Information

Never Ever was released only three weeks before her first compilation album, A Best. Like the latter album, she was forced by her record label, avex, to release this single. Although she had already incorporated pop-rock music in her work, this song is considered as her first real attempt to pop-rock music.

Commercial endorsment

Never Ever was used in a commercial for the Kirin Supli drinks. She appeared in the TV ad.[3]
