The EP was only sold at promotional events. It only consisted of three previously released songs, but carried a new version for the music video of "Brave", which was originally on her Japonesque album.[3]

Music videos

For the DVD, an alternate version of "Brave" was utilized, which was only featured in the Pachinko game.[4] The music video told the story of a mermaid, who fell in love with a human. Given a potion by a witch, she lives different lives with the man she fell in love with. The lives include an assassin who takes revenge on the ones who injured her lover, a genie who saves him from a possible execution and a fairy who meets him underneath the glow of moonlight.

During the gameplay, each song had differing videos:

  • "Lady Go!" was an animated dance with an animated Koda Kumi and back-up dancers.
  • "Butterfly" showed live footage of her during Dream Music Park concert.

gollark: How would we generate RFTools power?
gollark: Indeed. I only use it because I like doing browsery stuff but can't really get away from using JS-y stuff without 10MB of JS build output.
