The intro from "74 Okubun no 1 no Kimi e" is notable for having similarities with "Octavarium", from American progressive metal band Dream Theater.

When the full version from "74 Okubun no 1 no Kimi e" music video releases (September 6, on Eastern Time), Chihiro Anai was graduated from the group after participating from her last activity as idol, on July 30, 2016.

The B-side "Einstein yori Dianna Agron" (NakoMiku & MeroMio), written by group creator Yasushi Akimoto, was a subject of much controversy and received several negative reviews in social media for its themes and messages about the role of young women in society.

[13][14] In their paper "Manufacturing Identity: Femininity, Discourse and Representation in Japanese Popular Music" (as published as chapter ten of Music in the Making of Modern Japan: Essays on Reception, Transformation and Cultural Flows), Ayako Ōtomo and Aya Satō noted that while Japanese idol groups had originated as a form of modernization, the HKT48 group was an example of persistent social conservatism, which they said "Einstein yori Dianna Agron" exemplified; they wrote that the song "functions as an externally imposed deformation of female identity, even as Japanese society is, in many ways, attempting to move past such hidebound conservatism."
