==Comments by Tsunku==
*"Queen of J-POP" because he wants for people all over the world who are interested in Japan, to look at it and find out who ℃-ute are.
*The theme of the album is "life-sized coolness."
*Rather than cutesy songs that has been on previous albums, he decided just to go with songs for ℃-ute that are as they are now.
*"Bagel ni Ham & Cheese:" Written like an entry from a diary. Whether they're students or working we don't know, but it's a song about a couple that just started their romance. Sung by all, but center is Suzuki.
*"Namida mo Denai Kanashiki mo Nai Nan ni mo Shitakunai:" Sung by all, but center is Hagiwara. A song where a girl starts to feel insecure in her relationship. Different from other songs about broken hearts this one doesn't have any crying. Surely when people feel hopeless, we do feel weak to our knees and this is a song like that. In the back track, you can also hear the members sing lowly.
*"Tadoritsuita Onna Senshi:" A song that has to be sung in Budoukan. A song he hopes could become a theme/support song for women who work hard towards a goal.
*"Nichiyoubi wa Daisuki yo:" A song about an average Sunday and how sometimes it's just okay to do nothing even if everyone around us do. Sung by all, but center is Yajima.
*"Abiru Hodo no Ai wo Kudasai:" Sung by all, but center is Okai. A song about how it's difficult to figure out what it means just to be a "good girl." Some guys say they like seeing a girl eat properly/a lot while they at the same time go asking if the girl is okay while she's actually having a big meal. It's a song with a rock feel.
*"Watashi ga Honki wo Dasu Yoru:" Sung by all, but center is Nakajima. A country song with a rock-arrangement and pop-feel. Very uptempo and is sure to get one fired up during lives. A bright song that goes very well with Nakajima and is very ℃-ute-like.
==Oricon Chart Positions==
Total Reported Sales: 14,892
==Trivia==
*This was ℃-ute's highest ranking album with a peak position of #6 until the release of ℃OMPLETE SINGLE COLLECTION. (before the highest they'd ever ranked on Oricon's weekly album chart was #10 with 3rd ~LOVE Escalation!~).
