Notes:

• The CD comes with bonus content - a teaser MPEG of footage from the Rolling Debut Revue CANADA USA Tour 2002 DVD.
• The music video for "Akai Buranko" is available on Funclips Funclub.
• The musical backing of "Asia no Junshin" (especially the descending guitar line) is similar to the old ELO hit "Don't Bring Me Down."
• The instrumental middle of "Asia no Junshin ~English Version~" is different than that of the original Japanese version.
• Also, unlike most Puffy songs that have English and Japanese versions, the lyrics to “Asia no Junshin (English Version)” seem to be a fairly straightforward translation of the original Japanese lyrics.
