In October 2003, ANGEL'S SONG was used in a Panasonic D-snap SV-AS10 ad. The version of the song for advertising is somewhat different in tone from the final recorded for the album. “Because of You” could be heard in an advertisement for a Panasonic Lumix FX5 camera, and “No way to say” in an advertisement for a Panasonic Dockin Style MD-MJ57 player. “Ourselves” was used in an advertisement for KOSE VISEE Sheer Gloss lipstick.
