The first presses of the single came with a ticket to vote in the AKB48 22nd Single Senbatsu Election (to choose the members to be featured in the next AKB48's single, to be released in the summer). "Everyday, Katyusha" was used as the theme song for the film
Moshidora, which stars AKB48 members
Atsuko Maeda and
Minami Minegishi, and the song "Yankee Soul" will be the title track for the television drama
Majisuka Gakuen 2 by
TV Tokyo. It was announced that part of the proceeds from this album will be donated to help the victims of the
2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. "Everyday, Katyusha" sold a total of 942,475 copies on its release day alone, and it set a new sales record with sales of 1.33 million albums on its debut week. ==Track listing==
