Trivia

• This is SHOKICHI's first album released under the stage name "SHO HENDRIX".
• All songs were either composed and written by SHO HENDRIX.
• The album credits include special thanks to Atsushi Ota, Ayako Maruyama, Oscar Cornejo, Hajime Harada, and Rena Koyanagi.
• Of the 12 songs included on the album, 6 were produced at a private studio in Tokyo and 6 at Avex House in Los Angeles, US.
  • SHOKICHI stayed in Los Angeles for two weeks in July 2023, and the production session lasted for 6 days. The pace was set to be one song every two or three days, but he was able to finish one song a day (including the lyrics).
  • All songs made in the US were engineered by Oscar Cornejo. For the songs created in Japan, the engineer was Ota Atsushi.
• For this album, the theme was to sing in a relaxed manner and create a relaxed atmosphere.
• The album consists of 12 songs depicting various "forms of love".
• On Oricon, the first press limited editions of the album charted separately from the regular CD+2DVD, CD+Blu-ray and CD Only editions, splitting up the album sales. This is possibly because of the best albums included in the first press limited editions. On Billboard Japan, the album was not split between the editions and was counted as an one release.
• Currently his lowest selling and peaking album.
