==Critical Response==
Hiraga Tetsuo, a writer for hotexpress, noted that when watching the music video for the first time he felt that the song was a declaration of war against other idol groups, namely the current leader of the idol scene, AKB48. When listening to the song, he stated that a characteristic for Tsunku is a mix of disco and pop, and the reviewer was really impressed by how much talent Hello! Project has, each girl having her distinctive voice, look, and manner of expression.
==Trivia==
*In the close-up scenes, all the major group leaders, Berryz Koubou's captain Shimizu Saki, and Mano Erina were noted to make a "funny" face, while everyone else just smiled.
*This was the highest selling Hello! Project single in 2011.
*This is the last single to feature the now S/mileage / ANGERME 2nd generation (and Hello Pro Kenshuusei member Kosuga Fuyuka) as sub-members.
* duo covered "Moshimo..." for their album .
*Inaba Manaka released a solo cover of "Moshimo..." as a digital single to commemorate her graduation from Juice=Juice.
*Yamagishi Riko released a solo cover of "Kacchoii Uta" as a digital single to commemorate her graduation from Tsubaki Factory.
