Suki! Skip!.
Compared to the previous album, Yui Kamishina, Mai Fuchigami, and Heki Yui Motomura, as well as Aika Tada, Meiru Tajima, Natsumi Matsuoka, and Madoka Moriyasu, who had been selected in all singles since their 1st single, Miku Tanaka, and Miku Yabu, who had been selected in all singles since they joined the group, were selected in all singles since their graduation. (This was the last single before her graduation from the group.) Meiru Tajima, Natsumi Matsuoka, Madoka Moriyasu, Miku Tanaka, and Nako Yabuki, who had been selected for every single since she joined the group, were not selected.[7]
In the above-mentioned program, it was also announced that the song would be used as the opening theme song for the TV anime "Kamiwaza Wanda" (TBS) HKT48's previous anime theme song was "Katashii no Karaage" ("One Love's Karaage"), which was used as the ending theme for "My Little Pony - Tomodachi wa Mahou" (TV Tokyo). (TV Tokyo), and "Katashii no Karaage" (under the name "Amakuchi Hime," "Suki! Suki!

This is the first time for Sashihara to play the center in the name of HKT48, although she has played the center of the title song of a single before.[9] The reason why Sashihara was chosen as the center for this song was due to the fact that it was the theme song of an anime for children, and the intention was that it would be better for Sashihara, who is well known, to take the center role.[8]
