Details[]
According to the composer NARASAKI, the song theme is about "around the world". The lyrics tell about a journey to find one's dream, as reflected by various folk musics in the world, such as from China, France, Carribean Steelpan, Indian, a bit of Scotland music and India folk songs, and finally arrived in Japan. Momoiro Clover's initial theme is traditional Japanese music, so the final place is supposed to be Japan and in the end those feelings were spread into the entire universe, hence the phrase Tenka tori ni ikuze (seize the world).[1]
The single was announced in a press conference event titled King Record e no Yomeiri (Marriage to King Record) along with their new major label transfer announcement from Universal J to Starchild Records on August 23, 2010 in Mejiro St. Catherine Church, Tokyo.[2] The promotional tour concerts is held started for September 19 titled Momoiro Clover Second Debut Tour Aki no Jin ~Tenka wo Tori ni Ikuzeee!!~ that consist of 28 performances in different CD shops.[3]. The final performance of this tour is a free live concerts which held on the streets of Yoyogi Kouen as a commemorative since their first live events on 2008 at the same place.[4]
The theme of the tour is related to the happening of idol groups at that time which is referred as "Warring States of Idols" by the media. The tour is themed "world unification pilgrimage" or to seize the world, that also stated in the lyrics in Pinky Jones (天下を取りに行くぜぃ, Tenka tori ni ikuze).[5]
The members dressed as warlords in Sengoku Era (the warring period) in the launching event that held in Ikebukuro Sunshine on November 16, 2010 titled Idol Okehazama Ikebukuro no Kin ~Iza Sunshine~. In an announcement of the event in USTREAM, Akira Kawakami address the fans as "mononofu" (武士, lit.Warriors or Samurai) that needed to gather for the war preparation. Hence fans of Momoiro Clover began to call themselves as "Mononofu" since then.
The five person version of Pinky Jones is included in the Battle and Romance album as the 5th track.

Trivia[]
- As the ending theme song for Yosuga no Sora anime series, the lyrics contains the phrase "Yosuga wo tayori ni shite" (count on Yosuga). Yosuga can also be translated as relations and it's written in the lyrics in katakana.
- The lyrics of "Pinky Jones" contain words that mention the name of the members albeit written with different letters and homophones and sung by the said member, that serves as a double meaning pun. In the live concert, the names are also being chanted by the fans:
- In the first verse, some of the lyrics are referencing to the member that sung the lines:
- Ayaka: Kawaii dake ja monotannai nai (Just being cute isn't enough): A reference to her cutesy-loving personality.
- Akari: Ura no ichimen mi ni tsukechatte (Have a hidden side to yourself): A reference to her cool inner personality.
- Kanako: Sakadachi juunan nandemo oorai (Do a handstand, be flexible, and everything's alright): A reference to her gymnastic abilities.
- Reni: Mugen kushami HAKUSHON KYARARARARA No.1 (Infinite sneezing, achoo! Kyalalalala, number 1): A reference to her specialty to do an infinite sneezing (often became her joke in TV shows).
- This is the first single to be released under the Starchild Records label.
- This is the only single where all of the versions of the CD has the same tracklist and all three songs received music videos.
- The song title is believed to be derived from the movie Indiana Jones, as the lyrics is telling about an adventure.
- The native indian feather headdress that Kanako wears in the promotional was bought directly from the United States, and it's priced ¥1000000.
- The headdress had to be shortened in size to stop it for blocking other people from the camera in the TV show Idol-chin.
- The music video for Pinky Jones has a skit in the beginning, thus making it their first video to have the two version: the short version and the long version with skit.
