Promotion
"Green," the second a-side from the first single, was used to promote Panasonic's Lumix FX-37 in 2008. The title track, "Next Level," was used in Panasonic's Lumix FX-40 commercial in 2009 while "Rule," from the album's second single, is the international theme song for the film Dragonball Evolution.　Additionally, "Sparkle" is used in advertisements for the Honda Zest Spark.
At a price of 6,800 yen, the USB version is said to be a bargain, as typical USB drives typically sell for much less. The USB will be packaged in a case the same size as a normal CD case, making it easy to display in stores. Oricon will apparently include the USB drive version in its sales tracking. Hamasaki explained, "As the way we listen to music changes from day to day, I looked at things from the listener's perspective and decided to sell it this way."

Famous quotes containing the word promotion:
“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“Parents can fail to cheer your successes as wildly as you expected, pointing out that you are sharing your Nobel Prize with a couple of other people, or that your Oscar was for supporting actress, not really for a starring role. More subtly, they can cheer your successes too wildly, forcing you into the awkward realization that your achievement of merely graduating or getting the promotion did not warrant the fireworks and brass band.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
