Two emotionally rich songs featuring works by Matsuyama Chiharu and Nakajima Miyuki.
This single features "Tiny Memory" by Matsuyama Chiharu and "Hatsukoi" by Nakajima Miyuki, and Kashiwabara Yoshie's clear vocals clearly reflect the two different artistic styles of the singers. "Hatsukoi" reached number two on the Oricon weekly chart, making it a solid hit.
"Tiny Memory" brings to the forefront the lyricism characteristic of Matsuyama Chiharu, while Kashiwara Yoshie's vocals, carefully capturing the flow of the melody, neatly showcase the song's appeal. Meanwhile, "First Love" is centered around the deep emotion characteristic of Nakajima Miyuki's work, and the impressive expression that accompanies the sad melody line is a testament to the level of support she received at the time, reaching No. 2 on the Oricon weekly charts. The album contains two songs with clearly different writers' personalities, and the composition naturally conveys Kashiwara Yoshie's range and flexibility as a vocalist.
