Background Information

Producer: Mini Bus
Label: Clumsy Media
Type: Normal Full Album Type A
Development
Songs for this album first began recording in March 2013, with some originally intended for release with the group's first studio album "Beyond" (2013) but failed to pass the inital selection round. The new writing process for the album happened "mid-October during the stressful promotion period," as described by member Chun Takahashi, "after each schedule we gathered around each other and talked about the potential results for our next full release, and eventually new materials emerged."
Recording sessions for the album took place at the Clumsy Studios located at the headquarters of Clumsy Media in Tokyo, Japan. Award winning producer Mini Bus took over the overall creative control of the album, acting as the producer after being asked by group leader Sumire Kimura. Member Rie Kotobiki also actively contributed to the music direction, writing the lyrics to several tracks as well as ultimately the acting co-producer. The group worked with several song-writers on the album, including previous collaborators such as School Sounds, Johnny Suimako and DJ Karma.
Lyrics
According to the members themselves in a post-album-release interview, the album's lyrics explore themes of "social anxiety, stress, detachment, friendship and feelings of lost and nostalgia" but within "the perceptions of the minds of a teenager and young adult". Rie Kotobiki, who wrote most of the lyrics confessed that they were mostly influenced by "the sights the group experienced as a whole after debut".
