Commercial endorsements

"Koi no Cute Beat" was featured as the ending theme to the variety program, Kuizu Sekai wa Show by Shobbai!! and "Mister U.S.A." was used in a commercial for Lotte cereal ice. The group showed in the commercials in what was their first major endorsement deal. They would go on to do subsequent commercials for the company.

Music videos

Although fans had copies of the music videos for the groups final three singles, the existence of music videos for the groups earliest singles were unquestionable until a low quality digital rip of "Mister U.S.A." surfaced on the internet from a Japanese website serving video files related to the group, MAX.

The music video appears to have been shot almost entirely in bluescreen except for one scene where the group performs a dance routine together. The remaining scenes of the video portrays the members of the group around the world in such locations as China and Egypt.
