Promotion and release
Cockayne Soup was the "first part" of a release campaign for three consecutive EPs, one per month, followed by Akuyuukai and Spermargarita. The campaign was named Script error: No such module "Nihongo"., and the tracks from all EPs were collected into a compilation of the same name in 2006.[3] It was possible to acquire the albums at pre-sale on the band's website.[4] Akuyuukai and Spermargarita were re-released in 2005 by King Records, however, the same did not happen with Cockayne Soup.[5]
Describing the four tracks, visual kei portal Visunavi assimilated "Beautiful 5 [shit]ers" as hard and heavy. This song has not had its official lyrics revealed, and in the booklet the lyrics shown are actually a passage from Heart Sutra.[5] "32 Koukei no Kenjuu" (32口径の拳銃), the second track, has "a hard riff, a sense of speed, and a sad chorus". The portal reported that "Shiawase na Hibi" (幸せな日々) employs melancholic melody and lyrics. Describing the latter track, they opined that the lyrics are "interesting to read" and are fused with heavy sounds, with a sad and impressive melody.[6] This last track was originally released on the single "Gozen 0-ji no trauma Radio" (2002), and for this EP it was re-recorded with new drummer Kai.[5]
