In Japan, the album was simultaneously released on MD (entitled Jet-MD). In some Asian territories, it was also released on audio cassette under the alternative title Jet-Cassette.
The third single, "Circuit no Musume" (サーキットの娘, also known by its alternative title "Wild Girls on Circuit"), was released on March 12, 1997. The single was charted as a #1 hit.[http://www.oricon.co.jp/prof/artist/19838/products/music/108465/1/ Oricon Style: Circuit no Musume] Its cover design, when put alongside the right side of the cover from the single "Nagisa ni Matsuwaru Et Cetera", create a single picture together.{{cite web |url=http://www.puffyamiyumiworld.com/songs/wildgirlsoncircuit.html |title=Puffy AmiYumi World - Wild Girls on Circuit (Circuit no Musume) |website=www.puffyamiyumiworld.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061215001900/http://www.puffyamiyumiworld.com/songs/wildgirlsoncircuit.html |archive-date=2006-12-15}}
The fourth single, "Nagisa ni Matsuwaru Et Cetera", was released on April 4, 1997. In the first episode of the Japanese drama "Love Generation", Matsu Takako and Kimura Takuya sing karaoke to this song while doing the punching moves from the music video.{{cite web |url=http://www.puffyamiyumiworld.com/songs/electricbeachfever.html |title=Puffy AmiYumi World - Electric Beach Fever (Nagisa ni Matsuwaru Et Cetera) |website=www.puffyamiyumiworld.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061210043828/http://www.puffyamiyumiworld.com/songs/electricbeachfever.html |archive-date=2006-12-10}} The song is also notable for having the alternative title of '"Electric Beach Fever"' in Puffy's 2002 U.S. release An Illustrated History (but is not a direct translation of the original Japanese title). Lining up the single's cover with the single cover from Circuit no musume also results in one big picture.
Reception
The Japanese edition of Rolling Stone ranked Jet-CD as number 76 on their list of "100 Greatest Japanese Rock Albums".{{Cite web|url=http://neojaponisme.com/2007/11/09/100-greatest-japanese-rock-albums/|title=» 100 Greatest Japanese Rock Albums:: Néojaponisme » Blog Archive|access-date=2019-10-04|archive-date=2022-02-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220208002006/http://neojaponisme.com/2007/11/09/100-greatest-japanese-rock-albums/|url-status=dead}}
