Ako released a music video for "Borderline" from her 1st Album "GENE" released  on Ako's official YouTube channel.   The song was produced by adding a lower voice with a different singing style in addition to Ako's characteristic whisper voice. This makes the song one that expresses more realistic feelings of wavering between the boundaries of love.   The music video was produced by Taiwanese artist Nin. The video features a character that resembles a "Ako" and draws on the differences between lovers, creating a worldview that matches the song.
