The tracks were recorded with French-speaking Japanese vocalist Shizue Tokui. In all they recorded just 14 tracks, with another eight or more extended remixes Orange Lounge's signature track, "Love Is Orange" is a reference to the 1967 instrumental hit "Love Is Blue" by Paul Mauriat, whose work Funaki has cited as an influence.
