[edit] Music Video
The Mirror Ball music video depicts the band performing their song in a mostly black room. A lot of the scenes are in slow motion and there is a water effect, with inches of water covering the floor, dripping from the ceiling, and splashing onto each member's instruments. In the background is a disco ball which is gold when the band is performing in a circle around it and changes to silver as they perform in front of it in the water.
The Eraser -Memoire d'une Fleur- music video has the band fully dressed in white, performing the song in some scenes while others have a single member of the band lying down, standing up, or sitting down on a flower bed. The music video shows some focus on singer Shou, who acts as a jaded prisoner with gray colored hair, who resembles Death Note characters L and Near. As a prisoner, he watches a television on which the band performs, along with scenes of flowers and skylines.
