Disclaimer: The event is carried out only by Yuki Kajiura and no vocalist, musician or other staff is involved, and is also unrelated with the recording labels.

Note:* This BD contains a Making of video. However a much longer one (100 hours long) is inside a separate DVD sent to those who send to Flying Dog by mail some application form found inside Yuuka’s and FJ’s Vol#11 Blu-rays.
