NOTES: In the Emperor's Closet liner notes, Konishi writes: "This was a unique project, a remake of their first album, Flash PaPa, done in various styles—in other words, it is a theme album. I remember well feeling very anxious, because I couldn't understand at all the concept that Mr. Takkyuu Ishino explained to me at our meeting on the arrangement. And one more thing that left a strong impression concerned Mr. Pierre Taki, who came to the studio. Although he was there the whole day, he didn't listen to a single thing, remaining in the lobby watching TV and having meetings. I was surprised."

RELATED:
NOTES: In the Emperor's Closet liner notes, Konishi writes: "A song that I provided for Ms. Mutsumi Inoue's following album. Although I originally tried to write this for Pizzicato Five, the lyrics didn't fit Maki Nomiya-san's image, so I put it aside. This version uses those same lyrics and a new melody. The melody remained from Pizzicato's original demo version, and I reworked it into "Banji kaicho" [Tout Va Bien].
