NOTOK was first revealed on the book
wowaka Lyrics Collection (wowaka歌詞集), released in May 11. It was performed for the first time at Hitorie's "HITORI-ESCAPE 2024 10-NEN-SAI ～日比谷超絶野音～ (Hibiya's Transcendent Wild Sounds)" concert at Tokyo's Hibiya Park Concert Hall on September 15. The band decided to complete the song, as well as
daybreak seeker, also included on the single and composed by wowaka, to celebrate the band's 10th major debut anniversary. They utilized wowaka's compositions, as well as vocal data from his demo recording, to finish and release the song.
daybreak seeker was written during the production of
HOWLS, and Shinoda wrote the lyrics. He recorded over 100 patterns for the
guitar solo at the end of the song before arriving at the final version. The single also features two covers of wowaka's vocaloid songs, ''World's End Dancehall
and Tenohira'', with the former being the fastest song ever performed by the band, reaching 171
BPM (Beats per Minute). The album cover was designed and created by Fullkawa Honpo, a close friend of wowaka who was also a vocaloid producer. == Track listing ==
