC Corporation "Medicated Acne Control Series" featuring Kis-My-Ft2.[5] The song is fast and refreshing, with roller skates as the trademark of Kis-My-Ft2, and the music video uses a conveyor belt for the production.[6]
