Trivia[]
- "Taiki Bansei" was initially a track for Nakajima Takui's upcoming album, Renga no Ie. He was asked by staff to let ANGERME release the song as a single. A similar situation also occurred with ℃-ute's "Edo no Temari Uta II", Nakazawa Yuko's Junjou Koushinkyoku, and Fujimoto Miki's Okitegami.
- Because Nakajima gave full rights of the song to ANGERME, "Taiki Bansei" is not considered to be a cover single.
- A rearranged version of "Taiki Bansei" was later included on Nakajima's self-cover album GIRLS LOOK AHEAD.
- The single was announced on December 17, 2014 during their live tour concert finale.
- This is their first single, aside from My School March and SMILE FANTASY!, to not have lyrics written by Tsunku.
- Wada Ayaka said on her blog that Taiki Bansei MV is very pop and it includes her wink scene. Otome no Gyakushuu is very cute but dark.[24]
- MUSIC+ did a four-part feature from episodes 35-38 on the recording process for Taiki Bansei. The show also did a two-part feature on the composition process for Otome no Gyakushuu from episodes 39-40.
- The Promotion Edit for "Taiki Bansei" was released as a preview to H!P Station, but when finally released on their YouTube channel, it was re-edited and labelled as a New Ver. This is a similar situation to Berryz Koubou's Happiness ~Koufuku Kangei!~ MV.
- The first 3 solo lines of "Otome no Gyakushuu" are sung by the oldest member of each generation; Ayaka (1st Gen), Kana (2nd Gen), and Mizuki (3rd Gen).
- The chorus lines for "Otome no Gyakushuu" are split between the oldest member and youngest members of each generation; Ayaka, Kana, Akari and Mizuki are in one group, while Kanon, Rina, Meimi, Maho and Rikako are in the other.
- This is their first single to sell more than 40,000 copies.
- This is their second single to top the Oricon daily chart.
- This was their highest selling first day until the release of Nana Korobi Ya Oki / Gashin Shoutan / Mahou Tsukai Sally.
- This was their highest selling single until the release of Tsugitsugi Zokuzoku / Itoshima Distance / Koi Nara Tokku ni Hajimatteru.
- Murota Mizuki is the only member of the 3rd generation to have solo lines in this single.
- After Murota Mizuki's graduation, Kamikokuryo Moe and Matsumoto Wakana took her lines.
- As of July 2018, the official music video for "Taiki Bansei" has over 2,000,000 views.
- As of July 2018, the official music video for "Otome no Gyakushuu" has over 1,000,000 views.
