Limited Edition A will come with a DVD, and Limited Edition B will come with a Blu-ray disc. These will contain footage from their special live held in August at Yokohama Arena. 

The day after the album's release, BUMP OF CHICKEN will hold their 20th anniversary live at Makuhari Messe. For their stadium tour, they are scheduled to hold concerts at Kyocera Dome Osaka, Nagoya Dome, Fukuoka Yafuoku! Dome, and Nissan Stadium. 

The first ticket pre-reservation period for BUMP OF CHICKEN's 20th anniversary live will start on December 1st via the band's official website. "Butterflies" will enclose a flyer in which fans can pre-reserve tickets for the finale of the stadium live.
