SIM EARTH™ ultra気候 & 「AFTER HOURS」was the first tape to be pressed by F☆D, although the original was run was sold on Newtype420's bandcamp. The original plan was to just do one, thirty tape pressing.

He stated on Twitter that he used the schools laser printers to make the j cards(which he had to cut and fold by hand), and that he printed the cassette labels out at home using an inkjet printer.

Even with very minimal advertising on online forums, reddit, and facebook, this first run of tapes was sold out in less than a minute. It was decided at that point an umbrella would be created, specifically to showcase the projects of Newtype420 & Sunset Network 91- this conglomerate of vapor influenced, audio focused content, would be named "The Fantasy ☆ Deluxe". "The" at the beginning was quickly dropped. Plans were made to kick off the label with High Fashion, and Wasted Digital- a perfect overview of what was to become.

With every tape release, the CEO; Spot would showcase each one. It was also a requirement to be on the label, Spot had to be able to sleep through your album uninterrupted. It is a well known fact that the best judges when it comes to vaporwave, is housecats. Spot took great joy in the music, and the production of tapes. During the handmade era, Spot was always by Sunset Networks side. Spot has since passed on due to old age, according to Fantasy☆Deluxe's he passed away at the ripe old age of 18, peacefully and surrounded by loved ones.
