Trivia
- "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari" features each of the 14 Morning Musume members highlighted in a stanza. Humorously, Yaguchi Mari is made fun of her "Sexy Beam" (from Koi no Dance Site) having not manifested, as well as Iida Kaori made fun of because she alone among her friends is not married.
- Many members have graduated since this single was first released. A new version called "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari 2" (sans Tsuji and Kago) was released as track 12 on Morning Musume's sixth album Ai no Dai 6 Kan.
- In spring of 2005, a live version of "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari 2" was performed live at Morning Musume concerts where graduated members Goto Maki and Abe Natsumi sang verses as well.
- A third version of this song (appropriately titled "Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari 3") was released on Morning Musume's 7th album, Rainbow 7. This version had a slightly different instrumental than the first two, featuring a harmonica as the lead instead of a sax, and also featured seventh generation member Kusumi Koharu.
