According to inside source, it was Masha's idea to include 3-4 new songs in the album instead of releasing them as singles. The single market is in slump, most people tends to downloads instead of buying CD. Hence, he tries an innovative way to attracts buyers with a new type of CD (correction might needed).

Re-recording was done late at night since June. The old songs were given a new breath and it has shown how he has truly evolved an artist, just like the character he plays in Ryomaden.
