One of the truly hard rock singles by the band, "juice" has enjoyed wide acclaim amongst fans old and new alike. When performed live, the breakdown in the song between the guitar solo and the final chorus is often utilized for fan interaction, with Koshi calling upon the crowd in a call-and-response routine with varying exclamations and phrases, eventually culminating in the final riff. This, along with its inherent high energy, has made it a favorite of many fans and has garnered it a place on many of their live setlists since its release. As of 2020, it is currently their eighth most performed song. An entirely re-recorded English version was released as "Juice" on the band's debut English album in 2012. The original song was also used as the ending theme to the TV Asahi series "Onepu!". For its first album collection on studio work ELEVEN, a remix titled "juice (PM Mix)" saw a slightly heavier version with raised vocals and more emphasized guitar being released. The "PM" stands for "Poquito Mas" which was a small-time Mexican outlet at which the band commonly ate during production.
