Trivia

  • The original release of 神曲 was advertised on the music magazine Gekkayo Internet Music (No. 971); it included a band score for 雫, a music sheet for この子の七つのお祝いに, and a guitar score for 蛹.
    • It also includes the first uncensored photo of Asaki.
  • The limited edition of 神曲 contains separate lyrics cards for each song packaged in a black plastic case (幸せを謳う詩 and この子の七つのお祝いに use two lyrics cards each).
  • The remastered version of 神曲 was supposed to be released the same time as 天庭. Due to Asaki's illness, however, he was forced to hold the release until two years later. The album was later delayed again for two more months.
    • When 天庭 was released in 2013, the remastered version of 神曲 was bundled, although both could be ordered separately.
