This is their 17th single and is a bright summer song, a commercial song for Kowa "Unakowa",[1] and "Dream Stage" on the regular disc is the theme song for Fuji TV's "Moshi Mo Tours".[2] Each of the three formats also includes duo or trio song as a coupling. The first limited edition A features songs by Hiromitsu Kitayama, Wataru Yokoo and Toshiya Miyata, the first limited edition B features Takashi Nikaido and Kento Senga, and the regular edition features Taisuke Fujigaya and Yuta Tamamori.[2]

For the first time in the three and a half years since "Fate Girl," the music video is fully devoted to roller-skating action.[2] The setting is a 1980's drivers' cafe where the band members stop by to play at the beach, and the stage is set in the image of a "late summer night".[3]

In addition to the usual roller skating performance music video included on the first disc A, this is the first time Kis-My-Ft2 has attempted a "spin-off music video" to bring the summer to a close with a video.[4] The stage is set at the "Kis-My Summer" launch site. A mysterious creature appears. The Last Scream that roll up to the members enjoying the show are also part of the fun.[4]

During breaks in the long shoot, the members used the bar counter on the set and began an impromptu improvisational play between the bar's mom and the customers.[3]
