"Ganbare!!" was released as the lead single on October 9, 2013.

"Heart no Hoshi" was released as the lead single on October 15, 2014, and as a DVD single on October 22, 2014. The name comes from the words "heart" and "earth", which share successive letters, expressing the song's message that once everyone's hearts are joined on Earth, the people are united; the Japanese title also uses an alternative reading of the word "earth".[13] [14] After its release, writers Tomoko Kawase and Shunsaku Okuda released a demo of the song.[15] "Aogeba Tōtoshi (from Sakura Gakuin 2014)" was released as the graduation single on February 25, 2015, and as a DVD single on March 4, 2015. Due to the archaic nature of the original lyrics, the meaning was difficult to interpret. During the group's live events, the members made their own interpretations of the song.[16]
