During the commercial breaks of the live broadcast, TV Asahi would list the sponsors while showing both aired and unaired(!) footage of the series. I've been looking for all the clips, but it's still a work in progress since the videos are quite hard to find. Here is what I have at the moment: https://imgur.com/a/Kz6PAmq (6 clips and some screenshots).

Same. And I’m glad I have our friendship as a souvenir! See you later in the WP! 

Hey! Does anyone know why secret touch isn't available on spotify? I love the song and I'm always reminded on the series when I listen to it, but I can't find it on spotify :(

As far as I know, Johnny's Ent. (Snow Man's company) doesn't release the songs of its artists on Spotify. It also uses MVs only as a way to present the songs to the public, so most of the time the MV versions are shorter than the actual songs. In Secret Touch's case, they skipped a couple of verses and the second chorus in all the YouTube MVs I've linked in the thread. You can listen to the full version of the song only in this performance (the additional verses start at 1:48) or in the album. 

Thank u so much this is incredible!! ^_^

Thanks! Can I ask how you can listen to it then (not video, but audio)? Is there a platform where international fans can stream the song or do you have to buy the album for it?

Yes, unfortunately Johnny's Ent. doesn't upload its songs on online streaming platforms, so you can only listen to Secret Touch in the physical album. You can buy the album on CDJapan or Yesasia. There are 3 versions (A, B and Regular Edition). 

Btw, thank you for asking! I've just realized that I should probably include this piece of information in the thread ><

Oh God! You're so helpful! It sucks that Johnny's doesn't allow streaming...like seriously? In the digital age? *eye roll* Their music would reach a much larger audience if they actually made it easy for people to listen to it! Anyway, thanks @Foreigner! Your threads are always so informative :)
