The music video was filmed at the Las Vegas Club, with Moritaka playing a Rickenbacker electric guitar alongside a group of American guitarists and a saxophonist on stage. During the time, she only started playing the electric guitar and would not master it until her sixth studio album Rock Alive in 1992.[2][3]
"Daite" peaked at No. 8 on Oricon's singles chart and sold 57,000 copies.[4][5]
The album version of "Daite", from the 1989 album Hijitsuryokuha Sengen, is arranged with a slower tempo and less instruments.
