Song sources

The album features 10 covers of songs by Okinawan artists. Eight of these are already released tracks. Of the new songs, "Umi no Kanata" is a Parsha Club cover, and "Kui nu Hajimi" is a Misako Koja cover. Both of these artists have been covered before by Natsukawa, and those songs also feature on the album ("Famureuta"/"Manten no Hoshi," "Warabigami" respectively).

Four of the songs are originally from Minamikaze, and two from Tida: Tida Kaji nu Umui and Sora no Keshiki each.
