Tak came to the studio with the idea that he would like a song that could be easily covered, and the resulting song was the current version of "Ai no Bakudan". Originally, the song was going to have more of an "oriental arrangement", but this was simplified to the current version to better suit the idea of a musically accessible song. The "Bakudan" (''Bomb'') portion of the title was originally written in kanji, but concerned the kanji typically associated with "bomb" could project an atmosphere at odds with the song's meaning, "Bakudan" was instead expressed in katakana. During live shows, the song has become a staple, where it is often paired with other high energy songs (as with "[[Shoudou]]" in 2006 and "[[juice]]" in 2008). The song also has been known to become personalized to the location of the performance, with the line "Kimi no voice" (''Your voice'') being changed to appeal to the location of the show, such as Tokyo attendees hearing the line as "Tokyo no voice" (''Tokyo's voice''). The song's success and popularity has led to it being included in the majority of live setlists since its release, as well as an entirely English version titled "[[B'z (English Album)\|Love Bomb]]" that debuted in 2012.		#: [[File:s38_01.ogg]] Determining the lead single from ''[[THE CIRCLE]]'' did not come easily, and it was only toward the end of the recording sessions did "Ai no Bakudan" come about.
