Second official demotape, and their first release with second vocalist Ryo. Also their first (and only) release under Matina.
The B side contains a secret track (a live recording of an unknown song) after about 10~15 minutes of silence.
A Mercari seller stated that their copy contained four secret tracks: a completely different re-recording of the title track plus three unknown live recordings. However, upon purchase, the copy in question only contained the aforementioned bonus track. It's unclear if the seller was incorrect/confused, or if there is indeed an additional version of this demotape that contains four secret tracks.
Additionally, some copies do not contain the aforementioned bonus track. These can be identified by their beige tapestock rather than white. However, judging by the print and paper quality, these copies appear to have been fakes created by auction sellers, which is why we haven't created a separate entry here. This is unconfirmed though, so it's possible that there was an official second press of this demotape that lacked the bonus track.
Although the title of the demotape is 「persona」, the song itself (as shown on the lyric sheet) uses the alternate spelling ペルソナ.
According to history pamphlet included with Matina 1997~2002, this demotape had a product number of MATINA-002 and was released on 1997-06-25. Both claims are incorrect—as seen on the artwork of the actual demotape, it was released with product number MATINA-004, and was recorded in August of that year. An issue of SHOXX further confirms that it was actually released in September.
