• Ponytail to Shushu placed as 5# in the Oricon Yearly Single Ranking for 2010.

Trivia

• Ponytail to Shushu's Music Clip and Jacket shooting were done overseas, in Guam.
• Once again, all AKB48 Members (+ 3 SKE48 Members) participate in the single
• This was the first time the Theater 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 Theater Edition. (in difference with Sakura no Shiori where all the covers including the Theater edition had only 3 Senbatsu members in each jacket)
• First and only time an SDN48 Member is part of an AKB48 song
