It charted at number 54 on the Oricon weekly chart.[1] The album was scheduled for release on March 23, 2011, but was postponed due to the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.[2]
"Yume ni Mukatte" / "Hello! Ivy" was released as the lead single on December 8, 2010. "Hello! Ivy" served as a collaboration song with Mono Comme Ça stores in Japan.[3] The group performed at Tower Records Shinjuku on April 30 to commemorate the album release.[4]

"Verishuvi" was released as the lead single on December 21, 2011.

"Friends" was first performed at the concert Sakura Gakuin 2011 Nendo New: Departure and later released as a single.[6] After leaving the group, Ayami Mutō would later cover the song during her A.Y.M Ballads concert in August 2014.[7]

"Heart no Hoshi" was released as the lead single on October 15, 2014, and as a DVD single on October 22, 2014. The name comes from the words "heart" and "earth", which share successive letters, expressing the song's message that once everyone's hearts are joined on Earth, the people are united; the Japanese title also uses an alternative reading of the word "earth".[13][14] After its release, writers Tomoko Kawase and Shunsaku Okuda released a demo of the song.[15] "Aogeba Tōtoshi (from Sakura Gakuin 2014)" was released as the graduation single on February 25, 2015, and as a DVD single on March 4, 2015. Due to the archaic nature of the original lyrics, the meaning was difficult to interpret. During the group's live events, the members made their own interpretations of the song.[16]
