Singles
To promote the album, two singles were released: "Puzzle/Revive" and "Beautiful". On the Oricon single chart "Puzzle/Revive" entered the top 3, becoming Kuraki's first single since "Ashita e Kakeru Hashi" (明日へ架ける橋, "Bridge to Tomorrow") in 2004 to do so. "Puzzle" was the ending theme song for the thirteenth Detective Conan movie Detective Conan: The Raven Chaser. Unlike "Puzzle", "Revive" was not on the album. "Beautiful" was used as the image song for the cosmetic company Kose's Coseport Salon Style. The single ranked higher than "Puzzle/Revive" debuting at #2, which extended Kuraki's record as the only female solo artist to have all 32 of her singles in the Top 10 since her debut.
