Trivia

• Ponytail to Shushu's Music Clip and Jacket shotting were done overseas, in Guam.
• Once again, all AKB48 Members (+ 3 SKE48 Members) participate in the single
• This was the first time the Theatre Girls got an Original Song
• This was the second single after Sakura no Shiori with 2 regular editions.
• Also following Sakura no Shiori, the covers features only a few senbatsu members in each of them instead of a full senbatsu picture as in the Theatre Edition. (in difference with Sakura no Shiori where all the covers including the Theatre edition had only 3 senbatsu members in each jacket)
• first time an SDN48 Member is part of an AKB48 song.
