[edit] Notes
- "Time is Dead" is a re-written version of "Sexual" (later called "Sexual Parvarsion") from their 1989 demo "Lunacy".
- "Shade" was re-recorded from their 1989 demo of the same name.
- "Kagirinaku Tōmei ni Chikai Burū" (限りなく 透明に 近い ブルー) translates as "Almost Transparent Blue" and comes from the Ryū Murakami novel of the same name, Almost Transparent Blue.
- A longer, reworked version of "Moon" was recorded for their second album Image. It is notable that the version of "Moon" that appears on the 2011 re-recording is of the longer one.
- "Precious..." was re-recorded for the 2000 compilation album Period -the Best Selection-. It was also covered by Merry for the 2007 Luna Sea Memorial Cover Album -Re:birth-.
