Trivia[]
- The album was first announced on December 15, 2018 in the Morning Musume '18 Concert Tour Aki ~GET SET, GO!~ Final at Nippon Budokan.[13]
- The covers are homages to the first compilation album Best! Morning Musume 1 released in 2001.
- This album picks up where their 2007 album Morning Musume ALL SINGLES COMPLETE ~10th ANNIVERSARY~ left off, which included their singles from Morning Coffee until Onna ni Sachi Are, while this album includes their singles from Mikan until Furari Ginza / Jiyuu na Kuni Dakara.
- This album is missing Appare Kaitenzushi!, the promotional a-side released by Muten Musume. While it's not counted as a Morning Musume single, the c/w Kura Sushi Bikkurapon! was featured on Morning Musume '14 Coupling Collection 2, making things inconsistent. (The only album Appare Kaitenzushi! has been released on is Petit Best 11.)
- This is the first Morning Musume album to include their 2013 A-side "Ai no Gundan", 2014 A-sides "Shabadaba Doo~ / Mikaeri Bijin", and 2015 and 2016 singles which were all skipped over in earlier compilations.
- "Koishite Mitakute" was planned to be Ogata Haruna's graduation song and release as double A-side with "A gonna" instead of "Are you Happy?"[14]
- The album was originally scheduled for release on March 13, 2019, but it was postponed to a week later due to production issues.[15]
- This is Morning Musume's first album to reach #1 on the weekly Oricon charts since No.5 in 2003 and their fourth album overall to do so (not counting the mini album Hatachi no Morning Musume by the anniversary unit Morning Musume 20th).[16] This is the first album to to reach #1 on Oricon for the 9th through 14th generation members as well.
