Luna Sea re-recorded the entire album and released it on November 29, 2023, through Avex Trax. Guitarist Sugizo cited "Rosier" as one of the songs wherein he tried to replicate the "psychedelic feel of shoegaze bands" by using effects, "like playing fast with a wah-wah pedal, or using tape-echo and harmonizers. I couldn’t figure out how they did it, so I just made it into my own thing." The single versions of "Rosier" and "Mother" are slightly different from the album's. The album was remastered and re-released by Universal Music Group on December 5, 2007, it came with a DVD of the promotional videos for "Rosier", "True Blue" and "Mother". This version reached number 195 on the Oricon chart. Mother and the band's other seven major label studio albums, up to Luv, were released on vinyl record for the first time on May 29, 2019.
