Details

"Tiki Bun / Shabadaba Dū / Mikaeri Bijin" is the second triple-A single by Morning Musume in the group's history.

It is going to be Morning Musume's last single with Sayumi Michishige as a member.[1]

The very first live performance of the song "Tiki Bun" was at the Morning Musume 18th anniversary concert. The concert took place on September 14, 2014, at the Shinagawa Stellar Ball in Tokyo.[2]

"Shabadaba Dū" is Sayumi Michishige's solo song. It was premiered on radio, at Michishige's own radio show.[3]

"Mikaeri Bijin" is an enka song. It is the first original song (not a cover song) of the enka music genre in Morning Musume's history.[4] It is performed by all Morning Musume members except Michishige: Mizuki Fukumura, Erina Ikuta, Riho Sayashi, Kanon Suzuki, Haruna Iikubo, Ayumi Ishida, Masaki Sato, Haruka Kudo and Sakura Oda.[5]

All regular editions are CD-only, while all limited editions include a DVD that features a music video.[5]

All limited editions include a card with a serial number that can be used to enter a lottery to win a ticket for a handshake event (a meeting with the group where fans line up to shake hands with the group members), while all regular editions come with a collectable photo (there are two sets of photos: one for the Regular Edition A and one for the Regular Edition B, each set has 11 different photos: one of each member and one of the entire group; in the set that comes with the Regular Edition A, members are dressed in the costumes for the song "Tiki Bun", and in the other set — in the costumes for "Mikaeri Bijin").[5]
