Critical ResponseEdit

Hotexpress's Tetsuo Hiraga noted that when watching the music video for the first time he felt that the song was a declaration of war against other idol groups, namely the current leader of the idol scene, AKB48. When listening to the song, he stated that a characteristic for Tsunku is a mix of disco and pop, and the reviewer was really impressed by how much talent Hello! Project has, each girl having her distinctive voice, look, and manner of expression.

TriviaEdit

• In the Close-Up scenes, all major group leaders, Berryz Koubou's Captain (Shimizu Saki), and Mano Erina were noted to make a "funny" face, while everyone else just smiled.
• This was the highest selling Hello! Project single in 2011.
