Some commentators believe that the reason why the single was able to set a record was the included voting ticket for the AKB48 3rd General Election. www.biquge.info In some cases, supporters bought 12,500 singles for 20 million yen, and some sold 100 voting tickets for 98,000 yen.

Some critics have criticized the fact that this practice may damage the reputation of the charts that record famous songs, and that the election is not a one-person-one-vote model, but Ryuo Inazo, a professor of sociology at Hosei University, believes that the behavior of buying CDs has become different from the past. In the end, however, nearly half of the people who bought the single did not use the voting coupons, and the single, together with the spring single "Turning into a Cherry Blossom Tree" and the album "It's Here", generated sales of 6.66 billion yen in the first half of 2011, accounting for about a quarter of the total national record sales in the same period, and indirectly helped the total half-year music sales in Japan, which had been declining for three consecutive years, to record a 12.1% increase It also set a new record for the highest first-week sales of this work in recent years, and some commentators have commented that AKB48's rising popularity is one of the main reasons for the improvement of the shrinking Japanese music market.

Of course, no matter what, this single became the most popular single of the year.

In fact, as early as March 29 this year, Ai Hui Records announced for the first time that AKB48's 21st single would be released. The single is available in five versions: Type-A, Type-A First Limited, Type-B, Type-B First Limited, and Theatrical Only, each with different content. Both Type-A and Type-B versions come with a voting ticket for AKB48's 22nd single selection general election, and fans who purchase at AKB48's Hong Kong specialty store can also get a separate voting ticket for the Hong Kong general election, but the votes received by members in Hong Kong will not be counted in the votes for the Japanese general election, but will be counted separately and the votes for the Hong Kong general election will be announced by the specialty store. In addition, the Type-A and Type-B first round limited edition plates also come with a ticket for participation in the National Handshake Party, and the theater plate comes with a ticket for the sale commemorative handshake party and a photo of the general election. A portion of the proceeds from the single will be donated to the victims of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and some members will go to Miyako City and Minamisanriku Town, Miyagi Prefecture, to sing the A-side song "Everyday, Headband".

On April 16, AKB48 revealed for the first time the number of members participating in the single at the handshake party held at the Osaka Dome to commemorate the release of "Turning into a Cherry Blossom Tree", with a total of 26 members, the highest number in history. Since then, AKB48 has promoted the single on music shows such as "MUSICSTATION", "SMAP×SMAP", and "MUSICJAPAN".

Since the background music of this song is full of movement, and the voices of different members must naturally cooperate with each other to create a sense of layering, so whether it is during the recording of the song or when singing live, the members have accentuated their voices when it comes to the duet section of the chorus, making the singing stronger and easier to impress the audience.

Like all of the B-side songs in this single and all of AKB48's previous releases, "Everyday, Headband" was written by the group's chief producer Yasushi Akimoto, while Yoshimasa Inoue, who has written many pieces for AKB48, such as "Loud Diamonds", "10 Years Sakura", "RIVER", and "Beginner", was responsible for the composition and arrangement.

"Wonderland Now", in which Yona Kojima, Rino Shihara, Aki Takashiro, Atsuko Maeda, Yuko Oshima, Minami Minegishi, Mai Shiraishi, and Yuki Kashiwagi participated, was the advertising song for the drink WONDA, while "The Power of People", which was part of Yoka Katayama, Natsumi Matsubara, Tomomi Nakatsuka, Rumi Yonezawa, Natsuki Sato, Amina Sato, Akine Takayanagi, member of SKE48, and Nana Yamada of NMB48, became the advertising song of the travel agency H.I.S. 10 veteran members, including Mai Shiraishi, Yona Kojima, Yuki Kashiwagi and Mayu Watanabe, dressed up as flight attendants to shoot the advertisement.

"You may be seated, Shiraishi. Yasudo Akimoto.
