    Track 1 was written by Machiko, and is a 3/4 speed genki song (the kind that I think she does best). Track 2 is also a somewhat laid-back style of genki that seems a bit more polished, but doesn't quite capture her originality as well. Track 3 is a slow song that feels a lot like Haruka na Kaze did, and showcases her ability to hit the high notes quite well.

    The cover features a head and shoulders shot of Machiko contemplatively glancing over her shoulder. The back cover shows Machiko in a white dress, bending over with her hands behind her back to show off her lack of cleavage (^_^;) The inside cover is a long shot of Machiko walking in a park.

    Her singing seems much more polished than her earlier songs, and her voice seems to be gaining a Tange Sakura like quality to it. The more mature tone of her songs and the lack of a single picture of Machiko smiling is a departure from her original boke, cheerful side, but she does a decent job of pulling it off.
