Tracklist:
1. "Nagaredama":
The MV was directed by Kazuma Ikeda, who previously directed the MV for "Silent Majority" when they were as Keyakizaka46, as was its Choreographer U. TAKAHIRO. MV was Produced by Gen Obama (PICS) and Production was done as with previous 2 singles by PICS. Lyrics by Yasushi Akimoto; Music by Derek Turner and Arrangement by Seiji Muto. A sort of a take on Keyakizaka46's Ambivalent but not complete song as its all over the place and music is not fully hooked to make it for a repeat listen, similar to previous single titles Nobody's Fault and BAN.
I would call this a take on Keyakizaka46's Abunakkashii Keikaku in a Sakurazaka46 style.
Great song in this single. A MUST LISTEN.
5. "Jamaica Beer" (Type B)
6. "On My Way" (Type C)
Best song of the Single. Its a very happy song by the Rina's of the group - Matsuda Rina and Inuoe Rina. They have beautifully sung and executed the song perfectly. The song is composed excellently and has some cool notes to it.
Good song. Its a true reminder that the group still has its roots from Keyakizaka46 and it has some great Guitar work.

Commercial Success:
The single debuted atop the Oricon Singles Chart and the Billboard Japan Hot 100, selling over 375,000 copies in Japan in its first week of release. It is certified Platinum by RIAJ. Sales have been noting special when compared to some of their best selling singles from their 2nd half as Keyakizaka46. Guess COVID is till majorly responsible for that, yet a steady number of copies sold. Mind you sister groups Nogizaka46 and Hinatazaka46 have sold in excess of 400,000 copies each for that matter.
