The single contains "Moon Crying," the theme for the TV Asahi drama "Puzzle," "That Ain't Cool" featuring The Black Eyed Peas vocalist and singer Fergie, "Once Again," a song composed and produced by reggae artist Pushim, and "Lady Go!," a song that had been used for commercial advertisements by Visee Kosee, a cosmetic company, to promote the new product "Glamorous Hunter."
