Promotion
The album was led by a preceding single, "Delight Slight Lightspeed," in September. It was released as a two track single, along with a seven track DVD, featuring highlights from the band's Crazy Gonna Spacy Tour at Ebisu Liquidroom (April 3, 2010). "Delight Slight Lightspeed" was later chosen as the commercial song for Cedar Crest in October.
In the initial album press release, it was described as "a speed-of-light story of 13 songs, two lives swimming over 1,000 light years interweaving, and spinning truth and love from the universe."
"Wonderpower" was used as the lead track from the album, and received a music video, directed by Takayuki Kojima.{{cite web|url=http://mfound.jp/topics/2010/10/001167.html |title=avengers in sci-fi 新作ミュージックビデオに超有名アニメのモチーフが登場!? / Wonderpower |publisher=mFound |date=October 23, 2010 |accessdate=October 23, 2010 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140518150339/http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH_XN-moBKo |archivedate=May 18, 2014 |url-status=dead }} The song, along with "Delight Slight Lightspeed" were the album tracks from the album performed at concerts before the album's release.{{cite web |url=http://natalie.mu/music/news/38002 |title=avengers in sci-fi自主企画でアルバム収録曲を初披露 |publisher=Natalie |date=September 22, 2010 |accessdate=October 22, 2010}}
