"Suki yo, Junjō Hankōki." (好きよ、純情反抗期。) is the 11th major single (15th counting the indies) by the Japanese girl idol group S/mileage, released in Japan on August 22, 2012.[2][3][4][5]

Background

The single was released in four versions: Limited Edition A, Limited Edition B, Limited Edition C, Limited Edition D, and Regular Edition. Each edition has a different cover. The limited editions A, B, and C include a bonus DVD with a different version of the music video for the title track. All the limited editions are shipped sealed and include a serial-numbered entry card for the lottery to win a ticket to one of the single's launch events.

The B-side is a cover of the hit song "Kimi wa Jitensha Watashi wa Densha de Kitaku" by Cute.[6] Cute released it as a CD single four months prior, in April 2012. The version by S/mileage is used as a theme song in Kaidan Shin Mimibukuro Igyō, a movie starring S/mileage members that came out on August 11.
