Background

It was released just one year after the second album To Love. It contains 14 songs, including 5 singles released since her previous album. Like To Love, the album starts with a "Prologue" and ends with an "Epilogue". The album was produced around April 2011 when Nishino graduated from university and took a break. When Nishino looked back at her life, she felt gratitude for the people around her and the "connection" with the fans who could meet her face in music works, blogs, and live performances. "It was because of these people that I strongly felt that I existed, so the title was "Thank you, Love" with gratitude."[1]
