Information

Some time after the album was released, Ami faced legal problems with her management company, AG Communications, when the company's president, Eiji Yamada, was convicted of tax evasion. As a result of President Yamada's conviction, Sony put the album out of print along with all other Ami Suzuki singles and albums released up to that point, and she was blacklisted from the J-pop music scene. However, after she re-debuted under Avex Trax in 2005, the album was re-released later that same year as part of her Bazooka 17 box set.
