Another compilation from Epic/Sony (by this point just called Epic), and Shoko's first since Harvest back in 1991. Perhaps the most interesting thing about this collection (which focuses almost exclusively on Shoko's work from 1992-1997) is that a number of the tracks were previously unreleased. "Abunai Hashi" is present in a live version, "Natsu wa Doko e Itta" is different than the released version (it's a demo version with English lyrics), and both "Koibitotachi no Tsuki" and "Todokanai Mono" were never released. What's also nice, in a way, is that this record is more of a complement piece to Harvest, instead of a repackaging of the same songs.
