==Comments==
Tsunku's comments: "I've held a special event for those who have been very supportive of Michiyo Heike, Morning Musume, Taiyo To Ciscomoon, and Coconut Musume. It's like an event to return favors to the fans. Last summer and this January, we've held the collective concerts. I felt very special when I saw the members who seldom saw each other gathered together and made efforts to create one great show. My theme for this time is, "How do I express the same energy into the sound?" The unit consists of Yaguchi and Iida from Tanpopo, Ichii who has become hugely successful in Petitmoni, Inaba who can dance very well in Taiyou to Ciscomoon, Kominato who has returned from her illness [he is referring to her absence from Taiyou to Ciscomoon's 6th single], Mika from Coconuts Musume, and Lehua who is a brand new member. I am expecting a huge growth from each performer. The reason I named the unit Ao (= blue) was because of its fresh, speedy image. The unit has many girls, but that's why the energy and speed literally jumps out of them and reach out to people. I hope they can perform digital-punk style well. I'm sure they will do fine though."
==Trivia==
*Sharam Q member is featured in the music video.
*The B-side is the opening and ending theme to Hello! Project’s talk show Hello! Morning. Originally sung by all the girls, but the version on this single is sung by only the girls in Aoiro 7.
*1st press: one out of three trading cards.
*In 2023, Taiyou to Ciscomoon asked fans to suggest Hello! Project songs for them to cover at an upcoming live. Kominato Miwa took to twitter to tell they got many requests for Kiiroi Osora de BOOM BOOM BOOM] and Akai Nikkichou, but almost none for "Aoi Sports Car no Otoko".https://twitter.com/komix215/status/1620041282088493056
