The single was debuted and announced on May 17, 2011 in a Starchild Records convention titled Spark! The song was produced by Kenichi Maeyamada who had written for Momoiro Clover trademark songs such as Ikuze! Kaitou Shoujo and Koko Natsu. The shout "Zetto!" was performed by the "big brother of the anime song genre" Ichiro Mizuki. The male voice narrating the song is the renowned anime and tokusatsu series narrator Fumihiko Tachiki. The stunning music and gymnastic dance formations were described as shocking and attracted a lot of attention.[1]
The song is their new introduction song after their name change into Momoiro Clover Z and their first song in the Z era. Lyrically, the song is about their self-introduction, describes their personality and what will they do. Momoka Ariyasu commented that "this is one weird song, but this will become our next theme song. This song is really uplifting.[2] The song was also made under the theme of "Hang in there" in a Momoclo-way, following the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.[3]
The music video was published on June 3, 2011 in their youtube channel. In the music video all members are wearing costumes in the style of sentai heroes, complete with helmets, scarfs, and transformation belts.[4] The girls use transformation belts to become helmeted fighters looking like sentai warriors and as the Weekend Heroines, squadron fights fully armed with a song and a dance.[4]
The song is used as the commercial song for Tokyo Joypolis amusement park in 2011, and became their first song to be used as a CM song.[5]

Trivia[]
A reference to Akari Hayami
- The lyrics give some references to the group:
- The narration line in the beginning "After overcoming numerous hardships, Momoiro Clover is now down to 5 girls" is a reference to their hardships before gaining the name "Z", such as street live acts, national tours, going major, switching label, and Akari Hayami resignation.
- The "Episode 4" in the narration is a reference to this single being their 4th single.
- Kanako and Shiori lines are taken directly from their self-introduction.
- Ahrin's line features the symbol ☆, the usual symbol that always concludes her blog titles, and her epithet "Momoclo's Idol".
- Momoka's line is a reference to her being the shortest member yet has an unrivaled skill in singing and dancing.
- Reni's line (pipoo pupoo pappo) is the weird one out and she complained that as well.[2] The "Biribiri Kanden" line is a reference to her epithet "Kanden Shoujo". Interestingly, her complain of the weird lyrics has been included in the lyrics of Jimusho ni Motto Osaretai that was released about a year later.
- The narration "The second verse is starting!" most likely a nod to their second verse announcement line in Ikuze! Kaitou Shoujo.
- In the second verse the announcer shouts out "Blue!" (the color of Akari Hayami), in response, the girls freeze in shock and the song stops for a split second. Further reference is given in the choreography where the girls place their fingers on their eyebrows. (eyebrows are the charm points of Akari).
- The music video is a reminiscent of sentai films and several old sentai tropes including flashy belt transformation sequence, secret lair and the yellow is showing eating curry rice (trademark food for yellow member in Super Sentai).
- This is where their second mascot Bearda and the gas-shooting helmet worn by Kanako debuted.
- The tune in the chorus can be heard in Overture.
- The single along with D' no Junjou are priced at 500 Yen and described as "the single coin" price. The cheap price is due the fact it only includes a song, with no karaoke track and only released as regular version.
- This is the only single cover where the Momoiro Clover Z logo is red with a gold Z.
