Originally released on July 16, 1999 via MCA Victor, this album is the fifth studio album by bloodthirsty butchers—a timeless masterpiece in the history of Japanese alternative rock.

The release also includes a special bonus: a color 7-inch vinyl (33 RPM) of the band’s first-ever maxi single “△ (SANKAKU)”, originally released as an advance cut on June 30, 1999. This marks the first vinyl pressing of the single, making this a truly special edition for fans and collectors alike.
