• The initial run was 1 million copies and sold out.
• After being out of print for a long time, a digitally remastered version was reissued in 2008. The reprint comes in two versions: Atari and Hazure. The Atari version comes with a live bonus track of "Sychar". The Hazure version has no bonus track. The two versions were otherwise identical, so it was impossible for people buying the album in stores to tell which they were buying.
• The album debuted at 88th on the weekly Oricon chart.
• "Yellow Girl" is normally written イエローガール [iero-ga-ru]. On the album jacket for Gendai Stoic, it's written イヱローガール [iwero-ga-ru]. The katakana ヱ is a now nearly obsolete character that is sometimes used to represent the [e] sound. (It's possible it was exchanged for エ in the song title just because many Japanese keyboards don't support ヱ.)
• The album jacket of Gendai Stoic lists "Dramatic Children" as "Draftic Children" (ドラフティック・チルドレン). No idea why.
