==Trivia==
*The album was announced on The Girls Live on October 1, 2018.https://twitter.com/chantake20/status/1046805517920817152
*A month before the official announcement, information about the album including the correct release date and product codes were leaked on Twitter.https://twitter.com/maachelchii18/status/1038724973735567360
*"Hyoumenchouryoku ~Surface Tension~", written by Team Tobimatsu (Tobimatsu Koyu, Kamosori Makoto, Moribe Taiyo), was the runner-up song from Co-Write Battle held by music-ru TV in spring 2018."コライトバトルから誕生した「表面張力～Surface Tension～」がつばきファクトリーの新曲に採用！" (in Japanese). music-ru TV. 2018-10-16. The winning song would be released as J☆Dee'Z's eighth single,"専門学校生対抗！楽曲制作対決「コライトバトル」" (in Japanese). music-ru TV. but Team Tobimatsu lost to the other finalists.music-ru TV. TV Asahi. Broadcast: 2018-04-10.https://twitter.com/kodamameko/status/983491286475857921
**Earlier drafts of the song used the English title "Surface Tension" until Hyadain pointed out that it sounded like "service tenchou" (サービス店長; service store manager). Kodama Ameko, who was Team Tobimatsu's assistant lyricist, then changed it to "Hyoumenchouryoku" for the final draft. When it was decided that Tsubaki Factory would release the song, the Japanese and English titles were both kept in the final title.Asakura Kiki. "ついに、、！浅倉樹々" (in Japanese).
