Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The single was announced on June 30, 2020, during a livestream of select performances from the Hello! Project Hina Fes 2020 <Tsubaki Factory Premium> concert on the official Tsubaki Factory YouTube channel.[6][7]
- "Dansha-ISM" is a play on the phrase "Danshari" (断捨離) meaning "minimalism", "decluttering", or "clearing out past accumulation".
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, autograph signing sessions and most other events for the single were done virtually through the internet. This is the third Hello! Project single promoted this way after Juice=Juice's "Pop Music / Suki tte Itte yo" and ANGERME's "Kagiriaru Moment / Mirror Mirror".
- On August 10, 2020, Tsubaki Factory held a mini-live release event at the outdoor stage of the Toshimaen Amusement Park in Tokyo.[8][9] This was Tsubaki Factory's first live event or concert as a group held with an audience since the Tsubaki Factory Live Tour 2020 Haru Tsubaki on February 22, 2020. In compliance with government policy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, cheering, crowding, standing, and closeness in the venue were prohibited, and wearing masks was required to enter.
- On Twitter, Tsubaki Factory initiated a campaign titled "Ima Nanji? Itoshi no My Darling" (イマナンジ？愛しのMyダーリン) to promote the single. The official Tsubaki Factory Twitter account tweeted out a button, and by pressing it, fans could promote the single and get a short greeting video from a Tsubaki Factory member.[10]
- Starting on September 30, Tsubaki Factory held a shop campaign to promote the single. Fans who purchased the single at TSUTAYA RECORDS, HMV, TOWER RECORDS, WonderGOO, Amazon, or Rakuten Books would get a special sticker as a bonus. TOWER RECORDS, HMV, and TSUTAYA RECORDS also each held their own shop campaigns where fans who purchase the single in store would receive a poster as a bonus.[11]
- On October 8, 2020, it was announced all of Ogata Risa's individual online release events through WithLIVE for the single have been cancelled as a result of her suspention, and tickets will be refunded.[12]
- This is currently their lowest selling major single, making Tsubaki Factory the only non-Morning Musume affiliated Hello! Project act to not have a major single that sold less copies than "Pyocopyoco Ultra".
