The members were chosen from their placements in the AKB48's 2012 general election. The single was released in Japan on August 29, 2012. It includes the graduation song for long-time headlining member Atsuko Maeda.

2012 general election

On March 26, 2012, AKB48 announced it would be holding an election to determine the lineup for its 27th major single. The field of candidates consisted of 243 members from AKB48, SKE48, NMB48, and HKT48, and the ballots were available in the group's 26th single, "Manatsu no Sounds Good!" The election results were announced on June 6 at Nippon Budokan and results were broadcast live on TV for the first time. Yuko Oshima came first, followed by Mayu Watanabe and Yuki Kashiwagi.

This is the first single without Atsuko Maeda in the main lineup (excluding rock-paper-scissors singles) as she did not participate as a candidate in the election, and graduated from the group two days before the single's release. This is the second time Yuko Oshima became AKB48's center since "Heavy Rotation". This is also the last senbatsu participation for long-time AKB48 member Tomomi Kasai.

Promotion and release

The single was released in three versions: Type A, Type B and Theater Edition.

Music video

The video is directed by Joseph Kahn. and features actors Hideo Ishiguro (Kamen Rider Den-O), Kouhei Takeda (Hana Kimi, Kamen Rider Kiva), Dori Sakurada (Kamen Rider New Den-O) and Akira Nakao. Yuko Oshima and Mayu Watanabe appeared in the video in two teams of black (Oshima's) and red (Watanabe's). Atsuko Maeda also makes an appearance in the video.

The video consists of three story-lines that parody films: terrorists invade a police department, a schoolgirl explores a haunted hospital and a Golza from Ultraman Tiga attacks a city. It features a battle between the Motorgirls and the Car Devils.
