Background
Kamonegikkusu means "Kamo ga negi wo shotte kuru" (lit. a duck comes carrying a Welsh onion on its back) is a Japanese proverb that means a stroke of luck occurs, and things become more and more convenient. According to NMB48 member Sayaka Yamamoto, "The title was a coined word by Yasushi Akimoto". It is a song about a girl who despite being a convenience just like Kamonegi, does not learn from her mistakes and falls in love."
Due to restrictions from Avex Trax, full version MV from main track is included only in limited editions, and wasn't released on YouTube. Instead, an alternative dance version with an entire song was released.
Release
The single was released in four versions: Type-A, Type-B, Type-C and Theater Edition.
