Background

At the time of the release, it had been three months since the previous single "Mizu no Naka no Answer" was released. Like with "Mizu no Naka no Answer," the single reached the #1 spot on the Oricon charts, and Siguyama was not allowed to be on Tokyo Broadcasting System's program "The Best Ten" due to his contract between VAP and Nippon TV.
