Trivia

 * In the music video and on the CD jackets, "YEAH YEAH YEAH" is stylized with a thumbs up symbol at the end of the title. However, the official discography page lists it without.
 * New group members Shimakura Rika, Nishida Shiori, Eguchi Saya, Maeda Kokoro, Yamazaki Yuhane, and Okamura Minami are featured in the single despite their absence from the Hello Pro All Stars group photo.
 * Members of the Hello! Project Station Dance Club perform during the dance break in "YEAH YEAH YEAH", specifically Ishida Ayumi, Takeuchi Akari, Miyamoto Karin, Murota Mizuki, Sasaki Rikako, Inaba Manaka, Morito Chisaki, Hamaura Ayano, Yamagishi Riko, and Akiyama Mao.
 * The "YEAH YEAH YEAH" music video begins with current Hello! Project leader Wada Ayaka taking her place among the other members, and ends with Fukumura Mizuki walking up steps before staring into the sky as the scene pans out to display a vast landscape, symbolizing the passing down of leadership and the future of Hello! Project.
 * The colors on the "YEAH YEAH YEAH" outfits represent when each member debuted: red for 2009–2011, blue for 2012–2014, purple for 2015, and yellow for 2016–2018.
 * The outfits in the "Akogare no Stress-free" music video are recycled outfits used for past releases or concerts.
