Comment from Maeda Jun in the album:
I originally wrote this song for a different event, but after arranging and recording it, it became a big hit, which made me want to save it for the swimsuit event I had just finished writing. So I quickly prepared another song, and my wish was able to come true. I never imagined the chorus's alternating vocals would end up sounding so passionate and moving. The drums are especially wild in the last chorus, and when they sing "tada kimi dake" ("Only to you"), their voices sound so wistful. I've already prepared songs for the second album, but after listening to this song, I'm worried that another song that transforms to such a surprising extent won't be born again. I want to work hard to ensure that the second album is not inferior to the first.
