Trivia

 * During the First Live performances of this song, Riko Sakurauchi participated in the song by having Rikako Aida playing the piano backing while the others performed. During the 4th Live performances, Rikako Aida instead joined the dance as a surprise, performing the song with a full 9-member choreography. Since then, all performances of the song after the 4th Live have followed the new choreography routine.
 * She learned how to play the piano with no background in just three months. Aside from her lessons with her teacher, she practiced for two hours at home daily.
 * During the Day 2 performance of this song, she fumbled the start of her piano solo and broke down in tears in a panic attack. The other members rushed up to comfort her and restarted the song shortly after with no further mishaps. Fans showed support by changing the color of their glow sticks to light pink─ Riko's image color. Due to this, the song was henceforth placed under an unofficial embargo during Aqours performances from 2017 to 2018, where it wasn't allowed to be performed at all until the 4th Live.
 * In the original version, the crowd holds all lightstick colors except light pink, while in both the 1st and 4th Live versions, the crowd holds mainly pink penlights (representing Riko's absence and addition to the song, respectively).
 * In Love Live! School idol festival ~after school ACTIVITY~, an animated music video of the 4th Live version is available to play if you select this song during Live Shows. Notably, Riko sings along with the other members of Aqours, corresponding with Rikako's vocals and dance positions as seen in the 4th Live. It was soon announced that a Riko solo version of the song would be included in her 2nd Solo album, and the 9 member version would be released as a bonus CD on the Aqours World LoveLive! BD in 2022.
 * The single sold 15,000 copies on day 1, 36,798 in the first week and 52,111 copies overall.
 * The piano version of this song is called "Riko's Piano Sonata", which can be seen here.
