* All lyrics by Kyo.
- The kanji of the seventh track are printed in reverse on the packaging, transliterating as "Mitsu to Tsuba" (honey and saliva). "Tsumi to Batsu" (crime and punishment) is considered the official title though and this peculiarity can be considered an example for lyricist Kyo's penchant for wordplay.
- "Raison Detre" is French for "reason to be", the correct spelling being "raison d'être". "Mazohyst" is likely to be a misspelling of "masochist".
- The majority of "Gauze -Mode of Eve-" is actually contained at the end of the previous track (see hidden track) and it lasts about one minute and nine seconds.
- The album's tracklist numbers, as well as parts of the title and lyrics of "Schwein no Isu" are in German.
- The woman depicted in the booklet art for the album appears to be a character from the Gilgamesh Manga. She is made recognizable by her tuning fork.
