The album consists of the singles " Akai Hana", " Hajimete Deatta Hi no Yō ni", and " Rakka Ryūsui", plus self-covers of her classic singles from the Warner Pioneer era. [1]

Background

To commemorate Nakamori's 25th anniversary, Universal Sigma launched a mobile phone campaign from January 11 to 24. Fans sent messages to Nakamori's hotline; the winning messages were selected to be read by Nakamori herself, and campaign winners received autographed goods. [2]

The album peaked at No. 29 on Oricon's weekly albums chart and charted for eight weeks. [3] It sold over 16,000 copies. [4]
