It is her 28th single and is also her first work to be released from her own sub-label within Avex, Love Life Records.

The single was released the same date as the DVD Hitomi 2005 10th Anniversary Live: Thank You and the photoshoot "Hitomi Love Life Style", and it was released approximately one year after her previous single.

"Japanese Girl", apart from being her first single to be released from her sub-label Love Life Records, marks as well a change in style in Hitomi's music.

"Japanese Girl" was used as the opening theme of NHK's TV show Music Fighter for May, and also of TVO's Heroin Tanjo!.

Its B-sides include "Venus", a cover of the Shocking Blue song which was used as backing music in commercials of Japan's Gillette starring Hitomi herself, and also a re-arranged version of "There Is...", Hitomi's 15th single.
