Since their debut in July of last year, this is their fourth consecutive single that has not been able to grab 1st place on the first week sales charts.

On May 12th, NMB48 also trailed Arashi on the daily chart, but their single sold a record 376,000 copies in the first week of release. It's been the first time in 10 years and 10 months that a single ranked 2nd (for the first week sales) sold more than 300,000 copies, after �GLAY�s �STAY TUNED�, which was released back in July of 2001.
