Trivia
- 天庭 was originally planned to be released in 2010. It was not pushed through due to Asaki's illness.
- A preview of 天庭 was released in the 72nd episode of Musician's Room XG.
- Five special album jackets were released alongside the regular jacket for 天庭.
- The KONAMI STYLE album art, used by つばめ. The album art itself is taken from 天庭's event advertisement posters.
- The BUNKYODO album art, used by 愛のかたち 幸せのかたち.
- The TOWER RECORDS album art, used by まほろば教.
- The album art for "general stores".
- An album art given exclusively to attendees of Asaki's only public event, 『ゲームおじさん（名人）が行く より良い大人になるための教育ツアー 天庭秘密倶楽部2013』.
- The limited edition of 天庭 contains a DVD disc with a new music video for 天庭.
- Despite having a different title, まほろば教 is a long version of 鬼言集.
- According to Asaki, ほしふりの果て 極東史記より is re-interpretation of both ほしふり and 極東史記
- Interviews with Asaki on 4Gamer and the Q&A section of 天庭 (archived) reveal details about 天庭:
- Asaki left all of the artist information out because he wanted to convey a mysterious feeling for the album. However, he did confirm that the strings were performed by Jun Takeuchi and Nakata and some songs had sampled drums.
- He also mentioned that 白きを廻り 黒きの巡り contains belly drums and confirmed, but didn't specify, Jun Wakita and Naoyuki Sato's roles for some of his songs.
- 水面静かに大地の烈日わたらせて was planned for its inclusion in 天庭, but Asaki was ill at the time when he decided on the track list for the album.
- Asaki did not include 猿の経 in 天庭 as he thinks that the song does not need to be longer.
- The album version of つばめ sounds very different compared with the original つばめ from pop'n music 15 ADVENTURE. Asaki stated that this change was to fit the "more vivid" theme of 天庭 (which was more commercial-focused before his illness).
- 天庭 (the song) was originally planned to last for 20 minutes.
- Likewise, he also stated that まほろば教 was going to last for 18 minutes before shortening it to 9 minutes, since he could not fit all of 鬼言集's story in 天庭.
- 其曰く 教外別伝をして has its lyrics unwritten under Asaki's request, as he can understand the story by its title, he deemed them unnecessary to write them in the album.
- Its title translates to "It is said by kyougebetsuden". In Zen Buddhism, 教外別伝 refers to a spiritual awakening that cannot be experienced with words and letters, which can be attained only by the communion of mind with mind.
- 天庭 and 愛のかたち 幸せのかたち are Asaki's favorite songs in the album. 愛のかたち 幸せのかたち was added to the album because he wanted an "acoustic tone".
- このひと しりませんか was the quickest song he had made. He encourages people to use it as a ringtone.
- 散るを踏み 残るを仰ぐ's lyrics are a poem written by Asaki on the front of the album's booklet. He notes that the handwritings are amamo's and not Asaki's; he claims that his own handwriting is like "cute kanjis".
- Asaki left all of the artist information out because he wanted to convey a mysterious feeling for the album. However, he did confirm that the strings were performed by Jun Takeuchi and Nakata and some songs had sampled drums.
