 "Bakuman" director Hitoshi Ohne asked the band to create the soundtrack in 2013, after being impressed by the band's performance at the 2012 Taicoclub outdoor music festival.Ohne liked the fact that all of the members of Sakanaction were able to produce music, something which he believed added a great variety to the soundtrack.After reading the script, Sakanaction created demos for approximately 10 songs to be used in the soundtrack, which they recorded at Aobadai Studio in Meguro, Tokyo.
