"Shining Butterfly" (シャイニング バタフライ?) is the first single by the Japanese female pop group Dream Morning Musume, released in Japan on February 15, 2012 on the Zetima label.
As is usual for Hello! Project releases, all songs on the single are composed and written entirely by Tsunku. The first track is arranged by Shōichirō Hirata, and the second by Kaoru Ōkubo, which was exactly the same for the last two Morning Musume singles, "Only You" and "Kono Chikyū no Heiwa o Honki de Negatterun Da yo! / Kare to Issho ni Omise ga Shitai!" (except the Ai Takahashi Graduation Commemoration Edition).
The A-side is completely new, while the coupling track is a newly arranged re-recording of a song that previously appeared on the album Rainbow 7 by Morning Musume.
Also, this new title track is the theme song for an upcoming movie titled Atsushi Hime Number 1. It is the first movie produced by Tsunku, and it stars the Dream Morning Musume member Rika Ishikawa.
Miki Fujimoto, who was on maternity leave from the group, still participated in recording the songs and in making the music video.
The music video tells a story which centers around Rika Ishikawa. She is at the bar thinking about her lover, when he suddenly comes in with two other women.
The video also features a cameo appearance by Ai Takahashi, who participated in recording the single as well. She is not a member of the group and just recently, in September 2011, graduated from Morning Musume.
