[edit]On April 1, 2018, the song "A gonna" was first performed in "Hello! Project 20th Anniversary!! Hello! Project Hina Fest 2018: Morning Musume '18 Premium". Then on April 21, the song "Are you Happy?" was first performed in their Spring Concert "Morning Musume Tanjou 20 Shuunen Kinen Concert Tour 2018 Haru ~We are MORNING MUSUME~" in Shizuoka. On May 5, both songs were finally announced as their 65th single.[2] Since before that day, they were never mentioned to be their new single.
This also became Haruna Ogata's last single since she announced her graduation back in late March.[3] Her graduation ceremony took place at the end of their tour on June 20.
