This is a song by Pocky Girls, a Morning Musume sub-unit formed for a Pocky commercial.
The Pocky Girls members include Nozomi Tsuji, Ai Kago, Ai Takahashi, and a total of nine members.
They performed the commercial song for Mousse Pocky, and unlike Venus Mousse—another unit formed from Morning Musume members with an elegant vibe—this unit stood out for its bright and energetic image.
With lyrics that cheer on student love at high energy, it’s a powerful love song that gives you a boost.

Released in 1997 as Ulfuls’ 15th single, it was featured in the Pocky Saka Koi Monogatari TV commercial that aired the same year.
It was also used as an insert song in an omnibus film starring Kippei Shiina and others, which was created based on that commercial.
The simple lyrics evoke a natural, easygoing couple—someone who makes you feel warm when they’re with you, and a little lonely when they’re not.
It makes you think how lovely it is to have a relationship where you can casually share a pack of Pocky and chat about nothing in particular.
