Trivia

 * THE BIG CHANCE contest for the music video was announced on November 14, 2014. On November 29, 2014, Ishida Ayumi confirmed that the winner of THE Big Chance contest will direct their 58th single.
 * Due to the fact that Suzuki Kanon was not completely healed from an ankle fracture, Miyamoto Karin was used as her substitute for the "Seishun Kozou ga Naiteiru" and "Yuugure wa Ameagari" videos. It was previously thought she would only be featured in the dance shot, similar to when Ishida Ayumi replaced Miyamoto in the dance shot for Ijiwaru Shinai de Dakishimete yo. It was revealed on an early leak of Yuugure wa Ameagari and the Hello Project! Station versions of both songs that Miyamoto had been given close up shots in the full Promotion Edit/Music Video as well while Suzuki was notably absent entirely. Suzuki was, however, present in the Another Ver. of Seishun Kozou ga Naiteiru.
 * This is the first single since Memory Seishun no Hikari in which each featured generation has all of their members.
 * This is the first Morning Musume single since AS FOR ONE DAY to not feature a 6th generation member, and the first ever to have neither a 1st nor 6th generation member.
 * This is Fukumura Mizuki's and Ikuta Erina's first single as leader and sub-leader, respectively.
 * The lyrics for Seishun Kozou ga Naiteiru include the lines "色は匂へど, 散りぬるを, 我が世誰ぞ, 常ならん". These lines are left untranslated and are romanized as "IROWANIOEDO, CHINIURUUWO, WAGAYOTAREZO, TSUNENARAM" in the official MV and the Another Ver. These are lines of the Iroha poem. This poem uses all characters from the Japanese syllabary exactly once and this section has been translated as "Although its scent still lingers on, the form of a flower has scattered away. For whom will the glory of this world remain unchanged?". Other lines from the poem appear in the song as well.
