eX-Girl , released on the PARANOIZ label in Japan (PAR-50024), and by KIKI Poo Records in the US (KPCD-001).The line-up consisted of Chihiro, Kirilo and Fuzuki, and the album was produced by
Hoppy Kamiyama .Several of the tracks are sung a capella apart from the odd chime, triangle or hand clap. Exceptions are "Zozoi" with its tribal-esque drumming, "Dandera Korabatten" with some repeated background instrumentation, and "Alabama Song" with a carnival-esque brass and clarinet arrangement.
