The first pressings of the regular editions came with a photo and an application card for tickets to a debut commemoration event, while all theater editions came with a handshake event ticket and a photo. The title track was used as a Samantha Thavasa TV commercial song.[citation needed] The second track of the theater edition, "Tsundere!", is from Team A's 5th stage. The original was sung by Itano, Rie Kitahara, and Amina Sato, while the "Dear J" version was sung by Itano and the members of the AKB48 unit Natto Angels Z.
