Shoko's first box set, collecting her first four albums into one set. For space purposes, the first two songs from Kaze no Tobira are on the end of disc one, with the rest of the LP on disc two. Due to the large number of songs on the set, any bonus tracks from the period (namely, the single version of "Circle Game") appear on the following collection. The DVD is a nice bonus (and includes, among other things, the live performances of "Sunday Bazaar" and "Melody" that were teased in Life,/Music & Love), but the big draw of this set (for someone like me) is that it collects the first four albums into one neat package (and that's not to say I don't enjoy the DVD, I do; it's just I enjoy the albums even more).
