Trivia

 * Standees of the HAPPY PARTY TRAIN art placed at AnimeJapan 2017 were stamped with both the Love Live! Sunshine!! and Izu-Hakone Railway Group logos, implying some form of collaboration either behind, or based on this single's theme.
 * The dancing stage in the PV is based on Bunngomori Rail Yard, established in 1934. It is recorded as part of the Heritage of Industrial Modernization by Japan . The rail yard is now a museum and hosts a JNR Class 9600 steam locomotive in the fashion shown in the PV , but the PV chose instead JNR Class D51 to base the "Happy Party Train" on.
 * The various scenes in the PV are based on Izuhakone Railway Sunzu Line . More specifically, Mishima Station and Izu-Nagaoka Station made appearances.
 * Mishima Station is at one end of the Sunzu line which connects to the shinkansen bullet trains, while Izu-Nagaoka Station is the station closest to Uchiura where the girls reside.
 * The order in which the members of Aqours sing their respective solo parts in this song matches the order they placed in the poll to determine the song's center.
 * Specifically: Kanan, Yoshiko, Hanamaru, Riko, You, Chika, Dia, Mari, Ruby
 * The single sold 23854 copies on the first day.
