The album was originally scheduled for U.S. release on September 27, 2005, by the now bankrupt and defunct Sanctuary Records.

It has been speculated that the U.S. release delay has to do with contractual difficulties between the artists and their various record labels. It is currently only available for purchase by ordering it from Japan.
