Trivia[]
- First single in 10 years without Takahashi Ai.
- This is the second single that Mitsui Aika won't be featured in the dance shot due to injury.
- "Pyoco" is an onomatopoeia word meaning to chirp or cluck like a Chick(en) or Hen in Niigaki Risa's case.
- As of translated katakana, the name would be "Pyoko Pyoko Ultra", but it is written "Pyocopyoco Ultra" on the covers, so this might be the correct title.
- While the regular edition has been released in the Japan iTunes store on the set release date, it was released in the US itunes store months later.
- This is Morning Musume's lowest selling single.
- This is the second debut single that has been postponed. The other is the 9th generation's debut single Maji Desu ka Ska!.
