It has a gong, a few Asian gamelans, lutes, horns, and other Asian percussion. [[Pekoe]] appears on the cover holding a fan and wearing what is possibly a cheongsam.

==Album cover==
−
*According to [[Kazumi Totaka]], Imperial K.K. was composed based on the fact that Chinese culture is often misunderstood by western people. With this in mind, the team also added the idea that the person himself who is bothered by this misunderstanding does not notice they are being misunderstood.
