Regarding Eternal Paralysis:
"At the time I recorded this, all the attention was focused on the extreme stage performance by HIJOKAIDAN.
I was not satisfied with that.
I wanted to focus more on the noise itself and so Eternal Paralysis took form and come out."
*** Toshiji Mikawa
Regarding Peony Crackers:
"some of the sound sources on this album were recorded in my room in the bachelor dormitory at work, during a free day, using the sound of firecrackers (Peony Crackers) bursting in a trash can.
At that time, I was scolded terribly by the dormitory manager.
Album title was a reference to this episode."
*** Toshiji Mikawa
