Promotion

The album was led by a preceding single, "Delight Slight Lightspeed," in September. It was released as a two track single, along with a seven track DVD, featuring highlights from the band's Crazy Gonna Spacy Tour at Ebisu Liquidroom (April 3, 2010).[2] "Delight Slight Lightspeed" was later chosen as the commercial song for Cedar Crest in October.[2]

In the initial album press release, it was described as "a speed-of-light story of 13 songs, two lives swimming over 1,000 light years interweaving, and spinning truth and love from the universe."[2]

"Wonderpower" was used as the lead track from the album, and received a music video, directed by Takayuki Kojima.[3] The song, along with "Delight Slight Lightspeed" were the album tracks from the album performed at concerts before the album's release.[4]

The band will promote the album with their Delight Slight Flight Tour, a 28 date Japan tour starting on the 13th of November and finishing on February the 19th.[5]
