History
The single was released both as a normal edition CD (catalogue number EPCE-5494), and a limited edition CD + DVD set (catalogue numbers EPCE-5492-3) with an alternative cover. The Single V (EPBE-5262) was released on the same day, featuring two versions of the music video and "making of" footage. The song was used in a tie-up with Cirque du Soleil as the "Dralion Daihatsu" image song for its Japanese tour. The group were later referred to as one of many "supporters" of Dralion. Its highest position on the Oricon weekly chart was #10, remaining on the chart for three weeks.
The single was originally scheduled for release on August 22, but was moved to September 12 due to production issues. However, some stores still released the normal version of the single by mistake on August 22, especially over the internet. The error was not corrected until many copies had already been sold. In the original release, there are typographical errors in the names and home-towns of the group's members. In the later releases, however, these have been corrected.
