This is the fourth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Toshiki Kadomatsu. The artwork photo was taken on Midtown Manhattan. After 5 Clash is one of his highly sought-after albums by city-pop enthusiasts. Due to its popularity, some resellers offer it at a high price. The album title on the front cover is set in the only variant of VGC’s Emphasis which is an italic typeface.

The back cover with track names and personnel credits is set in Kaufmann Bold. The text at the lower portion uses a demibold weight of Helvetica, while the price “¥2,800” is in a bold weight of Univers resembling Univers 75. Lastly, the Japanese serif/mincho typeface is mostly likely set in a medium weight of Ishii Mincho called Ishii Chū Minchō (石井中明朝).
