*Tsunku: "Romance wo Katatte would make you see stars when listening to its cute and romantic sounds. He added that "Towa no Uta" was written long before the mention of a hiatus had been brought up and expresses his heartfelt respect for the members of Berryz Koubou and 10-year history as a group."[8] |
