"Monster" (モンスター, Monsutā) is Pink Lady's eighth single release, and their seventh number-one hit on the Oricon charts in Japan.[1] The single sold 1,600,000 copies, and was number one for eight weeks. It also peaked at number-one on the Japanese Music Labo chart.[2]
According to Oricon, this was the third best selling single from 1978.[3]
"Catch Lip", the B-side song, was used for commercials promoting Snow Brand's Hōseki-bako ice cream.[4]
The song was performed on Pink Lady and Jeff along with "UFO," making those two the only Pink Lady songs to be performed on the show.
A re-recorded version of the song was included on the 2-disc greatest hits release, INNOVATION released in December 2010.
