Trivia[]
- The album was announced at the first show of the ℃-ute Concert Tour 2015 Aki ~℃an't STOP!!~ on October 17, 2015.
- "Jounetsu Ecstasy" by Nakamura Yoshiki was one of the demo songs for the music-ru TV contest that KOUGA (the composer of "Gamusha LIFE") won. The YouTube video of the song has been set to private since the album information was released.
- The instrumental of "Urayanjau" is used in the introduction and the instrumental of "Digitalic→0 (LOVE)" is used in the opening of Hello! Project Station from January 27, 2016 (Episode #153) to March 29, 2017 (Episode #213).

- Okai Chisato: Otoko to Onna to Forever
