(Shonen Knife related details appear below)

 
The first track on the album is "Oumu no Porineshia" [Parrot Polynesia]. Naoko Yamano takes songwriting credit.  Itakura adds guitar and BA NA NA adds keyboard. The second Shonen Knife contribution is "Zou no Pao Pao" [Elephant Pao Pao]. Here the composer is listed as Shonen Knife and once again, Itakura and BA NA NA pitch in.  Shonen Knife's lineup.
Atsuko Yamano: drums, backing vocal. 
Naoko Yamano: lead vocal, guitar.
Michie Nakatani: lead vocal, bass.
As you can see, the two Shonen Knife contributions are remixes, originally recorded at BJ Studios, Nishinomiya. Itakura and BA NA NA simply lay extra tracks over the originals, simulated electronic elephant trumpeting in the case of Elephant Pao Pao, for example.
