Information

Ths styles of the album consists of upbeat J-Pop songs with touches from House and Trance, also with some sweet pop ballads and soft songs. A curious fact is that the DVD of the album doesn't include the original music videos of the songs of the previous physical singles; the dance tracks videos are the original songs but only with the dance scenes that Ami shooted for those videos, and the album edit of "Negaigoto" is a slightly different edit of the original video.

Sales

The album came in at #4 on its first day, but fell to #5 for the weekly charts. The single reached #19 on the Oricon charts, pretty impressive for a limited release single such as this. Despite that the sales were not exactly a big success come back album, this record marked Ami Suzuki again as a qualified and profitable female singer in the Japanese Music Industry.
