Обзор
[ редактировать ]After the release of P-Model's album Another Game, a process protracted primarily by their then-current label Tokuma Shoten, leader Susumu Hirasawa was exhausted of dealing with major labels, so chose to have the band be independent for some time. In an apartment occupied by friend and former co-worker Akiro Kamio Arishima's (有島 神尾 明朗) film production company AC-Unit, he and a group of friends turned a room into a home studio, and there he and others in various lineups recorded music.[2][3]
Around the time Hirasawa planned to make something more "proper", he was approached by the JICC Publishing Bureau, makers of WonderLand (宝島, Takarajima, Treasure Island), a subculture-focused magazine that had covered P-Model a number of times beforehand. They asked for the group to make the second entry in their burgeoning cassette book line,[4] which would allow them total freedom from Recording Industry Association of Japan censorship.
Bass and drum parts were handled by Hirasawa with a Korg Polysix and a Korg KPR-77.[5] P-Model's rhythm section was in a state of flux at the time. Manager Mitsuru Hirose (広瀬 充) sought to draw talented personnel to the band.[6] By summer 1984 it had already been decided that Tainaka, who felt he was "at the limit of [his] strength",[7] would leave.[8] Hirose at some point called 4-D/After Dinner member Tadahiko Yokogawa to be the band's new bassist,.[9] then went to current bassist Tatsuya Kikuchi's house to tell him "you are already fired".[10] Tainaka had written one song for the album[4] and Kikuchi recorded basslines for one or two tracks,[10] materials that went unused. The tour for the album featured Tainaka on drums and Yokogawa on bass and other instruments. The promotional photoshoot for Scuba had been done before Kikuchi's dismissal from P-Model, and as such, he was part of the ad campaign for an album he does not appear in, by a band he hadn't been part of for months.

Endo's segment on "Looping Opposition" is not present on the CD mix of the track, shortening it by 23 seconds. The cassette book version contains sheet music for a "Song of Horohomo" (ホロホモーの歌, Horohomō no Uta), credited to "Furufucchi" (フルフッチ) and sequenced between "Seven Joint Man" and "Ohayo II". No recording of this composition by Hirasawa or anyone involved with the album exists.
