Prior to this singles release, on January 17, 1999, Fukuda shocked viewers of the television show Asayan with her decision to "graduate" from Morning Musume and continue with her studies.
"Never Forget", one of the coupling tracks on the single, is often traditionally sung by band members at their graduation concerts and/or final TV appearances with the group, prior to embarking on solo careers or new groups.
