*"25sai Eien Setsu" is a reference to the fan theory named "25sai Teinen Setsu" (25歳定年説; Age 25 Retirement Theory) that was fueled in late 2018 by the graduation announcements of Iikubo Haruna, Wada Ayaka and Miyazaki, the three oldest Hello! Project members at time, which re-enforced some fans' beliefs that female idols are pressured to graduate before or when they turn age 25."OGを含めた年の差は34歳！　ハロプロメンバー学年別分類2018年版" (in Japanese). Real Sound. 2018-04-02.
