The album was released on January 1, 2001 by Readymade Records.[1] Like many of the band's later albums, Çà et là du Japon is set in a famous city of the world during a specific time of the year, in this case Tokyo in winter. Çà et là du Japon differs from other Pizzicato Five albums in that it features several guest vocalists and songwriters, and lead vocalist Maki Nomiya appears on only a few of its songs.[2]
