The art book contains two chapters titled "Portrait of Summer" (夏の肖像, Natsu no Shōzō) and "Dancing Animals" (踊る動物, Odoru Dōbutsu), and consists of illustrations by Ryū Katō containing a scannable QR code that redirects to a dedicated website for music playback.
Most of the songs are not available in the digital edition and are only accessible through the art book. The duo has also stated that the art book or album will not be released on a CD.
