We're becoming memories

Your nearby warmth is no longer granted to me

My painful sighs suddenly overflowed

and whirled up faraway in the distance to reach you

Music video

The promotional video for "Sotsugyou: Sayonara wa Ashita no Tameni" was shot in an unknown location by director Akie Hayashi. This PV showcases Tackey and Tsubasa singing in a small clearing, densely surrounded by bushes and vines. During the second chorus, the scene switches to the two standing up with a cloudy sky behind them. Also seen in the PV is a cage that, depending on the scene, either has two doves in it, or is empty. Once the instrumental is over, and the chorus is sung again, the two are seen standing up in the bush and vine area, only this time with sakura petals flying around them.
