Trivia

• The Good Morning NYC PV was filmed on and specifically for the show.
• At the beginning of each episode, the show's comical host, Akira, would play a game with the members to pick one so they could open up the show by saying the show's title. He would sometimes make them jump in front of the camera to yell it out or hold a roll of toilet paper (and other various silly things)
