THE ONE Edition A will enclose a "karuta battle set" consisting of a battle card, battle CD, and battlefield (picnic sheet). Meanwhile, THE ONE Edition B will be a set including two Blu-ray discs, a 72-page photo book, and a big flag. Both THE ONE Editions will come with special packaging. All of which will be available for purchase starting December 23.

The album types SU-METAL Edition, MOAMETAL Edition, and KOBAMETAL Editions will not be available for purchase and will only be exclusive to "prophet card" holders which is randomly enclosed in purchasable Regular Edition, Limited Editions, and THE ONE Editions album types. The “prophet card” will have a serial number which can be used to obtain the said exclusive album which consists of ten songs personally selected by BABYMETAL and producer KOBAMETAL.

Lastly, for the X Edition album type, only the “ONLY THE FOX GOD KNOWS" song has been revealed to be included as other details will be announced soon.

The BABYMETAL band line-up consists of Nakamoto Suzuka as "Su-metal" and Kikuchi Moa as "Moametal". The live line-up also consists of two backup dancers known as MUSCLE-METAL. The concept of the group is a fusion of the metal and idol genres. The two girls and their band are managed by the Amuse talent agency. They released their debut album of the same name in February 2014.
