Trivia

 * "Tsugi no Kado wo Magare" was initially a track for Nakajima Takui's upcoming album, . He was asked by staff to let ℃-ute release the song as a single. A similar situation also occurred with ℃-ute's "Edo no Temari Uta II" and ANGERME's "Taiki Bansei".
 * Because Nakajima gave full rights of this song to ℃-ute, "Tsugi no Kado wo Magare" is not considered to be a cover single.
 * Hello Pro Kenshuusei members Yamagishi Riko, Ichioka Reina, Kaga Kaede and Horie Kizuki participate as back-dancers in the dance shot of "Tsugi no Kado wo Magare".
