The release was announced on June 9, 2013 during a release event for the band's latest single "Te o Tsunagō / Kindan no Karma", held at Lazona Kawasaki Plaza Ruefer Square Grand Stage (in Kanagawa Prefecture). It was announced that it would be the band's "first full album" and it would contain the songs from their first four major-label singles, a cover of Yellow Magic Orchestra's "Taiso" and some newly written songs, 14 tracks in total.[4][5][6][7][8]
The album was released in 3 editions: Limited Edition Ē (CD+DVD), Limited Edition Bī (CD+DVD), and Subculture Edition (CD). The Subculture Edition had a limited first press version. The Limited Editions and the first press limited version of the Subculture Edition included bonuses: a trading card (randomly selected from a set of 9 that includes a card for each member) and an application leaflet (応募チラシ).
