This is the first album by Koshi Miharu, a musician with a diverse background in classical music, chanson, jazz, and ballet, since moving to the Alpha/YEN label.
Produced by Hosono Haruomi, this album has attracted a lot of attention and acclaim for its fusion of cutting-edge techno pop sound and coquettish vocals.
All but one song was written by Koshi Miharu. "L'Amour Toujour" was co-written with Belgian techno pop group Telex, whose members also participated in the performances. It caught the eye of IDIOT Records and was released simultaneously in the Netherlands. The album is released on a transparent pink vinyl disc, pre-mastered by Hosono Haruomi and cut by master engineer Kotetsu Toru. The album artwork is different from the original version, using the jacket photo from the 1992 CD release. Includes an interview with Koshi Miharu in 2021 (with English translation).
