Originally scheduled for an April 20 , 2011 release , it was postponed due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami disaster . As a result , they both premiered on May 18 , 2011 as the fourth single from the album in Japan . It was also released on June 19 , 2013 through European and Oceanic regions , and June 25 in North America . The maxi CD of the single contains both the A-side tracks , plus their instrumental versions . The cover artwork was photographed by Japanese photographer Takaki Kumada ; the CD format uses the " Kasuka na Kaori " artwork ( which has the girls surrounded by furniture , in front of a cityscape ) , whilst the DVD format uses the " Laser Beam " artwork ( which has the girls pointing lasers towards the camera )
