Overview

This single marks the debut of the "sixth generation" members Miki Fujimoto (who came from a Hello! Project solo career), Reina Tanaka, Eri Kamei and Sayumi Michishige. Once the sixth generation joined, it made it the group's biggest formation yet, with 15 members. Like "Do It! Now" and "As for One Day", "Shabondama" was used as an image song for Quidam, a Cirque du Soleil show.[2] It was released in two editlons, a regular and a limited editlon coming with fifteen photocards and comes in special packaging.
