"Choto Mate Kudasai!" (チョトマテクダサイ！, "Wait a little bit, please!") is the 9th major single by the Japanese girl idol group S/mileage. It was released in Japan on February 1, 2012 on the label Hachama.

The physical CD single debuted at number 2 in the Oricon daily singles chart.

B-sides

The B-side of the regular edition is a cover of the song "Namida Girl" by Miki Fujimoto (from her 2003 album Miki 1).

Release

The single was released in five versions: four limited editions (Limited Editions A, B, C, and D) and a regular edition.

All the limited editions came with a sealed-in serial-numbered entry card for the lottery to win a ticket to one of the single's launch events.

The corresponding DVD single (so called Single V) was released a week later, on February 8.
