[edit] Notes
- The album's tracklist numbers and the lyrics of the first track are in Russian.
- The melody for "Deity" appears to be derived from a portion of Johannes Brahms' Hungarian Dance No. 5.
- In deviation with its official romanization, the kanji title of track three transliterates as "riyû", yet both "riyû" (理由) and "wake" (訳) can mean "reason".
- "egnirys cimredopyh" is hypodermic syringe spelled backwards.
- There are alternate romanizations for the title of track six, "hotarubi" and "keika". Both translate as "light of the firefly".
