Trivia

唱 was commissioned for Universal Studios Japan's Halloween Horror Night event, specifically as the theme song for the dance show Zombie・de・Dance, which has run annually since 2023.
The song was composed and arranged by Giga and TeddyLoid, two prominent producers in the Vocaloid and J-pop scene known for high-energy electronic arrangements.
Lyrics were written by TOPHAMHAT-KYO, a frequent collaborator with Ado who also contributed to other tracks in her catalog.
The official music video / short film titled "Another Story" was directed by TOHRU MiTSUHASHi and ヤスタツ.
唱 was released as a digital single on September 6, 2023 via Virgin Music, an imprint of Universal Music Japan.
The title 唱 (Shō) translates to "chant" or "sing," reflecting the song's shout-along, call-and-response structure built around the repeated "Na-na, na-na-na" and "Shout it out" hooks.
In maimai, the song is included at the same edited length (2:09) as used in the Zombie・de・Dance show performance, rather than a full-length version.
The Re:MASTER chart by 鳩ホルダー contains 146 Touch notes, the highest count among the five note types in that chart and an unusually heavy Touch emphasis for a PRiSM song.
唱 also appears in CHUNITHM LUMINOUS PLUS and later received an ULTIMA difficulty chart in CHUNITHM X-VERSE.
The jacket art features a stylized, theatrical illustration of Ado in a Halloween-tinged visual, consistent with the USJ event branding.
