Trivia[]
- The album was announced on August 15, 2024 at a release event of the group's 74th single "Nandaka Sentimental na Toki no Uta / SaiKIYOU".[9] The album title and release date were announced at the opening concert of the Morning Musume '24 Concert Tour Aki WE CAN DANCE ! on September 14, along with the first performances of "Yuukan na Dance", "Koibito", and "Mukasuki!".[10]
- "Mukasuki!" is a pun on ムカつき (mukatsuki; disgust/frustration) and 好き (suki, like).
- Yumigeta Ako is absent from the music video and close-up version of "Yuukan na Dance" due to its recording taking place when she was absent from her activities because to poor health.
- Former Morning Musume member Ichii Sayaka said she loves "Shiawase Shisuu Happyou Saretai", and that it is always playing in her head. [11]
