This is the second studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter Taeko Ohnuki. This would also be her last album under the record label PANAM. All songs were written by her, and arranged by renowned composer and keyboardist Ryuichi Sakamoto.

Despite having very low sales at the time of its release, it recently garnered attention and popularity due to Youtube’s recommendation system, which eventually got reissued many times during the recent years.

At the front cover, the album title is manually italicized using Futura Inline and the artist’s name is set in a bold italic weight of Futura.

At the back cover, the tracklist (and also the Latin/English titles) are set in a fine weight of Nāru (ナール). The musicians and staff seem to be set in a condensed variant of Trade Gothic.

Art direction by Kazuhiro Sato, with photography by Tohru Ohnuki.
