Trivia
- The single was officially announced in the September 7, 2016 episode of Hello! Project Station.[8] However, an anonymous user on 2ch leaked the single a week before, including the correct track titles, release date, and songwriter information.[9]
- The "Ai no Tame Kyou Made Shinkashite Kita Ningen, Ai no Tame Subete Taikashite Kita Ningen" music video was filmed in the Oya History Museum, an old stone mine in Tochigi Prefecture.[10]
- This is the first single since "Uchouten LOVE" to not feature 2nd generation member Tamura Meimi.
