A couple of tracks are electropop songs. This album also features Kimura's first work with friend and composer Watanabe Shinobu of ASPARAGUS. The title track was used as the radio single for the album as well as the Kit-Kat Bar CM song. The song "Thrill Thrill Licker" was used in the film Kiraware Matsuko no Isshou starring BONNIE PINK.
