Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • Each copy of the single came with an A3 size poster.
  • A dance rehearsal version of the title track was uploaded to Morning Musume's official YouTube channel.
  • Two temporary versions of the music video were uploaded to their official YouTube channel. One is labeled as "Temporary version", while the other one is label as "Verge of Completion version."
  • Ishida Ayumi is not featured in the dance shot for the "temporary version" music video due to an injury.

  • It reached #1 on the Oricon daily charts in its first week. The single also ranked #89 on the Oricon yearly chart for 2012.
  • According to Suzuki Kanon, she noticed that Ren'ai Hunter, One・Two・Three, and Wakuteka Take a chance are linked together to make a little story. While Ren'ai Hunter is about the developing feelings and One・Two・Three is about waiting for the lover to make a move, Wakuteka Take a chance is about taking a chance and making the move yourself.[2]
  • There are 2 shots that were not used in the official video: the initial version of the dance shot in which Ishida Ayumi does not participate, and the group shot.
  • Sato Masaki and Iikubo Haruna made videos to encourage the English and French speaking audience to make videos of their Wakuteka Take a chance dance numbers like they have done for One・Two・Three. Suzuki Kanon also mentioned it in a video.
  • On the day of the release, ℃-ute's official YouTube channel posted a video of Team Okai covering "Wakuteka Take a chance". On the same day, the Up Up Girls (Kakko Kari) official YouTube channel posted a cover of the song by Up Up Girls (Kakko Kari) and THE Possible.
  • On October 17, Morning Musume's official YouTube channel posted a solo dance shot featuring only 11th Generation member Oda Sakura, who joined after the single's release. Unlike the group dance shot, it mainly focuses from the waist up. This version was featured in the Limited Edition C DVD of their 52nd single, Help me!!.
  • As of February 2016, the official music video is 1 of 46 music videos for a single that has reached over 1,000,000 views on Morning Musume's official YouTube channel.
