Music video

The music video was filmed in Tokyo, but clever editing is used to suggest it was held at the Las Vegas Club, with Moritaka playing a Rickenbacker electric guitar alongside a group of non-Japanese male and females strumming guitars and a saxophonist on stage. During the time, she only started playing the electric guitar and would not master it until her sixth studio album Rock Alive in 1992.[2][3]
