Information

"Never Ever" was released only three weeks before her first compilation album, A Best . Like the latter album, she was forced by her record label, avex, to release this single. Although she had already incorporated pop-rock music in her work, this song is considered as her first real attempt to pop-rock music.

Commercial endorsements

"Never Ever" was used in a commercial for the Kirin Supli drinks. Hamasaki appeared in the TV ad. [2]
