Trivia
The music video for "Ima Kono Toki wo", premiered on YouTube on July 15, 2023, features the actor Yamada Yuki.

Yamada Yuki plays the role of his past and present selves. Yamada, who has a father who is a professional baseball player, once tried to become a professional baseball player himself, but after giving up and being frustrated, "I decided to do the next thing until I die" and paved the way for becoming an actor. Although now he is busy as an actor, there are still moments when he hits a wall even in fulfilling days. The song of Little Glee Monster and his past self pushes him to live in the present, and the music video is filled with direct energy that makes you feel the preciousness of chasing your "dream" single-mindedly. In the video, a real actor's notebook that Yamada actually wrote when he was in the actor training school also appeared. Directed by Matsuoka Yoshika, it is a work where you can feel the life of the real actor, Yamada Yuki.
