Music Videos

Although the music videos for each song had been shown on television music networks, such as MTV Japan, this was the first time they were released to the public for purchase.

• Take Back: the initial debut video of Koda Kumiko, under the stage name "Koda Kumi."
• Trust Your Love: set in the arctic tundra.
• Color Of Soul: the video shows the many faces of people around the world.
• So Into You: set in Japan, hinting towards many taboos in Japanese culture.
• love across the ocean: set in a futuristic setting with Kumi being sent to earth.
• m•a•z•e: set in an airport with Kumi being evaluated by a psychologist. m•a•z•e was used as the theme song to the Japanese drama Psycho Doctor.^[4]
• real Emotion: set in the Final Fantasy world of Spira.

real Emotion became the first time an artist took part in creating a dance for a video game, with Kumi's dance being digitized into the game for the opening number.^[5] The music video showed aspects of creating the in-game video, with Kumi on the platform that would be used to track her movements, so as to layer them over the Yuna character.
