Trivia

• Released 560 days (approximately 1.5 years) after the previous AKB48 single, Shitsuren, Arigatou. This is the largest gap between singles since AKB48's debut.
• First AKB48 single to not include sister group members since Chance no Junban (2010).
  • At 18 members, this also marks the largest number of AKB48 members in Senbatsu since Negaigoto no Mochigusare (2017).
• First Senbatsu of Chiba Erii, Nishikawa Rei, Taniguchi Megu and Yokoyama Yui (Team 8).
• Some members returned to senbatsu after not being included for a period of time:
  • Kuranoo Narumi's first senbatsu since Sustainable (2019).
  • Shitao Miu's first senbatsu since Jiwaru DAYS (2019).
  • Honda Hitomi's first senbatsu since NO WAY MAN (2018). Additionally this is her first single since returning from IZONE.
  • Onishi Momoka's first senbatsu since Shoot Sign (2017).
• With the exception of Omori Maho, Yahagi Moeka, Rissen Airi and Suzuki Yuka, this is the first single participation of AKB48 3rd Generation draftees and Team 8 members who joined after the AKB48 12th Anniversary Shuffle.
• Hanareteitemo was previously released as a charity single in 2020, performed by all AKB48 members at the time of release. In this single version, only the AKB48 senbatsu members from Shitsuren, Arigatou and graduates are credited as performing members.
• Seikoutoutei is Team 8's first B-side since Yume e no Route to feature all of its current members.
  • The lyrics for Seikoutoutei were sent to Muto Tomu for final checking, as the lyrics are related to weather and she has a rare qualification for weather forecasting.
• In this single, the terms First Generation and Second Generation have a different meaning than they usually do. They are usually used to describe the original Team A and original Team K members, respectively.
  • Here, "First Generation" describes members who debuted in 2013 or earlier (1st-15th gen, Draft 1st). Nakanishi Chiyori is also included in this lineup, as she debuted with HKT48 in 2011. Members that were already selected for senbatsu are not included in the coupling track lineup.
  • Here, "Second Generation" describes members who debuted in 2014 or later (16th gen, Draft 2nd-3rd, Ma Chia-Ling).
  • The 2021 Request Hour also used this classification for their final-day concerts. Team 8 members were considered Second Generation since they debuted in 2014 at the earliest.
• First AKB48 single to sell less than 1 million physical copies on the first day since Shoot Sign (2017), and less than 1 million physical copies in the first week since Kuchibiru ni Be My Baby (2015).
  • Additionally, lowest first day and first week sales since Sakura no Shiori (2010).
• Last single and Senbatsu of Yokoyama Yui (Team A), Yokoyama Yui (Team 8), Nishikawa Rei, and Kubo Satone.
• Last single of Miyazaki Miho, Oya Shizuka, Iriyama Anna, and Kato Rena.
• Kashiwagi Yuki was absent from the dance sequences due to medical treatment and surgery for syringomyelia. Oda Erina stood for her in the MV.
• In November 2021, the official Recording Industry Association of Japan awards this single the Double Platinum certification, confirming that the single has sold over 500,000 copies.
• Placed 19th on Oricon's Year End Charts of 2021 with 412,868 sales.
• Placed 96th on Oricon's Year End Charts of 2022.
