The song is notable for having two choruses sung entirely in Japanese, and it was released as a single exclusively in Japan,[2][3] reaching #49 on the charts.[1] (The B-side was "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy".[3]) This song features a plastic piano and harmonium, both of which are played by May.[3] They brought in a local choir to sing the chorus at the end.[citation needed] On the album, the song is crossfaded to a one-minute instrumental featuring a Shepard tone melody, which is actually a reprise of the beginning of the album.[3]
