It marks the 10th annual anniversary of the group, and was released in Japan on March 9, 2016.[1] It sold 1,133,179 copies on release day, topping the weekly sales of the previous single. This makes it the 30th single to reach 1st place in the Oricon Single Charts, and the 24th single to sell over a million copies in a week.[2] It is the last single featuring founding members Sae Miyazawa and Minami Takahashi.

Trivia

The music video of the title song is directed by Mika Ninagawa, who worked previously on "Heavy Rotation", "Sayonara Crawl" and "Sugar Rush". It was first performed live on January 24, on the last day of AKB48 Group Request Hour 2016, and its first TV performance was broadcast on February 22, on Music Japan. The title track is performed by a group of 21 active members, supported by four former members (Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, Mariko Shinoda, Tomomi Itano), and centered (choreography center) by Sakura Miyawaki.

This single also marked the final appearance of two popular members, general manager Minami Takahashi and SKE48 Team S leader Sae Miyazawa. Both left the AKB48 Group shortly after this release, after having appeared in the promoting line up of 41 and 33 AKB48 singles, respectively.
