This is their debut album.
At first, I didn't quite get used to it, since the style is so different
from their later albums. Nevertheless, I like it. The lyrics clearly shows
Kusano's side of early twenties. Despite the fact that Kusano has
been gradually changing his writing style, I can catch his point of view
to the world pretty well by listening to this album. All members were young
(Well they are not so old neither...), and the songs give me a sense of
freshness. The first time I listened to the song "Umeboshi" is from the
live version recorded in the single "Scarlet". I love the live version
already. However, I found the original one is cuter. I think Kusano
san put more passion in this one than the other. I can see his young side
from this version. (Is it because he gets older and that's why he
doesn't put as much as passion in the song when he sings it? (^^;)) "Hibari
no kokoro" is my another all time favourite. Also, this one looks more
like an indies album to me. It may be due to the cover and the pictures
inside.
