Trivia

• When the album was first announced, online music shops such as HMV, Shisendo, etc... listed the contents of the DVD of the Regular Edition as previously unreleased Making Off Videos of 6~7 songs. most likely those from Iwake Maybe until Sakura no Shiori since any of those making off clips had been released so far, and including B-sides's PV, the total of unreleased making videos is 8.
• the CD cover, backcover, and obi of both Regular Edition and Theatre Edition have a holofoil printed over it. the Theatre Edition has it printed in all the 11 resting covers as well.
