==Trivia==
*The tracks "Une idole" and "Hot Latte" have music videos that were previously released on her YouTube channel.
*Wada noticed that her relationship to her mother has changed with age. She's also seen her friends became mothers. The track "mama" was written to capture the ways in which her perception of motherhood has evolved over time.https://twitter.com/ayakawada/status/1456999824130117635
*Bassist Tsurugi Mikito is the same Hello! Project fan whose life was depicted in the film Ano Koro.
*"Statice" is another name for the Limonium sinuatum plant, also sometimes called Sea Lavender in English. In hanakotoba, Japanese flower language, the Statice represents a heart that cannot be changed. It is commonly used to express remembrance.
*A Zine dubbed a "lyric sheet" was distributed at the release event for this album. Wada selected all of the elements of the zine, from the images used to the paper it was printed upon.和田彩花こだわりの一品、初ソロアルバム「私的礼讃」の全歌詞記したZINE制作 (in Japanese). Natalie.mu. 2021-11-23.
*Narahara Eisuke published liner notes for Miyashita Park on his social media account. He noted that he wanted to provide a more up-tempo song, since there weren't many at the time he was brought on to the album. He wanted to write a song that could bridge Hello! Project fans into Wada's indie sound. His image of Hello! Project music led him to consider genres that could encorporate disco funk with the signature 16 beat rhythm. After choosing Acid Jazz, he looked to inspiration from the soundtracks of Cowboy Bebop, Ghost in the Shell, and video game series Megami Tensei and Persona. The shift into the chorus was inspired by songs like Morning Musume's Ren'ai Hunter and the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Right on Time. The working title was Acid Jazz Yuu (アシッドジャズ雄).和田彩花「みやしたぱーく」セルフライナーノーツ (in Japanese). Note.com:EisukeNarahara'21. 2021-12.10.
