Each of the countdown singles were scheduled to be released within a week of each other.
The second song on the single, "My Father's Day" was written in memory of Gackt's Fūrin Kazan co-actor and close friend, Ken Ogata.[3]
On its record jacket, "Koakuma Heaven" features a total of 15 female models, such as Sayaka Araki and Sayo Hayakawa, who have appeared in the popular gyaru magazine Koakuma Ageha. The fanclub-only version of the jacket features only Gackt dressed as a woman.[4] [5]
