Appare Kaiten Zushi! (あっぱれ回転ずし!; Bravo Kaiten Sushi!) is the debut single of Muten Musume, an all-member unit from Morning Musume. Appare Kaiten Zushi! 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.
