Six/Nine

The hard-industrial rock song "Rakuen (Inori Koinegai)" (4:48) was released as a B-side of single "Kodou". It also has a music video, but the accompanied version was from the studio album (4:37) which oriental composition and arrangement is in instrumental-acoustic style. During the tours the band usually performed the original rock version.

Sakurai's lyrics are socially conscious and critical of the people seeing the political and war situation in the Middle East. They talk how in a country/garden of love and peace (Garden of Eden) suddenly there is bloodshed, children of God kill each other with gunfire, but on the TV it is showcased as a melodrama while "I" (Sakurai, in other sense, the listener/viewer) is indifferent, pretends to show tears and shuts their eyes (willful blindness).

The song caused controversy because some of the lyrics were lifted from the Quran and later the album was re-issued with the offending part removed by November 1995 in a clear case.{{cite book|author=Steve McClure|title=Japanese Label Recalls Album: Muslims Outraged By Koran Sample|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZA0EAAAAMBAJ|date=18 November 1995|publisher=Billboard (Nielsen Business Media)|pages=59–60}}
