Trivia[]
- The first press came with an event ticket and a sticker.
- Tsunku’s comments about this single: "I made this song with a minor key, in order to make it sound more powerful. Nowadays, they say women are becoming stronger and more confident. A female character in this song is a typical modern girl like that on the surface, but she’s actually lonesome deep down inside. She is pretending as if she’s letting her boyfriend become her little boy toy, but actually, she’s the one who’s feeling spoiled when she’s around him. Shibata is celebrating a Coming of Age Day next year, and the whole Melon Kinenbi sang the song with more matured sexy mood."
