Notes:
- ALTIMA(#6) is composed of Maon Kurosaki, fripSide’s sat and m.o.v.e’s motsu. They were the secret guests of Animelo Summer Live 2011 -rainbow- at Saitama Super Arena and this is their first single.
- School Food Punishment(#5) is a 4-member pop-rock band which is famous for providing theme songs to the Higashi no Eden series. This song was made carefully after they talked with the anime director about how they could best express the world of UN-GO.
- Galileo Galilei(#4) is a 5-member rock band who is doing something different from their usual guitar driven songs adding electro sounds and a dance beat.
- Hokago Tea Time! (#1 & #2) is composed of the voices of the 5 leading characters of the series, Aki Toyosaki, Yoko Hikasa, Satomi Sato, Minako Kotobuki & Ayana Taketatsu. Bid debuts but pale compared to "NO, Thank You"'s 87,397 copies.
