"Want!" (stylized as "WANT!") is the 30th single by the Japanese idol group Berryz Kobo, released in Japan on December 19, 2012.[2][3]
Background
The single was released in four versions: Limited Edition A (catalog number PKCP-5216/7), Limited Edition B (PKCP-5218/9), Limited Edition C (PKCP-5220), and Regular Edition (PKCP-5221). Each edition has a different cover. All the limited editions were shipped sealed and included a serial-numbered entry card for the lottery to win a ticket to one of the single's launch events. The limited editions A and B included a bonus DVD: Limited Edition A DVD contained the "Want! (Dance Shot Ver.)" music video, Limited Edition B — "Want! (Dance Shot Ver. II)".
The corresponding DVD single (so called Single V) was released a week later, on December 26. As of November 27, the music video for the title song had been uploaded to the Berryz Kobo official YouTube channel.[3]
The song, with lyrics by Tsunku (つんく), begins with the words "Yasashiku kata toka dakarete mitai" (優しく肩とか抱かれてみたい, "I want you to gently hold my shoulders"), but the title comes from the refrain which is sung in English: "Ah, ah, ah, ah, I want it, want it".
