Background
Sheena began to record Shōso Strip from the summer of 1999. Since she thought that the track list was almost the same as Muzai Moratorium, she started with a clean slate. There were several songs which were not recorded because of the busy, but had been completed in her head. She decided to record those new songs and replaced some songs of the album with them. The recording was finished along with the summer after all.

- ↑ Sheena doesn’t mention the meaning of this song title in particular, but the English title is written as "Gips" in her official homepage. Gibusu (ギブス Gibs) or Gipusu (ギプス Gips), which originates in the German word "Gipsverband", means "an orthopedic cast" in Japanese.
- ↑ The literal translation is "Underdog and the Moon", which parodied the title of Hiroshige Ando’s ukiyoe, "Tsuki ni kari (月に雁 Wild Geese and the Moon)".
- ↑ "Sakana" can potentially refer to two Japanese words which are homophones with different meanings; either "fish" (as referenced in the lyrics of the song) or "snacks paired with alcohol" (as referenced by the song's English title).
- ↑ 5.0 5.1 Uwamono (上物) is musical instruments except rhythm section.
