The single peaked at No. 29 on the Oricon weekly charts,[3] and reached a ranking of No. 3 on iTunes' Japanese download rankings.[2]

In 2017, KIHOW joined the band after being discovered by Tom-H@ck. Having lived overseas in the past, she is capable of singing in both English and Japanese. Able to freely transform her singing style, her voice is known as the "rainbow-colored voice".[11]
