Title

edit

The Japanese title of the single is 76 characters long.[1] Due to the length of the title, its name was orally shortened to "Suzukake Nanchara" (鈴懸なんちゃら, "Plane Tree Something...") at the group's performance at the NHK Hall, aired on their weekly show on NHK[3] and in other instances to "Suzukake no Ki no Michi de ... Yaya Kihazukashii Ketsuron no Yō na Mono" (鈴懸の木の道で...(略)やや気恥ずかしい結論のようなもの, where "Ryaku" () is a Japanese marker for an abbreviation or omission).[4]

Composition and recording

edit

The track was composed by Tetsurō Oda. The 16 members to participate in the recording of the title track were selected in a rock–paper–scissors tournament, held among the members of AKB48 and its sister groups on September 18, 2013, at Nippon Budokan.

The song was premiered live at the Best Hit Song Festival 2013 on November 21, 2013. The single was released on 11 December 2013 in five versions: Type A, Type S, Type N, Type H, and a "theater edition".

According to Oricon, in the first week of release the single sold 1,033,336 copies in Japan, which placed it first on the Oricon Weekly CD Singles chart.[5] The single placed fourth on the Oricon year-end chart for 2014, with 1,086,491 copies sold in the country as of December 20.[2] In 2015, the song placed 1st at the Request Hour Setlist 1035, a series of concerts held in Tokyo Dome City Hall between January 21 and 25 of that year.
