Background
editOn the same day as the rerelease, the band released their debut single, Still For Your Love, under the major label Giza Studio, which was used as the ending theme for the anime television series, Detective Conan.[2]
The album consists of a total of six tracks. All the songs are performed in English, and not in Japanese.
Shine Today was performed by composer Makoto Miyoshi, and not by original vocalist Mami.
Snap was later re-recorded as a completely new song with a new arrangement, lyrics, and composition. It was released as the single Digital Music Power on September. This was used as an ending theme for the anime television series Monster Rancher.[3]
A Walk Shaded By Apple Trees was performed at the acoustic live performance UNDOWN vol.4.[4][5]
After the release of the album, the band left their indie label and joined the major label Giza Studio.
