It was released on 3 November 2010 by Sony Music Entertainment Japan.[1] The album features 31 previously released tracks and three new songs: "Ima Hashiridaseba", "Spirits", and "Kaze to Mirai".

It was released in two versions: a regular 2CD edition and a limited 2CD+DVD edition. The first press regular edition contains an ikimono-card 021. The limited edition contains a double-sided ikimono-land/member poster, an ikimono-land card, an ikimono-land sticker, two ikimono-land postcards, ikimono-card 021, and an application card to enter a lottery for ikimono-gakari goods. The bonus DVD contains a 115-minute documentary, "ikiiki TV", featuring member commentary on all the songs.[2]

The album was certified 'Million' by the Recording Industry Association of Japan for shipment of one million copies.[3] To commemorate this achievement, a limited 2CD winter jacket edition was shipped out between December 17, 2010 and January 2011.[4]
