Ranking.[10]

"XYZ" was composed for the TV commercial of the Chiba leg of the 2017 Red Bull Air Race World Championship.[11] "Long Run" was used as the official song of the 2017 Hokkaido Marathon.[12] Also, "Supernova Express 2017" is a new version of the previously released song "Supernova Express 2016", which was used as the image song of Hokkaido Railway Company's Hokkaido Shinkansen.[13]
