Details

  • The song was used as the ending theme of "Love Change," a popular television show in Nagoya, for the month of April.[3]
  • This is the last single to join the fourth generation Hitomi Yoshizawa (in June, Miki Fujimoto withdrew, so in fact became the last single Fujimoto). It is a single released after Junjun and Linlin join announcement, but did not participate in this work, and participated from the next single "Onna ni Sachi are".
  • The main works are Hitomi Yoshizawa, Ai Takahashi, and Miki Fujimoto, and they are also in charge of the previous work "Egao YES Nude" (previous work is also Risa Niigaki). Both A and Melo are mainly Fujimoto and Takahashi, but in the big chorus there is a solo part by Yoshizawa.
  • During the PV shoot, Koharu Kusumi had appendicitis, so we didn't participate when shooting everyone, and later went to shoot with the surrounding members.
  • According to the Oricon chart on May 7, 2007, total sales of the singles since its debut reached 110.85 million copies, exceeding Pink Lady's 11.37 million copies, making it the number one female group in history. Moreover, the initial sales exceeded 50,000 copies since 2005's "Iroppoi jirettai".
