Notes
Ranked #6 on the singles chart. 140,000 copies sold.
Single version and album version of a-side and b-side are different. "Kodo" single clocks in at 6:27, album at 6:52. "Rakuen" single clocks in at 4:50, album at 4:37.
The single's packagining is a textured material and the cover photo seems to be glued on.
Cover photo: "Study For Jerk Face One" by Robert Longo (1984), Courtesy Metro Pictures, arranged by Uniphoto Press.
The single was re-released on September 21, 1995 with different artwork that appears to be an inverse of the original artwork on black packaging. This was because "Rakuen" caused some controversy with the Japanese Muslim community as part of the melody was lifted from the reading of the Koran. The offense was supposedly removed and the album was re-released as well in September.
