The first pressing of this CD comes with a picture CD with Inoue Kikuko (井上喜久子) and Iwao Junko (岩男潤子)'s faces on the CD. The CD case is the thin case.

The cover has a picture of Junko wearing a tuxedo and Kikuko wearing a dress. The cover/lyrics sheet is four pages long, which is folded to fit into the CD case.

The second page ("back" cover) of the sheet has a picture of Junko and Kikuko squatting down.

The third page of the sheet has a picture of Junko and Kikuko standing, from behind. Junko is in her penguin pose, i.e. hands out like a penguin.

The fourth page of the sheet has a picture of Junko and Kikuko standing, from the front. Junko is in her penguin pose.

my opinions

1. Okashi na Paradise

A Disney style orchestra song. Very cute background vocals by Iwao Junko.

2. Yasashii My Home Town

A country style song.. Junko has the lead vocals most of the time.

3. Slow na Koi no Monogatari - made in love -

A rock and roll song.

4. Utaeru Hoshi ga Arunara Ikuno

A techno-pop song, very cool.

5. Ginga no Legend

A slow ballad with a full orchestra. Nice!

6. Osakana Penguin no Theme (PENGUIN-Mix)

A march type song. I can't tell much difference between the Penguin mix and the Osakana mix. (^_^;)

My rankings would be: 6, 5, 1, 4, 3, 2. (on 1995.08.01)
