Background

The album consists of total six tracks. All their songs are performed in English, not in Japanese.[2]

The songs Jonathan and "Picnic" were later re-recorded as completely new songs with a new arrangement, lyrics, and composition.

Jonathan was released on their debut studio album Rumaniamania as Sayonara. Compared to Jonathan, the Sayonara is more than half minute longer. Picnic was released as a single Picnic on November, which was used as an opening theme for Anime television series Monster Rancher.[3]

Jonathan, Picnic and Jet Plane were performed in acoustic live performance "UNDOWN vol.4".[4] [5]
