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.
In 2012, the song "Tsuki ni Makeinu" was covered by Nanou on his album Unsung.
