TRIVIA:
The first full-length album by Dir en grey
The first release by the band on a major lable
Drummer Shinya came-up with the name for the album
"蜜と唾" ("MITSU TO TSUBA") literally means "honey and saliva"; though the kanji are written in reverse on the packaging, and thus transliterate as TSUMI TO BATSU; literally "crime and punishment". This oddity is generally regarded as wordplay by Kyo and the latter is considered the correct translation.
"raison detre" is French for "reason of being" and is actually spelt "raison d'être". "mazohyst" is a possible misspelling of "masochist".
The entirety of "GAUZE -mode of eve-" is contained in a hidden track after "アクロの丘" that lasts 1:09. The four second track that follows is a Red Book standard that allows all CD players to read the hidden portion.
There is a music video to every song on this album
The song Schweinの椅子 translates to "The chair of Schwein," the song ゆらめき translates to "Lambency," the song 304号室、白死の桜 translates to "Room number 304, cherry blossoms of white death," the song 蜜と唾 translates to, "Honey and saliva," the song 予感 translates to "Premonition," the song 残 -ZAN- translates to "Residue," and the song アクロの丘 translates to, "Hill of the Acropolis."
Remastered versions of "アクロの丘," "Cage," "Schweinの椅子," "予感," and "304号室、白死の桜" are all included on the DECADE 1998-2002 compilation
