Before the debut, fans were in an uproar with comments such as “This song is interesting!” “I can’t get it out of my head!” and “I want my kids to dance to it!” On the day of the single’s debut, the group performed on Music Station along with Nakai Masahiro.

Translator's comments:
Tbh when I first heard the song and saw the video I thought it was the dumbest thing ever. But the song kind of grew on me and even know it is stuck in my head. I thought the Music Station performance was pretty funny with Nakai in his nerdy get up. Overall it's cool to see these four doing their own thing. I wonder how they will hold up in the weekly rankings.
Btw I took these comments not from 2ch itself but from a site that gathers 2ch comments in an easier to read format. Reading the actual site is a pain for me.
