Tsunku’s comments about the single:
"I wanted Melon Kinenbi to follow the similar image as Morning Musume for this one.
I created this song with the image of the summer holiday season. It is about a girl who met a boy at her part-time job and innocently fell in love with him.
I made the sound as cheerful and happy as possible. It is a song for the season when you feel like listening to some west coast music and feel very pleasant and free-spirited. The recording session wasn’t easy because they didn’t have enough experience back then. When I gave them a simple instruction like, “Okay, let’s feel the rhythm, everybody.” And they were completely off. So I was like, “Oh no, what am I going to do with these girls?!” But I noticed their vocal skill has dramatically improved when I saw them at Hello! Project’s concert on New Year’s Day, as well as Morning Musume’s tour. Wow, I was so surprised!!! Pleasantly surprised, of course!
I look forward to their continuing growth. [As for "Fuwa Fuwa Fuu"] I wrote a song for the different side of the girls, which is the natural comedic side! I wanted to create a song that expresses their gentle airiness. It sounds like it is about a sleeping girl’s dream, a real witch’s arrival, or a march of the girly toys. Those are the things I imagined while writing this song."
