Notes

Kami is credited as "Eternal Blood Relative", and would continue to be on all the band's subsequent releases. The cover art is of a Blue Morpho, as Kami was known for his love of butterflies. Also the interior of the booklet features pictures of him from a photoshoot for their single "Le Ciel". It also includes a picture of Mana, Kozi, and Yuki wearing mourning garb, and a poem in French. The album is a box set, with a VHS cassette containing video footage from some of their concerts set to the songs contained on the EP.
