==Trivia==
*Of the six tracks featured on the album, Hyakunen no Ketsumatsu and Mirai no Kioku reflect a rock-like sound), while Kaze-Iro no Sora is more of a pop track. 
*All lyrics were written by Kobayashi herself. She described her songwriting process in an interview: "Usually, I am not so great with carrying conversations and expressing my feelings, so I wrote the lyrics as if I was jotting down my inner thoughts and ideas on a notebook. [I recommend] (the track) "Sacred Dolls" which has the boldest sound of all tracks. The song was written from a doll's perspective, as if I was a doll myself."元カントリー娘。小林梓、初ソロアルバム発売 (in Japanese).
