It was released on June 4, 2014.[1] It finished 4th on the Oricon weekly chart, and also Billboard Japan, with 18,376 copies sold.[2][3] The album was created with a concept of surrealism and features many references to Dada, Avant-garde, the Cabaret Voltaire and others.[4][5][6] According to Hisashi Imai, the title of the album is actually a subtitle only, the main title is a long blank space, indicating that "it is something that cannot be seen, heard, read, or written. Impossible to pronounce. A thing that is not metaphysical."[7]
