Ryo composed the songs on the album around the idea of starting and ending with "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari" (literally: "The Story You Don't Know").<ref name="iLoud-TIABD-interview-pg2"/> As such, the second track on the album is "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari", and the final track "Watashi e" (literally: "To Me") uses the same tune. For "Kimi no Shiranai Monogatari", Ryo was offered to compose the ending theme song to the 2009 anime series ''[[Bakemonogatari]]''. Ryo did not want to copy the tone or style of the original ''Bakemonogatari'' novels, because he felt the author [[Nisio Isin]] would enjoy the song more if it was more original. Thus, Ryo wrote a different story after borrowing the general setting of the novels.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.iloud.jp/interview/supercell/|title=supercell インターネットから飛び出した新世代スター|trans_title=Supercell: The New Generation Star That Suddenly Appeared Out of the Internet|publisher=X-tra|work=iLoud|accessdate=November 28, 2011|language=Japanese}}</ref> While creating the album, Ryo thought it would be interesting if the first song on the album was the end of the story. The album's first track "Owari e Mukau Hajimari no Uta" (literally: "The First Song That Heads Toward the End") was composed with the image of starting with a flashback scene, diving into the past, and once again returning to the present.<ref name="iLoud-TIABD-interview-pg2"/>
For "Hero", Ryo was asked to compose a theme song for [[Shueisha]]'s manga magazine ''Aoharu'', a special edition version of ''[[Young Jump]]''. The artists whose manga would be serialized in ''Aoharu'' were asked to draw "heroines they think are cute," and Ryo was asked to compose the song with the same theme. Ryo thought of a boy aiming to be a manga artist as the song's protagonist, and wrote it with the concept of wanting to support those who get victimized for being otaku. Since the song reflects different points of view between the protagonist and the heroine, Nagi Yanagi switches her singing style from cool to cute sounding. Ryo describes "Perfect Day" with an image close to the album title and feels the song symbolizes the album. "Perfect Day" was born from the nuance that undoubtedly tomorrow will be a perfect day.<ref name="iLoud-TIABD-interview-pg2"/>
