Originally sung by WANDS , Motto Tsuyoku Dakishimetanara is the only song in Deing to have a PV made

Sports Hochi wrote that Motto Tsuyoku Dakishimetanara is 1 of DAIGO's favourite songs that he loved singing when he was in junior high school

And the PV where DAIGO shot his rendition of WANDS's Motto Tsuyoku Dakishimetanara is the same venue where WANDS originally shot the PV back in 1992 at ie. in a park in Chiba :
