It was written, composed, arranged, and produced by Japanese musician and Capsule member Yasutaka Nakata.

An accompanying music video was shot by Kazuaki Seki; it features the girls performing the song in a futuristic labyrinth, trying to retrieve a suitcase by a mysterious man.

"Laser Beam" was written, composed, arranged, and produced by Japanese musician and Capsule member Yasutaka Nakata.

Alongside the album's remaining material, "Laser Beam" has partial rights by Nakata through Yamaha Music Communications.

[8] Asian Junkie editor Random J reviewed the song on his personal blog, and stated about the album remix, "As with "Laser Beam" Yasutaka throws in some new melodic passages, arrangements and completely new key changes."

[9] A staff editor from CD Journal noted that the song was influenced by Technopop, a musical genre that the group had developed in their earlier years.

[10] The song was noted by critics for its lack of autotune and vocoder post-production tools, which was common in the group's earlier work.

Yasutaka chops and stutters the absolute shit out of the post chorus sections in a way which cements his position as one of the best knob twiddlers in the music biz right now.

[9] Ian Martin from The Japan Times was favorable in his review, stating, "The chorus... of "Laser Beam" are great examples of classic Japanese pop, taking the sounds of 1970s kayōkyoku and 1980s technopop and updating them in a way that manages to be at once nostalgic and defiantly modern."

[11] Paul Browne from Jpopgo.co.uk enjoyed the track, asserting that, "'Laser Beam' certainly stands out from the others with its crunchy melody and crisp production, even in its album mix incarnation here.

"[12] A staff editor from Selective Hearing was positive in their review; he/she said, "It took some time but for Perfume fans this was definitely worth the wait.

"[8] A staff editor from CD Journal reviewed the single release, and was generally favorable; he.she labelled it an "adorable pop tune".

[19] The double A-side singles were certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for physical shipments of 100,000 units.

[21] A power blackout caused from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake prevented them from continuing filming, and the music video wasn't completed.

Perfume member Kashiyuka summons a mini version of herself, holding onto it, and casting a spell against the man, making him fall to the ground.

[21] Perfume member A-Chan throws an apple as a detraction, and the group attacks the bear by using laser beams.

A-Chan picks up the plush toy, and Kashiyuka opens the briefcase to witness a small gold ornament.
