Single information

"Kitto Daijōbu" was used as an image song in the television advertisement of C1000×. The song was performed many times throughout 2006, most notably during the 2006 Asia Song Festival in Seoul, South Korea when the group was there as a representative of Japan along with Kumi Koda. The song has been cited as a favorite by several artists such as singer Ken Hirai, who spoke of his obsession with the song during one of his on-stage performances "Ken's Bar" and Music Station on May 29, 2009, and Eiji Wentz of the duo WaT, who sang the song on Utaban though he did not know the title of the song.
