  • Certificated Gold in the Chaku-uta full category.

Trivia

  • this was the first single to include Team K Members.
  • despite being released years ago, Aitakatta is being used as the opening theme of AKB's long-running Variety Show AKBINGO! (including AKB 1ji 59fun and AKB 0ji 59fun).
  • also thanks to AKB's boom, Aitakatta (being AKB's Signature Song) was promoted quite a lot. what made Aitakatta re-chart in the Oricon Weekly charts during late 2009 and 2010 as well as be certificated Gold for Digital Downloads (Chaku-uta full). it's not only surprising because Aitakatta was released almost 4 years ago, but also because the pressing for the single had stopped long time ago.
