Promotion

The music video was filmed by the same director filmed "Seifuku ga Jama o Suru", although the theme is totally different. All 46 members of AKB48 participated in the video clip, filmed in Onjuku, Chiba and Makuhari Messe.[2]

Each "Shokai Genteiban" (初回限定版, The first edition) CD also includes 2 DVDs, one is video clip and the other is "Making of "Bingo!".[3]

Sony Music offered high resolution closeup portraits of the 18 Senbatsu members as wallpaper downloads on their website for the limited duration of 36 hours after the song’s release.[2]

Reception

Since many "Aitakatta" limited editions remained unsold, the Seifuku ga Jama wo Suru limited sets were produced in a smaller quantity, making it one of the rarer to find releases.[2] The single charted 5 weeks in the top 200 with the highest rank at #6, then-highest ever record for AKB48.[4] "Bingo!" sold 25,611 copies.

gollark: WAV is just PCM with some kind of header.
gollark: See, there's a real lack of annoying beep generation software out there. When I wanted to generate annoying beeps aka some sine waves for a project, I had to cobble together a Python script to inefficiently generate WAV files.
gollark: Anyway, I have several never-to-be-finished-or-probably-worked on new project ideas:- a simple search engine for osmarks.tk- annoying beep generator in the browser supporting custom frequencies and whatnot- a textual SVG editor thing in which you write code/templates which write SVG
gollark: I'm sure they are.
gollark: Oh, okay then.
