Music video[edit]

The official video for "Mighty Long Fall" uses the Japanese version of the song, released at the same day as the single. It was filmed in Tokyo[7] and directed by Ryohei Shingu,[8] featuring the band performing the track in a large hall. On the other hand, there were several masked men beating drums. Each blow cracks the floor of the building, and some people are seen falling into the dark abyss. Towards the end of the video, the floor of the building collapses, leaving a place where the band plays music.

The music video for "Decision" also uses the Japanese version of the song, released on August 20, 2014. It contains a compilation footage from their Who Are You?? Who Are We?? tour in Europe and Asia which also featured in Fool Cool Rock! Documentary Film directed by Hiroyuki Nakano.[9]
