T-ara held special showcases in fifteen Japanese cities, starting in Sapporo on February 20 and Marioka on 21st.[1] Other cities where they held showcases include Saitama, Kyoto, Fukuoka, Nagasaki etc.[2] The showcase tour reportedly attracted 100,000 local fans.[3]
Despite being sung by the K-Pop singers, the original cover is Japanese.
Billboard K-Town columnist Jeff Benjamin wrote that the song "incorporates a cuddly and cute theme over a techno club beat" with "aggressive synthesizers that recall Britney Spears' "3". He was critical, however, in saying that while "Banisuta!" brings T-ara's usual earworm hook, the song "fails to be nearly as catchy as singles like "Roly-Poly" or "Lovey-Dovey".[4]
