* For those whose supporting the group since their formative years, watching the MV of "Sustainable" certainly count. The MV itself despite being set on a summer day has RevisitingTheRoots concept in which the major points of the group journey echoed in the MV through showing the places that involved in past singles or similar scenes. Jurina's expression in the closing scene when she opens the time capsule gives a strong impression of about the current condition of the group after many prominent members are graduated and the aftermath of Maho Yamaguchi's scandal that affected the group massively.

** In similar veins, the video and the lyrics of "Seifuku ga Jama o Suru" is both tear jerking and disturbing. The lyrics itself deals with CompensatedDating coupled with the TV ads adding "Otousan, gomennasai" [[note]]"Sorry, Dad"[[/note]] line and the video dark atmosphere makes the song highly controversial.

* In their early days, the girls had to give flyers to everyone outside the theatre as a promotion. Minami Takahashi once recalls that one person dumps the flyers into thrash bin near when Takamina are ''nearby''.

** In general, the graduation of the original Kami 7 could be considered as this. Since they are arguably the most revered members coupled with them are there since the group formations. Mayu Watanabe graduation especcially hits hard since she is the last to graduate AND just three years later she is retired from entertainment industry altogether.

* The MV of 'Mata Aeru hi Made' Minami Minegishi's graduation song depicts her lights 21 candles. Representing the 21 members of the 1st generation. The lyrics as well as Miichan struggles to hold her ters near the end of the video only makes the song more gut wrenching

* "Keibetsu Shiteita Aijō". Both the song itself and the video. Considering that it deals with the topics of bullying and suicide, it's hardly surprising.
