Background
Sheena began to record Shōso Strip from the summer of 1999. Since she thought that the track list was almost the same as Muzai Moratorium, she started with a clean slate. There were several songs which were not recorded because of her busy schedule,[clarification needed] but had been completed in her head. She decided to record new songs and replaced some of those old songs for the album with them. The recording was finished during that same summer.[clarification needed]
In 2012, the song "Tsuki ni Makeinu" was covered by Nanou on his album Unsung.
