The album includes "Namida", her own rendition of a song Nakajima originally wrote for Kiyoshi Maekawa. The song released as a single before the album came out was the first material which was co-produced by Ichizo Seo, who has been her long-term collaborator since then.

The album has commercially failed, although it debuted at the number-one on the Oricon Chart for the first time in 3 years.
