Production and release
On November 8, Hitorie released the digital single Juggernaut (ジャガーノート). Shinoda wrote the lyrics and music, and describes the title and song as "the feeling you get when playing an electric guitar." He also drew the album's cover art.
On April 15, they released the digital single on the front line which was released as the opening to the second part of the second season of the anime adaptation of Mushoku Tensei. The song was composed by Yumao and Shinoda wrote the lyrics. The song peaked at 28th on the Oricon charts.
The album also features a new version of NOTOK, sung by current vocalist Shinoda. The cover art was designed by Yuta Ichinose, who previously designed the album covers for on the front line/SENSE-LESS WONDER and Imaginary Mono-Fiction. The DVD version of the album features a recording of their September 2024 concert "HITORI-ESCAPE 2024 10-NEN-SAI ～日比谷超絶野音～ (Hibiya's Transcendent Wild Sounds)" at Tokyo's Hibiya Park Concert Hall. It was their biggest concert so far, and was completely sold out.
