The album's title is similarly named to KAT-TUN talk show, Cartoon KAT-TUN, which began airing two weeks before the album's release on NTV. The album was recorded in Tokyo and Bennett Studios in Englewood, New Jersey.

All of KAT-TUN's releases so far (three singles, two albums, and five DVDs) have been at the top of the charts. No other artist before them has had their first ten releases all reach #1. They are also the first male artists to have their first two albums reach #1 since CHEMISTRY in 2003.

"Signal" was the first single released from the album. Released nine months in advance, the song debuted at number 1 with 450,752 copies sold in its first week of release. It stayed on the charts for 7 weeks and sold more than 566,233 copies by the end of its chart-run. The song was certified double platinum by the RIAJ and the fifth best-selling song of 2006 by Oricon.

"Bokura no Machi de" was the second single and was released in December 2006. It became KAT-TUN's third number 1 single with first-week sales of 410,103 copies and sold a total of 558,491 copies at the end of its chart run. Based on shipments in 2006 alone, the song was certified as the 13th best-selling song of the year by Oricon and was certified double platinum by the RIAJ in 2007.
