Release

Editions

The album was released in Japan on December 19, 2012 in two editions: the regular edition (ESCL-4010) and the limited edition (ESCL-4008-9).[5][6] As well as the CD contained in the regular edition, the limited edition contained an Ikimono-gakari Barādon scarf and the Ikimono card #031.[7]

Title

The title is a combination of the words "ballad" and "donburi"(丼), the latter being a rice dish served with a variety of fish, meat and vegetable toppings served in an oversized rice bowl. The band claim to have decided upon the name whilst touring in Sapporo, Hokkaidō. Originally the band's guitarist, Yamashita Hotaka, was planning on naming the album "バラードだべ" (Barādo-dabe) where "dabe" is a copula in the Hokkaidō dialect, but the band settled for the current title after concluding that "Barādo-dabe" was of poor quality.[8][9] As a result of the use of "donburi" in the title, the lead singer (Kiyoe Yoshioka) and the two guitarists (Yoshiki Mizuno and Hotaka Yamashita) dressed up as a restaurant landlady and Itamaes respectively for both promotional appearances and the album cover.[10]
