The single debuted atop the weekly Oricon Singles Chart, selling 667,615 copies in its first week.[3]
The song was announced in October 2018, and was performed live for the first time the following month.[4]
The song features a self-composed rap by Sho Sakurai,[1] who called it "an unusual single for Arashi. It is a rough and manly piece of music...I wrote the song while thinking about all the players who will be fighting hard, like when they're in a scrum".[4]
The song sold 667,615 copies in the first week, reaching number one on the Oricon weekly albums chart. It is also Arashi's first number-one single on the combined singles chart, which was established in 2019.
