It was their final single before their seventh studio album, The Showcase, which was released the following year on June 8.[1] It charted well on the Oricon Singles Charts at #5 for the week, and remained on the charts for two consecutive weeks.[2]

The single was released in four editions, a standard CD, a limited edition CD and two limited edition CD+DVD combo packs.
