Trivia[]
- Gosenfu, or staff in English, is the set of five horizontal lines used as the foundation for musical notation and is meant to be reminiscent of the five members who formed Morning Musume. The song also creates an image of the succeeding members continuing to run a relay wearing a sash, or tasuki, passed from the original five.[12]
- This is their last single to feature 10th generation member Kudo Haruka.
