Trivia

 * The single will contain 5 Limited Edition (A-E).
 * It was rumoured that Pyocopyoco Ultra was going to be Niigaki Risa's graduation single, but these rumours are proven false.
 * The Special Edition Limited E will contain a special solo song of a past Hello! Project single, sung by Niigaki herself, because of her position of being the "longest enrolled member of Morning Musume".
 * Tsunku commented Ren'ai Hunter on Twitter himself, saying: "MM's new song is too cool. Will they be able to sing it? It'll be a fight with/for their skills. I wonder if 9th and 10th gen will be able to keep up with the dance for MM's new song".
 * This song is believed to be influenced by Dubstep, an European/American genre of music/dance.
 * Mitsui Aika, 10th generation members and 9th generation members Fukumura Mizuki, Suzuki Kanon, and Ikuta Erina received no solo lines in this single.
 * At the end of the MV, Niigaki Risa mouths "Morning Musume, daisuki".
 * This is the third single in which Mitsui Aika is not present in the dance shot due to injury.
