Background

Initially, the song "Umikaze Tsushin" was the candidate for their debut song,[4] but producer Koichi Fujita did not want the song to be used as the debut, saying "It's not too bad, but could you write another song? I'd like it to have a more melodic melody and crying." The song was created after.[5]

One month before the release of the single, Kiyotaka Sugiyama performed the song at the 12th Tokyo Music Festival, held at the Nippon Budokan on March 27, 1983. He then appeared on the Tokyo Broadcasting System program Apple City 500, promoting the song. The song was first shown at the TBS TV program "The Best Ten" on August 4, 1983, then on the Nippon TV program "The Top Ten" on July 11, 1983. The single ranked in the top 10's on both programs.

The single was included in their debut album Aqua City, which released on September 21, 1983. It was included in the albums Single's History and was planned to also be included on the album Kamasami Kong DJ Special until the project was scrapped. Kiyotaka Sugiyama covered the song on his albums Hula Moon Sessions and I Am Me.
