Trivia[]
- This PV was filmed while Kusumi Koharu was recovering from an emergency appendectomy. As a result, she is missing from most of the shots of the group. Takahashi Ai and Kamei Eri re-recorded their parts with Kusumi in a smaller session with less-aggressive choreography to be mindful of her limited mobility.[1]
- Yoshizawa Hitomi is the center for this single.
- 4th generation member Yoshizawa Hitomi gives a comment about the single on YouTube.
- This is the seventh and last single where Yoshizawa Hitomi was leader of Morning Musume. This is also last single to feature Yoshizawa Hitomi and Fujimoto Miki, and the last single before the addition of eighth generation members Junjun and Linlin as foreign students.
