	#: The image of the song came about while Koshi was writing the lyrics for "[[ultra soul]]". It came quickly, and since he didn't have anything else to take notes on, he wrote the idea for the song on the back of the lyrics sheet for "[[ultra soul]]". The sheet in question was later shown on the TBS program "Utaban", at which its value was estimated to be 2.5 million yen. Initially, the song was among those remaining after the sessions for the band's 2000 album, ''[[ELEVEN]]''. While it did not make it onto the album, it wasn't forgotten, with the guitar riff associated with the song during the sessions remaining intact even now. The song was first heard by the public as the ending music to [[B'z LIVE-GYM 2002 "GREEN~GO★FIGHT★WIN~"]]. Later, a portion of the song was featured as the opening music to the [[a BEAUTIFUL REEL. B'z LIVE-GYM 2002 GREEN ~GO★FIGHT★WIN~\|home video release of the same tour]]. Although it initially went unperformed in the live arena, five years after its inclusion as a B-side here, it was finally played live during [[B'z LIVE-GYM 2008 "ACTION"]] to much acclaim. For the band's twentieth anniversary, they were once again called upon to vote for the tracks they wished to be included on a new fan-selected compilation. "New Message" ranked as the seventh most popular song among hundreds of options and was included on the second disc of the resulting album, ''[[B'z The Best "ULTRA Treasure"]]''.		#: The image of the song came about while Koshi was writing the lyrics for "[[ultra soul]]".
