Notes

• "蝕紅" offers several ways of romanization, namely "Shokubeni" and "Syokubeni" (a variation utilizing Kunrei-shiki romanization). "Syokubeni" was once used on Dir En Grey's official site, although mention in most other media (including release booklets) the Hepburn romanization style is used, giving the title as "Shokubeni".
• A re-recording of "Shokubeni" appears as a b-side on their 2009 single "Hageshisa to, Kono Mune no Naka de Karamitsuita Shakunetsu no Yami", recorded only in one take.[9]
• A re-recording of "Obscure" appears as a b-side on their 2011 single "Lotus".[10]
• A re-recording of "Kasumi" appears on their 2013 mini-album The Unraveling.[11]
