Trivia[]
- The single was announced on June 12, 2020, during the livestream of the ANGERME Concert Tour 2018 Haru Juunin Toiro + Final on the official ANGERME YouTube channel. A short version of the music video for "Kagiriaru Moment" was also revealed.[14]
- The recording and filming of the songs and music videos were done before the government's emergency declaration was issued in early April due to the spread of the COVID-19 infection.[14]
- Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, autograph signing sessions and other events for the single were done virtually through the internet. This is the second Hello! Project single promoted this way after Juice=Juice's "Pop Music / Suki tte Itte yo".
- On August 27, 2020, ANGERME held a mini-live release event with no audience, which was live streamed for fans who purchased one of the regular editions at the Pony Canyon Shopping Club.[15]
- This is the first single since "Uchouten LOVE" to not feature the 2nd generation members Nakanishi Kana and Katsuta Rina, since "SMILE FANTASY!" to not feature 3rd generation member Murota Mizuki, and since "Tade Kuu Mushi mo Like it! / 46okunen LOVE" to not feature 7th generation member Oota Haruka.
- The MV for "Mirror Mirror" was uploaded on 8/8 at 8:08 AM JST. The mirrored date and time is a reference to the song title.
- Hashisako Rin is the only participating member not to receive any solo lines throughout the two songs.
