  • This is their first single to be released in January since "Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa / Kimi no Kawari wa Iyashinai / What is LOVE?" on January 29, 2014.

  • "LOVEpedia" and "Ningen Kankei No way way" have the same melody, but different lyrics and arrangements.[1]
    • "LOVEpedia" was written first about a year before the single's release under the title "LOVE Typhoon" (LOVEタイフーン). Kodama Ameko had to change the title due to Typhoon No.19 (Hagibis) at the last minute, but wrote the lyrics for "Ningen Kankei No way way" just in case the new title "LOVEpedia" was not approved.[13][14][15] Hirata Shoichiro was already in the midst of arranging "LOVEpedia" when the office unexpectedly approved "Ningen Kankei No way way" as well.[16]

  • For the "LOVEpedia" costumes, the 15th generation members have their member colors as accents on their white costumes, while the 9th-14th generation scenes have backgrounds or key items in their respective member colors (example; Makino Maria's pink baseball glove and bat, or Ikuta Erina's yellow-green sparkles from her wand).
  • In the "LOVEpedia" MV, the 9th-14th generation members are each described with a form of love. In order of appearance:
