With 5,700 units sold, it debuted at #60 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart and later peaked at #18, becoming Ua's first top 20 entry.[1] In 2005, urban singer-songwriter Miliyah Katō sampled "Jōnetsu" in her song of the same name.[2] The song was also covered in a Mandarin Chinese version (Retitled "WuWuLaLaLa") by C-pop singer Coco Lee on her 1998 album, Sunny Day.
