3 Natsu Natsu Mini Berryz is a concept album with a summer theme. It is also Berryz' second seasonal-themed release (Their previous EP, Special! Best Mini: 2.5 Maime no Kare, featured a winter theme in its artwork but no winter-related songs) and features their previous single "Jiriri Kiteru" along with five tracks exclusive to the EP.
The EP is equally notable to Berryz fans for featuring separate members, or clusters of members, covering summer-related Hello! Project songs by Aya Matsuura, Coconuts Musume, and 3nin Matsuri.

The album debuted at number 20 in the Oricon Weekly Single Chart, remaining in the list for 3 weeks.
"Jiriri Kiteru" is the first single taken to promote 3 Natsu Natsu Mini Berryz. It was released on March 29, 2006. The single ranked 6th in the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart, setting a new high for the group.
The single "Yeah! Meccha Holiday", previously released on May 29, 2002 by Aya Matsuura, who was a Hello! Project solo artist at the time. Tsunku composed and wrote the lyrics, and it was arranged by Yuichi Takahashi. The song appears in 2012 Japanese game Just Dance Wii 2. The title song was covered by AKB48's Rino Sashihara on her debut solo single "Soredemo Suki Da yo".
