Issued in stickered DigiPak with clear tray and insert which includes the LYRICS (English and Japanese) and a ‘Special Talk’ section (Japanese only). Paint Chip is a bonus track exclusive to this edition.

Rick Lee (Skeleton Key/Butter 08), Vivien Trimble (ex-Luscious Jackson), Mike D, Miho Hatori (Cibo Matto), Pete Rock“.

The song Comfortable Place is used in a TV advertising campaign for Ukrainian confectionery manufacturer Roshen and appears in at least four different adverts (Шоколад молочный / Шоколад черный / [Taxi]* / [Rain]*) which can be seen in the Promotional Materials section of Roshen.com.
