Background

The song was first introduced and performed at the release party of her debut single "Delightful" in Velfarre on March 22 of the same year. Ami presented the song as "one that will start being available online in April (of that year)" [1] A remix version from German trance group Bulldozer was released online on April 13, 2005.

The single was finally released on May 25 in two formats: CD+DVD and CD Only. Ballad song "Kagami" (, Mirror) composed by Tomoya Kinoshita was included as the b-side of the single. Kinoshita also composed "About You...", b-side of the previous single "Delightful". [2] Both versions of the single contain a different remix, one from 80key and other from Dub Master X. The previously released Bulldozer remix was not included in the single, but was later included in the remix album Amix World . The DVD included in the CD+DVD version includes the music video and behind the scenes footage of the "Eventful", as well as a short version of "Hopeful". The full version of this video would be later be included in DVD of the Around The World album.

At the end of 2005 "Eventful" was awarded in the 47th Japan Record Award with the gold prize. [3]

Music video

The music video shows Ami dressing a once-piece red motocross suit. In the first scenes of the video she is inside a sort of shop showcase as if she was a statue, and when the music beats start she begins an energetic choreography with her dancers. Two of the dancers in the video are members of J-Pop band AAA. In the next scene of the video Ami appears sitting a couch aside a lamp, and she goes to another room there, where she finds a modern motorbike. She puts a helmet on, gets onto the motorbike and drives out to the highway. In the final scenes of the video Ami gets off the motorbike and contemplates the sunrise of the morning after, as she sings the final parts of the song.

The Dance Clip version of the video included in the DVD of the Around The World album features only the scenes of the showcase of Ami along with the dancers.

Ami Suzuki is a Japanese recording artist, DJ, and actress from Zama, Kanagawa, Japan. Having been discovered at the talent TV show Asayan, she was one of the most popular female teen idols in the late 1990s. However, in 2000, Suzuki faced legal problems with her management company resulting in a controversial blacklisting from the entertainment industry. Suzuki attempted to resurrect her career under her own steam with two indie singles before signing to Avex Trax in 2005. She released "Delightful", a dance song that reached No. 3 on the Japanese Oricon charts with a style similar to electronic club music, significantly different from her pop idol days. Since her appearance in the 2006 film Rainbow Song, Suzuki has gradually made a name for herself in the acting field, starring in various movies, television series, and musicals.
