A present campaign limited to Japan will be open until May 6, 2018:
Fans must follow the official Kobushi Factory Twitter account @kobushifac_uf.

Staff will then select 20 people to win a "Ashita e Habatake! Kiraboshi" (明日へ羽ばたけ!綺羅星; Flying Towards Tomorrow! Glittering Stars) keychain.[16]
The "Ashita Tenki ni Naare" music video features the group on the set of a fictional western talk show called Kobushi Show with Kobushi Factory, whose title card and window backdrop of a landmark bridge (which in this case is the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo, instead of the Manhattan Bridge in New York City) are based on the Late Show with David Letterman. The uncredited host mentions "There's been a lot of depressing news lately, but tonight's guests are guaranteed to blast those blues away!" which is likely a reference to the group making a strong comeback after losing three members in 2017.
Kurt KC Common, who narrates the English weather report during the song break of "Ashita Tenki ni Naare", is a radio personality, a narrator for NHK WORLD, and an English announcer for Tokyo Disneyland.[17]
The "Kore Kara da!" music video was filmed at Tachikawa Sozosha, a former elementary school in Tachikawa, Tokyo. Similarly, the Greeting ~Fujii Rio・Ogawa Rena~ DVD was also filmed at this location.
"Ashita Tenki ni Naare" is the eighth Kobushi Factory's music video to reach 1,000,000 views on YouTube. It is also the first one for the five member line-up to reach that goal.
