Furthermore, the limited edition first press version of the album will include the bonus track, a self-remixed version of "Bach no Senritsu wo Yoru ni Kiita Sei desu."

There will be an album preview listening party held at Tokyo's Liquidroom Ebisu on the 8th of March. Similar to what they did for DocumentaLy's release, all songs will be revealed for the first time to public during the listening party.
