Background

The album includes four previously released singles: "Negai Goto Hitotsu Dake", "Chance", "anybody's game" and "Kōri no ue ni Tatsu yō ni" as well as the B-side of the fourth single, "Ichiman Meter no Keshiki".

The single "Kōri no ue ni Tatsu yō ni" received new album instrumentation with no subtitle. Compared to the single, the introduction begins with acoustic guitar. This version of song is the closest to that in the anime television series Detective Conan.[1]

This album includes one self cover song, "Tegotae no Nai Ai", which was originally performed by the Japanese rock band Deen from Being Inc. Later, it was included in two compilation albums by Deen, Deen The Best of Kiseki and DEEN The Best FOREVER Complete Singles+.[2]

This is her only album released on the Amemura label. Her next album, Everywhere, was released by Giza Studio to which she moved in 1999.

Charts

It reached #3 in its first week with 202,290 copies sold. The album charted for 12 weeks and sold 600,900 copies making it her highest selling album.[3]
