In the fall of 1970, he relocated the band's base to Tokyo and continued their activities primarily through live performances. In 1991, the band simultaneously released three original albums: '67-'69 Studio et Live, Mizutani / Les Rallizes Dénudés, and '77 Live.

The photography in the collection is by Kyō Nakamura, born in 1949. Nakamura was a founding member of Les Rallizes Dénudés and served as the second guitarist under the name Toshi Nakamura, except for a few years in the 1970s when he was not part of the band. From the 1980s onward, Nakamura has worked as a photographer under his real name, focusing on unique and aesthetically pleasing photographic works featuring women and jointed dolls. His first solo exhibition, "Portraits of Masks", was held in 1987, and since then, he has showcased his distinctive and beautiful photographic works at numerous exhibitions and in various publications.

The collection is edited and annotated by Yoshihiko Ichida, born in 1957, a professor emeritus at Kobe University. Ichida has authored several books and translated works by Louis Althusser, contributing significantly to the dissemination of philosophical ideas.
