Trivia[]
- The single was announced on January 1, 2025.[1]
- "Kon'ya wa Hearty Party" was previously performed and its promotion edit was released on November 19, 2024 to commemorate the anniversary of the original song.
- It is also the group's second cover of a Takeuchi Mariya song, following "Plastic Love" in 2021, and fifth single to include a cover song.
- This is the first single to include Kawashima Mifu despite her debut in 2023. She had been on hiatus from October 2023 to April 2024 due to sudden hearing loss, and was unable to participate in various activities during her period of rest, including the group's previous single.
- This is Dambara Ruru and Inoue Rei's first single as leader and sub-leader, respectively.
- This is also the first single to not feature Uemura Akari, making this the group's first single without a founding member of Juice=Juice.
- Irie Risa was unable to participate in the Promotion Edit MV of "Kon'ya wa Hearty Party" due to her recovering from her panic disorder during the production period.[2][3][4] However, her vocals were still recorded, and they will be included in the CD's release.[5]
