It includes the hit single "Flamingo in Paradise", as well as the Bari Bari Densetsu theme song "Slope ni Tenki Ame". The CD release includes the English version of "Dancing Hero" as an exclusive track. It was reissued on March 24, 2010 with five bonus tracks as part of Oginome's 25th anniversary celebration.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
