The tag line for the record was "I could sat, "once upon a time", but this is not a fairy tail." 69/96 features a slew of fellow rock and Shibuya-Kei musicians. "69/96 a Space Odyssey Prelude (in Atami)" features singer ELLIE. The song "69/96 Girl Meets Cassette" is sung by Oyamada's then girlfriend and Shibuya-Kei starlet Kahimi Karie. "How Do You Feel?" is the only song not written by Oyamda being penned by Pizzacto Five's Yasuharu Konishi.
