Notes:

• "Oriental Diamond" was the theme song for ANA's ad campaign celebrating 20 years of flights to China; "Kuchibiru Motion," like "Otomemoriau" before it, was the theme for a Lavshuca TV spot.
• The first few seconds of "Oriental Diamond's" opening guitar riff are nearly identical to the guitar riff that opens the single version of The Beatles' "Revolution."
• The vocal melody during the verses of "Neji Potion" is somewhat similar to Hazumu Rhythm, which was also composed by Nargo of the Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra.
