Track information
- The same year, Hirasawa composed the soundtrack to the anime film Paprika, which features "Parade" and "The Girl in Byakkoya - White Tiger Field" (白虎野の娘 Byakkoya no Musume). The latter is an alternate version of "Byakkoya - White Tiger Field" with slightly different lyrics and Lola's pitch altered to reflect a female voice.
- "Byakko - White Tiger" refers to the White Tiger of the West, a creature from Chinese mythology.
- A line from "Nurse Cafe", a song from SIREN, is the chorus to "Parade" in reverse.[1] Furthermore, the P-MODEL song "MONSTER A GO GO" (from the unproduced album MONSTER) can be heard in the ending fade out.
