When the single was released in Japan, Pink Lady was residing in the U.S. for the shooting of Pink Lady & Jeff, and thus had not the time to properly promote the record. It was performed on only one Japanese TV show. Unlike their previous records, they did not have any synchronized choreography for their performance.
The song sold 200,000 copies.[2]

gollark: Wait, I have a cool idea. It's really easy to read the relevant data out if the words to find are horizontal, so all I need to do is render the input to an image, rotate it sixty degrees, OCR it, scan the words again, and repeat five times!
gollark: But what if I want to process bees instead?
