The song's music video, featuring Yamaguchi dancing simultaneously with mannequins connected to him by metal bars was well received by critics, winning the 2012 Space Shower Music Video Awards award for the Best Video of the Year. The song was a commercial success, being certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for 100,000 paid downloads.
