The single, which became the band's highest charting single, was completed in three days, according to Tetsuji Hayashi. At that time, Hayashi was busy with the work of producing music for all artists, but the tie-up of Omega Tribe's Japan Airlines TV-CM was decided, and it was a situation where he could not complete the composition one day early. After that, a person Hayashi knew gave him the advertising slogan, "Only you, kimi ni sasayaku, futari no natsu monogatari!" (Japanese: Only you 君にささやくふたりの夏物語; translation: "Only you, whisper to you, a summer story of two people"). Hayashi started to write the song alongside Chinfa Kan, and it was completed in three days.^[1]

When the song was completed in this way, the members, who were on a national tour at the time, returned to Tokyo in between the tour to complete the recording. Hayashi said on his own website, "I don't know because the song I finished in just three days became Omega's biggest hit." In addition, Kiyotaka Sugiyama said, "When we were in a rush to make the song, we flew from Kyushu from Tokyo in the airplane while remembering the lyrics."

The single was the band's biggest hit, selling 380,000 copies and peaking at the #5 position on the Oricon charts.^[2] The song was featured on The Best Ten and on The Top Ten, but since the band had disbanded at the end of 1985, the song did not appear in the program at the end of the year.

• The song was included in the album Another Summer, but was remixed in the album. Another remix was included in the greatest hits album Omega Tribe Groove by Eiji Uchinuma and Mizuo Miura.
