==Music video==
The music video for "Loop & Loop" was co-directed by Kazuyoshi Oku and [[Masafumi Gotoh]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.spaceshowertv.com/search/artist.cgi?ac=010577&ch=0|title=SPACE SHOWER Music Video Search|publisher=[[Space Shower TV|SPACE SHOWER TV]]|accessdate=November 7, 2008|language=ja}}</ref> The PV takes place within a classroom populated by four young boys. Over the course of the video, the students ride bikes, play jumprope, and pretend to be a band using brooms for guitars. All the while, they listen to headphones and [[lip-sync]] the lyrics to the song. In ''Eizō Sakuhinshū Vol. 1'', it showed the boy at the beginning listening to CD called Romance (''ロマンス'') by Takamitsu Shibuyama (渋山貴光) ([[Takahiro Yamada (musician)|Takahiro Yamada]]'s pseudonym) and at the end, it change with Loop & Loop's cover. However, they cut the both scenes in their official Youtube.
