Trivia

• This was Nakazawa Yuko's first album as leader of Morning Musume
• "Dou ni ka Shite Douyoubi" and "Usotsuki Anta" were originally written as demos for Morning Musume's major debut single,^[1] but "Morning Coffee" was chosen out of the three.^[2]
• "Yume no Naka" is considered Iida Kaori’s signature song when she was in Morning Musume. It was the last song she performed live before her graduation from the group in 2005.
• "Mirai no Tobira" was later recorded by Goto Maki with Melon Kinenbi for Goto's album 2 Paint It Gold.
