Information

On her first day of recording, Hamasaki's grandmother passed away (and is the reason Hamasaki now dislikes the song). After hearing the recording, Hamasaki was displeased with the lyrics and re-wrote them. Her first draft of the song has yet to be released. The single reached #20 on the Oricon charts, charted for six weeks and sold a total of 43,140 copies.

The single was re-released in 2001 on a 12cm format with extra remix songs. This time around the single reached #31 and charted for two weeks.
