Berryz工房×℃-ute「超HAPPY SONG」

Around April 2012, it was discovered that if the tracks "Because happiness" and "Shiawase no Tochuu" from ℃-ute’s Dainana Shou "Utsukushikutte Gomen ne"” album are played at the same time they make a new song.
On April 17, 2012 Tsunku admitted that he did it on purpose and he was going to reveal it at the Hello! Project Summer concert tour anyway.
On April 27, 2012, Tsunku gave an official name to the song, "Chou HAPPY SONG".
