The song is written by Yu Aku as lyricist and Takashi Miki (三木たかし) as composer and arranger. The sleeve has 3:43 as duration of the song. The single was released on 1 January 1977 by Nippon Columbia. Together with “Amagi-goe”, the song is Ishikawa’s most popular from her career. The hit of this song resulted in Ishikawa’s first nomination for the Nippon Record Taisho Award (Japan Record Award 日本レコード大賞) in 1977 but she did not win the award.〔Ishikawa did not win the Japan Record Award but won the Singer’s Award.

As of 2013, Ishikawa has sung Tsugaru Kaikyo Fuyu-geshiki eight times at the NHK Kōhaku Uta gassen. Tsugaru Kaikyo Fuyu-geshiki originally appeared as the song representing the month of December in Ishikawa’s concept album titled “Hana Kuyou –Sanbyaku Rokuju Go Nichi Koi Moyou” (花供養（３６５日恋もよう）Flower Festival -365 Days of Love) and was not intended for single release. Prior to the release of the album, Ishikawa sang the song on stage at her recital in Osaka. This first presentation of the song received critical acclaim, which led to the song’s subsequent release as a single in the following year.〔The live recording of the recital (Nippon Columbia AZ 7056-7).
