[edit] Notes
- The kanji of the seventh track are printed in reverse on the packaging, transliterating as "mitsu to tsuba" (honey and saliva). "Tsumi to batsu" (crime and punishment) is considered the official title though and this peculiarity can be considered an example for lyricist Kyo's penchant for wordplay.
- "Raison detre" is French for "reason of being", the correct spelling being "raison d'être". "Mazohyst" is likely to be a misspelling of "masochist".
- The bigger part of "GAUZE -mode of eve-" is actually contained at the end of the previous track (see hidden track) and it lasts about 1:09 in its entirety.
- The album's tracklist numbers, as well as parts of the lyrics in "Schwein NO ISU" are in German.
