Promotion
"Bingo!"'s video clip was filmed by the same director filmed "Seifuku ga Jama o Suru", although the theme is totally different. All 46 members of AKB48 participated in the video clip, filmed in Onjuku, Chiba and Makuhari Messe.
Each "Shokai Genteiban" (初回限定版, The first edition) CD also includes 2 DVDs, one is video clip and the other is "Making of "Bingo!".
Sony Music offered high resolution closeup portraits of the 18 Senbatsu members as wallpaper downloads on their website for the limited duration of 36 hours after the song’s release.
Reception
Since many "Aitakatta" limited editions remained unsold, the Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru limited sets were produced in a smaller quantity, making it one of the rarer to find releases. The single charted 5 weeks in the top 200 with the highest rank at #6, then-highest ever record for AKB48. "Bingo!" sold 25,611 copies.
