Trivia[]
- The song "one day" was also a song on Pour Lui's solo album, Minna no Pour Lui. She also performed "Let me sleep" during her time as a solo artist, but never recorded the song. The composer of "Let me sleep", megane, was the bassist for Pour Lui's live band during her time as a solo artist.
- Nerve would later be released as a single.
- The choreography for "Paprika" has been changed over the years, with the original featuring constant headbanging throughout the song, and an on-stage kiss between members (known among BiS fans as the "Deep Kiss"). The headbanging was replaced with squats during the second generation of BiS, possibly due to safety concerns - Yokoyama Rina fell off stage on multiple occasions due to dizziness caused by headbanging.
- Researchers would replicate the Deep Kiss among each other during "Paprika", Pictures of male Researchers performing the Deep Kiss together went viral during 2011.
- The squatting later became a popular challenge within WACK, with it being done during concerts, as elimination redemption challenges during auditions, and as a personal challenge done by fans. One notable instance was when BiS did squats on stage as the song played repeatedly for 15 minutes straight, to protest Pour Lui's suspension from the group. When songs from BiS' first and second generations were retired in 2019, Thousand crickets replaced it as the song associated with squatting challenges.
- The music video for "Paprika" and the Deep Kiss are an a homage to the Russian pop duo t.A.T.u, with their name even being referenced in the title of the video.
- The music videos for "BiS" and "nerve" were filmed on locations without obtaining permission. On both occasions, the group were approached by security and asked to stop filming.
- The official Japanese translation of the lyrics to "Let it be" were made available as a Note on Watanabe Junnosuke's personal Facebook page.
