"Cha Cha Sing" (stylized as "cha cha SING") is the 29th single by the Japanese female idol group Berryz Kobo, released in Japan on July 25, 2012.

Background

The single was released in four versions: Limited Edition A, Limited Edition B, Limited Edition C, and Regular Edition. Each edition has a different cover. All the limited editions were shipped sealed and included a serial-numbered entry card for the lottery to win a ticket to one of the single's launch events. The limited editions A and B included a bonus DVD: Limited Edition A DVD contained the "Cha Cha Sing (Dance Shot Ver.)" music video, Limited Edition B — "Cha Cha Sing (Close-up Berry Kobo Ver.)".

The title track "Cha Cha Sing" is a cover of the song "Row Mah Sing" (Thai: เรามาซิง; RTGS: Rao Ma Sing) by popular Thai singer Bird Thongchai,[2] and the first B-side "Loving You Too Much" is also a cover of a song by him, titled "Too Much So Much Very Much". Both were translated into Japanese.[3] One version of the "Cha Cha Sing" music video depicts a flash mob, which was held in Venus Fort.[4] "Momochi! Yurushite-nyan Taisō" is Momoko Tsugunaga's first solo song.[4] Prior to the release of the CD single, the music video was distributed exclusively on RecoChoku since July 15.[5] It debuted in the first place in the RecoChoku Video Clip Daily Ranking[6]
