The album title is mistakenly thought to have been inspired by William Gibson's cyberpunk novel of the same name but guitarist Hisashi Imai originally confused it with Robert Longo's work Samurai Overdrive, which inspired the album title.{{cite journal|journal=Ongaku to Hito|year=2003|issue=2|url=https://jp.mercari.com/item/m48690897806|title=BUCK-TICK|language=ja}} It reached number seven on the Oricon chart
