This single's cover was designed by the creator of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure manga, Hirohiko Araki.
There was a chapter featuring "Yukako" called "Diamond wa Kudakenai" and that phrase is a line in BBB's song SHE IS BACK, so their video director pointed this chapter out to them and they got Araki to illustrate their cover. There is also a girl in the PV who represents Yukako. She runs past boys and they fly into the sky. WATCH IT

BREEEEZE GIRL: When I first heard this in the commercial, I thought, this would be a pretty cool single but it'll probably end up as a B-side when the Gintama OP, Stairway Generation has a single. I'm glad they released this first.
I like Shiori's I JUST WANNA BE YOUR... then Koide finishes the line with BOYFRIEND no kisetsu ni. The entire chorus is great too, that part loops on the seabreeze site, so I always had it stuck in my head.
BREEEEZE GIRL II: Right away, I hear that this song has a very indies BBB feel to it, in the style and production. The lead singer Koide mentioned in a recent blog entry that he wrote the lyrics back when he was 19 (now 24). It's a new recording, but you feel like you're in a garage during practice. You can hear their equipment buzzing, it's very scratchy, somewhat distorted, has more screaming, and he even admits to singing to sound younger. The shared "Oh BREEZE GIRL BREEZE GIRL" line is cute, actually the only part of this single that specifically says the words "Breeze Girl".
Then he reveals that it was originally going to be called ELECTRIC SUMMER.
That title was instead given to some really insignificant
random track. . . (umm their 1st official single or some crap like that?)
LOVE MATHEMATICS (Shibuya Kai"TRUE LOVE"REMIX)
I love this, I hate math. They went a completely different direction with this. The original is a rock song, this has a very electronic dance music production. The original has the lines 12345+1+2, but now everything is mixed up. They give Shiori's lines a Perfume-like treatment, cute blips throughout singing random numbers. The 2nd half gets a bit crazy (break filled with the LOUD GASP for air sound) and then mellows out with Shiori echoing Koide's verses. I had a link to the remixer's site, but can't find it right now.
That was fun, now quit messing around and put out the 3rd album. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /frown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':eyepatch:' />
