The single is the group's first double A-side single in four years since their 2004 "&lt;a href="Hitomi%20no%20Naka%20no%20Galaxy/Hero"&gt;Hitomi no Naka no Galaxy/Hero&lt;/a&gt;" single and the regular edition for "Truth/Kaze no Mukō e" is the first since "Nice na Kokoroiki" not to have the members featured in the cover. The promotional video for "Kaze no Mukō e" premiered on August 8, 2008, in time for the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Prior to the video's release, news program "News Zero" ran a feature featuring Sakurai writing the rap lyrics and recording the song. Arashi also provided the theme song, "Hero", for the news coverage of the 2004 Olympic Games four years earlier on NTV.
