Peachberry draws inspiration from Moritaka's love of the Beatles' music, with some of the tracks recorded at Abbey Road Studios.[1] The song "Tony Slavin" is named after the Liverpool barber shop that the Beatles referenced in their 1967 song "Penny Lane".[4]
The album reached No. 4 on Oricon's albums chart and sold over 322,000 copies.[5][6] It was also Moritaka's last studio album to be certified Gold by the RIAJ.[7]
