This is his first original album, which includes the five singles from his debut.
Although the singing voice sounds childish, it was a song that was commonly heard by people in their teens and twenties at the time.
It ranked first on the Oricon weekly charts, with initial sales of 540,000 copies. It includes the anthem "A Song For XX" for Ayu fans, the heartbreaking "Wishing," and the encouraging "Depend On You."
