The CD single will also have another unnamed song, as well as the karaoke versions of both songs.

The cast performed "Yuriyurararara Yuruyuri Death Jiken" as "Metal Goraku-Bu" with former Megadeth guitarist Marty Friedman (Detroit Metal City, Naruto Spin-Off: Rock Lee & His Ninja Pals, Maria Watches Over Us 3rd Season) on the second night of the Animelo Summer Live 2015 concerts on Saturday. Hiroki Yasumoto narrated, and the Animelo Summer Live's stage band performed the music.

The various Yuruyuri anime projects adapt Namori's manga about four fun-loving schoolgirls who take over the former room of a tea ceremony club for their own "Goraku-bu" (amusement club).

The main staff, while different from the first two seasons, will return from the Yuruyuri Nachu Yachumi! original video anime (OVA) for the third season. Hiroyuki Hata (Recently, my sister is unusual., Kamichu!) is directing the series at TYO Animations (Samurai Warriors, Tamayura - Hitotose). Motohiro Taniguchi (Recently, my sister is unusual.) is designing the characters and serving as chief animation director. Makoto Fukami (Chotto Kawaii Iron Maiden, Psycho-Pass) is joining the staff and work with Hata on the scenario.

The main cast will also return.

The first anime series premiered in Japan in July 2011, and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired. The 12-episode sequel series Yuruyuri♪♪ premiered in July 2012, and Crunchyroll also streamed that series as it aired. The Yuruyuri Nachu Yachumi! original video anime project shipped in February, after running in theaters last November.

JManga and ALC Publishing released part of the original manga digitally in English before JManga shut down in 2013. NISA has licensed and released both previous seasons in North America.
