On 24 November 2013, it was announced that AKB48 would release their 5th studio album, their first in over a year.[3] It was revealed that the album would have 25 songs, including songs such as Manatsu no Sounds Good! and Koisuru Fortune Cookie from their previous singles.[3] The album title, cover and tracks were subsequently reviewed on 21 December 2013. It was also announced that 15 of the tracks were written for this album, and that many of the songs were sung by different units within AKB48. This album is marketed under the catchphrase Our footprints are ahead of us.[4]
The album was released in Japan on January 22, 2014 under King Records in Japan, in several editions: Type A limited, Type A regular, Type B, and Theater. The albums consist of 2 CDs. The Type A limited contains a bonus DVD. The Theater edition is only sold at the AKB48 theater and only contains the first CD.
The first CD (CD1) includes seven of AKB48's singles that were released in 2012–2013, from "Manatsu no Sounds Good!" to "Koi Suru Fortune Cookie". It includes original songs performed by Team Kenkyusei, as well as songs that were B-sides of singles. The second CD (CD2) has different track lists for Type A and Type B. It contains more B-side singles as well as original songs by AKB48 members. The limited edition has a DVD which shows a short documentary of the group members at a concert.
The seven singles and their B-sides were also sung by and with famous members, currently graduated from AKB48 Tomomi Itano, Mariko Shinoda, Sayaka Akimoto, Tomomi KasaiorAtsuko Maeda. Therefore, these members are not credited in the album.[improper synthesis?]
