It has long been a regular on overseas want lists and high-value purchase lists, and in recent years has been significantly reevaluated due to being picked up by overseas FUTURE FUNK DJs.The album includes Toriyama Yuji's guitar cutting, classical chorus, and the stepping medium disco "Wagamama na High Heels" composed and arranged by Toriyama Yuji with a New York sound in mind, the iconic 80's Japanese Boogie Funk "Dress Down" with its black and urban programming rhythm and thick reverb sound making, praised by fans of Kadomatsu Toshiki, the pseudo-reggae "Two Call" provided by Kisugi Takao, and four songs composed by Sakiya Kenjiro, including "When the Night Ends," "Tonight, I'm Alone," "Tonight, I'm Alone," "Narcissist," "Love Letter," and "Beginning," composed by Yoshida Minako. Produced and arranged by Takebe Satoshi (key), and arranged (for two songs) by Toriyama Yuji (g, key), the album features a number of talented musicians, including Yuming's old and new tour members such as Yamanaka Masafumi (synth prog) and Cindy (cho), VIZION members such as Sakiya Kenjiro (cho), Otake Tetsuo (synth prog), and Matsumoto Akihiko, Aoyama Jun (ds), Shimamura Eiji (ds), Mikuzuki Chiharu (b), Yoshikawa Tadahide (g), Toki Hidefumi (sax), and Kubota Toshinobu (cho), who debuted at the same time as Akimoto Kaoru... Also of great interest are the participation of two synth operators, Yuming's support member Yamanaka Masafumi (synth prog) and VIZION's Otake Tetsuo (synth prog), who have made a significant contribution to the consistent unity of the glittering and urban synth sounds that are one of the key elements of the sound.
