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.
