According to Oricon, this was the third best selling single from 1978.[3]

The song was performed on Pink Lady and Jeff along with "UFO," making those two the only Pink Lady songs to be performed on the show.
A re-recorded version of the song was included on the 2-disc greatest hits release, INNOVATION released in December 2010.
