Used as the main theme of a Mos Burgers TV commercial with Ami on it, "BE TOGETHER" became massive success in Japan. It debuted at number, beating Ayumi Hamasaki's Boys & Girls (which went on to get #1 the following week). On the monthly charts, BE TOGETHER was #2 while Boys & Girls was #1. This was Ami's first #1 single and the 17th best selling single of 1999 according to Oricon. It's also the best selling single of Ami even now.

The single was released in two formats: Maxi Single and Vinyl. The maxi included original and instrumental version the song, a live-like version, and also a b-side titled "NIGHT SKY".
