==Trivia==
*A different version of "Darling I LOVE YOU" performed by Berryz Koubou appeared as the B-side of their single, Dschinghis Khan.
*"Juliet Juliet" is the original version of "Namida no Iro". The song received an overhaul in lyrics and dance, and was released as "Namida no Iro" at the last second. An updated version of "Juliet Juliet" was performed for the first time during the ℃-ute Concert Tour 2012~2013 Fuyu ~Shinseinaru Pentagram~ using the same backing track as the 2012 Shinsei Naru Ver. of "Namida no Iro". The original recording, with the same music track as the original "Namida no Iro" single, was released in 2017 on ℃-ute's final album, ℃OMPLETE SINGLE COLLECTION.
