0079–0088 is a compilation album released by Gackt on December 19, 2007. It contains eight tracks, which had either previously been used on the soundtracks of the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam movies or were covers of earlier songs from the Gundam franchise.
The collaboration with the "Gundam Series" began in 2005, as were used Gackt's songs as opening and ending themes in the movie trilogy of Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam reproduction, Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam: A New Translation.
On May 25, 2005, was released a single "Metamorphoze", which included a same titled song and a remixed version of previously released song "Kimi Ga Matteiru Kara". They were the opening and ending theme songs for the first movie Heirs to the Stars. The single was a commercial success as reached number two on the Oricon charts, and sold over 160,000 copies, being certified gold by RIAJ. Also the singles music video combined footage from the anime with live-action sequences of Gackt piloting in a UC 0093 (Char's Counterattack era) spacesuit and linear seat (a type of cockpit setup in the Gundam series).
In the same year was released the second movie in the trilogy, Lovers, and Gackt's song "Mind Forest" was the ending theme song. In the all three movies, the ending songs were from the Gackt's album Crescent.
On March 1, 2006, was released a second single "Love Letter", which title song was previously released on the Love Letter album, and also included remixed version of previously released song "Dybbuk". They were the opening and ending theme songs for the third movie Love is the Pulse of Stars.
Created as the tribute to the creator of Gundam, Yoshiyuki Tomino, for his birthday, the album contains five tracks which had been used on the soundtracks of the Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam movies, as well three Gackt's covers of earlier songs from the Gundam franchise, "Ai Senshi", "Suna no Jūjika ~Interlude~", and "Meguriai".
