Outline

This album developed from the production of the sound track for the movie "Sakuran" (さくらん), and substitutes for the sound track.

Shiina Ringo intended to make the music that was considerably processed at the start.She intended to make an album like this first, and then next she was going to reconstitute the sound selected from that by a computer.She made some instrumental demos, but she understood that she wasn't requested to make such a sound from the director side at all.The director demanded songs with lyrics.Therefore, she decided to record some her songs of which she got Saito Neko to write the score before for the orchestra of live in the studio taking advantage of this opportunity.Anyway, she was going to record them some time.As a result, she made this album instead of the sound track, and offered the movie some songs as they were from this.

She was going to make this album as Tokyo Jihen, but canceled the plan because Hata Toshiki, who is a drummer of Tokyo Jihen, had broken his leg bone.However, the band members except him participated in this album. Ukigumo played "Gamble" with an electric guitar. In addition, he wrote "Oiran". Izawa Ichiyou played "Gamble" with a piano. Kameda Seiji arranged "Yokushitsu".
