==Trivia==
* also released his own version of "Okitegami" at the same time as Fujimoto Miki's version. Fujimoto's response about this was that she was looking forward to the chart battle with him. She also added: "This song was really difficult. It was different from what I used to sing until now, so please look forward for this new Fujimoto Miki. My mom told me not to cause any trouble to Horiuchi-san." They both later did a duet of the song on the show The M, with him singing the first half, and her singing the second half. This is the same marketing gimmick used by for Nakazawa Yuko's release of Junjou Koushinkyoku, as well as ℃-ute's release of Edo no Temari Uta II.
* "Okitegami" is Fujimoto Miki's first enka single. At several forums, it was speculated that the single was originally intended for enka singer Maeda Yuki, as she released one single per year except in 2008. Some also speculated that might have been originally intended for Nakazawa Yuko, as the composer was the same one who worked on her debut single and she performed the song at her birthday event later that year. However, the latter evidence seems to have been a mistranslation, since Nakazawa's setlist was created by the fanclub members' requests and featured covers of other Hello! Project acts.
*Fujimoto appears in Horiuchi Takao's music video for his version of the single.
