[1] In March 1983, Yasumi Tanaka, P-Model's original keyboardist, left the group and the music industry entirely due to a severe case of writer's block.

His departure left the band in a state of crisis, as leader Susumu Hirasawa was for the first time the only major creative force since the group's days as Mandrake.

So I decided to use ateji when rewriting so the release could be on 25 November, but the CEO of the record company told me to 'change the lyrics for the offending parts'.

I didn't want to delay the release yet again by getting caught up on details, and it's not like those words were crucial to the lyrics, so I went ahead with re-recording the vocals.

In the meantime, P-Model had been touring 30 locations around the country since 24 October to coincide with the release of the album, and I had corrected the date to 25 January at each stop.
