Trivia

First AKB48 Senbatsu of Miyawaki Sakura.
The first single that did not feature Maeda Atsuko, who had been a top member of AKB48 since the group was created.
Watanabe Mayu was originally supposed to be center with Matsui Jurina. Because of the difficult choreography, the double center was changed to Matsui Jurina and Oshima Yuko.
This is the tenth AKB48 single; after Beginner, Sakura no Ki ni Narou, Everyday, Katyusha, Flying Get, Kaze wa Fuiteiru, Ue Kara Mariko, GIVE ME FIVE!, Manatsu no Sounds Good!, and Gingham Check; to sell 1,000,000 copies.
This is the eighth AKB48 single; after Everyday, Katyusha, Flying Get, Kaze wa Fuiteiru, Ue Kara Mariko, GIVE ME FIVE!, Manatsu no Sounds Good!, and Gingham Check; to sell 1,000,000 copies on the first week.
