Release edit

The single was released in four versions: Type-A, Type-B, Type-C and a regular edition.

The songs "Seishun no Uma" and "Naze" are used in the opening and closing theme, respectively, of the television show Dasada, which casts all members of Hinatazaka46. "Seishun no Uma" was debuted unusually early before the title track on January 11, where it was performed live at an Tokyo Girls Collection event in Shizuoka.[3][4]

Reception edit

Songwriter Junji Ishiwatari positively commented on the expressions used in the lyrics to describe the singer's love interest, such as comparing her bangs to the art style of Yoshitomo Nara.[5]
