Appare Kaitenzushi! (あっぱれ回転ずし!; Bravo Conveyor Belt Sushi!) is the debut single of Muten Musume, an all-member unit from Morning Musume. Appare Kaitenzushi! is used to promote Sushi culture around the world and the promotion of a sushi chain in Kansai. This was released in two different CD only versions, with the limited edition coming with a 24-page photo booklet.
The single was part of a promotion campaign for the Muten Kura Sushi shop. There were editions only available for purchase through the Kura Sushi shops limited to 3,000 copies each. At first only one version was available at shops (sold as early as October 8, 2010) but it sold out quickly, so they made another 3,000 copies with a different cover available October 29 through November 4, 2010. Both of these limited editions came with trading cards of the members (both in real and animated form) not available anywhere else.

Trivia[]
- From October 27 to December 16, 2010, all Kura Sushi stores offered a discount to customers who presented the CD's obi.
- While Kura Sushi Bikkurapon! was included on Morning Musume '14 Coupling Collection 2, Appare Kaitenzushi! itself has not been featured on any Morning Musume compilation albums (however, it was featured on Petit Best 11). Chronologically, it should be on Best! Morning Musume 20th Anniversary.
- The name くら寿司 is actually read as Kurazushi in Japanese, but their English name is officially Kura Sushi.
