Trip of Love, according to press notes, is described as such: "Mini-skirts are all the rage. The Beatles are on the top of the charts. Loved ones are fighting overseas. It's 2008 and echoes of the 1960's resonate for a modern audience reliving the turbulence and joyous rebellion of a decade that changed the cultural fabric of a nation. Through the psychedelic sights and sensational scenes of the era that continue to live on in pop culture, Trip of Love dances from 1960 to 1969 to the beat of the decade's most famous and enduring songs."

In a statement producer Makoto Deguchi said, "Osaka is a city on the brink of becoming the next entertainment capital in Japan and I couldn't be more proud to debut Trip of Love there with the bountiful support from the city of Osaka and the promotional support from the local media and ticket agencies."
