It was released in three versions: the regular edition with the album, a special edition with the album and two live DVDs, and another special edition with the album, four live albums and three blue rays.[1]
It sold over 53,000 copies within less than a week,[2] debuting at #1 both at the Oricon weekly charts and the Billboard Japan Top Albums Sales, staying in the former for 5 weeks and in the latter for 9.[3][4] In the end of the year, it reached #51 at the Billboard Japan Top Albums Sales Year End 2017[5] and #58 at Oricon's.[6]
Several songs of the album were used way ahead of its release date in anime, TV series and sports events. "Deathtopia" was released as a single on August 3, 2016, and both the song and its b-side "Chou Onsoku Desutini" (which is also the album's fourth track) were used as the opening themes of the anime Kuromukuro.[7] "Sora ga Aozora de Aru Tame ni" was also used as an opening theme for an anime: Ace of Diamond.[8] " The Other End of the Globe" was used as the opening theme for Netflix's Final Fantasy XIV: Daddy of Light.[9] "Scoop" was used as the ending theme of TV Asahi's Onegai! Ranking.[10]
"XYZ" was composed for the TV commercial of the Chiba leg of the 2017 Red Bull Air Race World Championship.[11] "Long Run" was used as the official song of the 2017 Hokkaido Marathon.[12] Also, "Supernova Express 2017" is a new version of the previously released song "Supernova Express 2016", which was used as the image song of Hokkaido Railway Company's Hokkaido Shinkansen.[13]
