Trivia[]

4th generation member Tsuji Nozomi commented on the single in a YouTube video for Morning Musume's 15 anniversary.^[1]
As of February 2016, the official music video is one of 46 music videos for a single that has reached over 1,000,000 views on Morning Musume's official YouTube channel.
In the original version, the members sang about the habits of the member, but in later concert performances with different line-ups, the members sang about themselves. It has multiple recorded versions: Ai no Dai 6 Kan, Rainbow 7, Dorimusu ①, ⑮ Thank you, too, and Teenage Solution / Yoshi Yoshi Shite Hoshii no / Beat no Wakusei, as well as the various concert performances.
During Iida Kaori's part, the members talked about how all older (former) members got married, and how she does a great job as the leader. Iida then shouted "But only until next year!". This referenced her graduation from the group in 2005.
This was the group's last single to receive a Gold Certification until the release of "One・Two・Three / The Matenrou Show" in 2012.
Ishikawa Rika and Fujimoto Miki are the centers for this single.
This is Morning Musume's first graduation single for more than one member.
A Morning Musume '21 version of the song, originally included in the Limited Edition SP1 of the group's 70th single "Teenage Solution / Yoshi Yoshi Shite Hoshii no / Beat no Wakusei", was released digitally on December 14, 2021.^[2]
