"Come With Me" was set at night during a party on a beach in Thailand. The speaking parts in the music video are subtitled in Japanese. The video shows Kumi partying under a cabana, along with scenes of her on the beach during the sunrise.

"Gentle Words" is a soft and sensual video, which shows Kumi longing for a loved one. Kumi donned a more mature look for the video, showing that of elegance. The ending was hinted to lead into her later video "Kiseki."

"Crazy 4 U" was set in Tokyo and carried an espionage theme, having Kumi in several incarnations. The main storyline was of an incarnation as a spy trying to track down a smuggler. Throughout the video, all of the incarnations manage to interact with each other, including a party girl who unwittingly got involved.

"Crazy 4 U" became the music video with the style Kumi would become most comfortable with throughout her career. It kick-started her ero-kawaii style, which would later become popular throughout Japan's high school community with her release of Butterfly.
