Overview

There are three editions. Limited edition A comes along with a bonus DVD, while limited edition B comes with another DVD. The catalog numbers of each limited edition copies are EPCE-5540 and EPCE-5542, respectively. The regular edition has a catalog number EPCE-5544.

With the original, Another ver., a Studio Dance Shot version, a Night Scene version, and a One-cut Dance version, it makes the most PVs ever released for one single^{[citation needed]}.
