The RIAJ certified the album Gold, selling more than 100,000 copies in Japan and 250,000 worldwide.

Three tracks went on for use in two anime series. "What's Up, People?!" and "Zetsubō Billy" were used as the opening and ending, respectively, for episodes 20–37 of Death Note. The song "Akagi" was used for the anime of the same name.
