- In Japanese, track 12 was titled "Hikari no Ato" (光の跡; lit. 'Traces of Light') on its 2023 single release, but was renamed to its English name ("Why") for inclusion on the album.
- The limited edition vinyl is a double album that splits the track listing into two discs between "Fushigi" and "Memories". Disc one and two are split into four sides between "Glitch"/"Comedy" and "Life"/"Eden", respectively.
