The single has an internal symmetry it shares with [[Gips]]: the single starts with a three kana song, then is followed by a cover song, then ends with a song sung in English. Similarly, a song on each single also features a famous guest artist ([[Asai Kenichi]] of [[BLANKEY JET CITY]] is featured in "Tsumi to Batsu" , while on "[[Gips]]"' [[Sigma (Shiina RIngo)|Sigma]] [[Tabuchi Hisako]] of [[Number Girl]] and [[moOog]] of [[Buffalo Daughter]] are featured).

The PV for Tsumi to Batsu was directed by [[index.php?title=Kimura Yutaka&action=edit|Kimura Yutaka]]. Some scenes feature Shiina sitting in the Mercedes with a red leather jacket, red leather gloves and red leather pants on. However, others show Shiina standing against a red wall weilding a katana (with the same attire). Later on in the music video, the camera turns; revealing that it is not a car that Shiina is sitting in; but instead a car cut in half.
