Trivia

• The song "Broken English" on this album is a cover of a song originally by Marianne Faithfull, and is the music accompanying the original version of the first trailer of Hellsing (OVA) as shown at Anime Expo 2005. The song was later used in the series proper as an insert song for episode 5.
