Overview

The theme of this album is “Marugoto Love Song" (The whole thing is a love song.), and each song in the album is a song about love in its various forms. [2]

It was released in three forms: First edition A/B and Regular disc. The DVD of the first edition A includes the music video for "Love" and "Kis-My-Ft2's Funny Sports Championship," while the DVD of the first edition B includes the music video for "Because I Love You" and the DVD of "Ura Yummy! (Moments of Another Kis-Matsu-So)" will be included. The regular edition include three unit songs. This is the first time in two years that a unit song has been included on a single. [2]

"Love" is a commercial song for Kowa's "Unakowa Cool", in which the members appear. [3] "Because I Love You” is a commercial song for Daiichi Kosho Company's "Live Dam Stadium", and is an emotional ballad about her painful feelings of being too young to love as a student. The music video “Dance Edition” features dance. [4]

"Love" and "Because I Love You" made their television premieres on the July 7, 2018 broadcast of Nippon TV's "Tge Music Day: The Song You Want to Tell" and TBS Television (Japan)'s "Count Down TV" on the same day, respectively.
