Trivia

 * 4th Generation member Tsuji Nozomi gives a comment about the single on Youtube
 * This is the twelfth single where Iida Kaori was leader of Morning Musume.
 * In the original version, the members sang about the habits of the member, but in later concert performances with different line-ups, the members sang about themselves.
 * During Iida Kaoris part, the members talked about how all older (former) members got married, and how she does a great job as the leader. Iida then shouted ""But only until next year!". This hinted her graduation from the group in 2005.
 * This single is different from previous singles from Morning Musume because the song is about the members.
 * Tsunku sings at the refrain.
 * This song is unique from all of the other singles because, whenever it is sung, the lyrics constantly changes as well. It has multiple recorded versions from Ai no Dai 6 Kan, Rainbow 7, and Dreams. 1, as well as the various concert performances.
