Guitarist Inoran is claustrophobic, which inspired him to compose the B-side "Claustrophobia".[citation needed]
The title track was re-recorded for their 2000 compilation album Period -the Best Selection-.[1] Luna Sea played "Believe" jointly with X Japan at the hide memorial summit on May 4, 2008.[2]
