Music videos

Three music videos were made for the mini-album, and were released on a limited edition of their debut single "To Be, To Be, Ten Made to Be". They include the songs True Heart, Ki・Se・Ki, and Get Down, with each video being connected with one another.

Ki·Se·Ki

The PV starts out with Tackey holding a pocket watch while sitting in a dark and dreary room. During the chorus, Tackey can be seen in a different room, though just as dreary and dark as the first room, laying on a bed, and gazing at the same pocket watch. During the second verse, the scene changes to Tackey talking and laughing while eating at a table. The scene zooms out to reveal that he's in fact talking to no one. Scenes switch once again to show Tsubasa in a field with trees around him, holding the same pocket watch Tackey had in his hands. Switching back to the room with the bed, Tackey is seen in a small area with water, and it mysteriously begins to rain only in that area. Scenes being to change at a rapid pace, the pocket watch gets dropped in the water, Tackey is seen in the field with Tsubasa behind him, and Tackey starts to throw around the water in the pool while being rained on. Finally, Tackey stands in the pool of water, sunlight filtering from a window dries him off, and he walks out of the room.
