- The limited edition of 天庭 contains a DVD disc with a new music video for 天庭, directed by Takuya Tada and starring DAZZLE dancer Tatsuya Hasegawa and makeup artist Asahi Sasaki.
- Despite having a different title, まほろば教 is a long version of 鬼言集.
- 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.
- 天庭 (the song) was originally planned to last for 12 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.
- 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.
- 天庭 and 愛のかたち 幸せのかたち are Asaki's favorite songs in the album; the latter was added to the album because he wanted an "acoustic tone".
- 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).
- Asaki claimed that ほしふりの果て 極東史記より is meant to be a re-interpretation of both ほしふり and 極東史記.
- 其曰く 教外別伝をして has its lyrics unwritten under Asaki's request, as he deemed them unnecessary to write them in the album since he can understand the story by its title.
- 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.
- 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, claiming that his own handwriting looks like "cute kanjis". It reads:
- 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.
何度も言うが 何度も何度も言うが 手を変え 品を変え 様々な事例を挙げ 幾度となく言うが 光など無い 存在しない 幸せなど無い 幻想だ 孤独が良い 今までも これからも 孤独なのが良い 希望をもってはいけない お前は未来永劫ひとり 死んでもひとり 生きてもひとり 永遠にひとりだ 誰も信用してはいけない 愛など存在しない すべてまやかしだ 幻想だ くだらないことだ 騙されてはいけない これが現実だ 例外は無い これが現実で真実だ どうしようもない どうしようもないことだ いいか 小さなものも 大きなものも 皆 必ず 救われない 絶望的だ 終わり |
