Theme, music video and choreography

As suggested by its title and lyric, the song portrays the "feeling of the speed of a spring whirlwind"; the song's protagonist is a princess cruising over the spring ocean.[3]

The Single V was released on March 29, 2006.[4]

Reina Tanaka is shown modelling the choreography for the PV in additional pictures. Part of this dance, the characteristic "ue ue" (上　上, sometimes written "↑↑", "up up") motion of pointing one's index fingers up in the air, is often imitated by fans at concerts.
