Musicians Manami Kakudo and Yuichiro Kato also participated in the recording.
Additionally, it is said that Kicell aimed for the sound quality of this vinyl release during discussions with engineer Naoyuki Uchida about the sound production for "Kantenbōki." The cutting engineer for the vinyl record was Shigeru Takezawa of Nippon Columbia.
