InterviewsEdit
Tsunku’s comments about the single:[1]
«It is [their] 5th single and also a classic dance track. Shinichiro Murakami, a renowned disco arranger, created the sound which was a mixture of 70’s sound and the latest 1999’s rhythm. We were trying to create a fresh yet nostalgic sound. RuRu’s unique arrangement was awesome, and the members were able to put their feelings into the song, as opposed to simply singing the song beautifully. I never expected them to grow so much so fast within just a half year.»
The members were interviewed on how to sing this song perfect at karaoke.[2]
This is what they had to say: All: It’s a song we want everyone to sing together at karaoke. If you put all your body into creating the sound, you’ll be able to sing in a way that feels great.
