It features reworked versions of her previous material with a soul-jazz arrangement, as well as two new songs and a cover of Kai Band's "Saigo no Yogisha", from the album Kono Yoru ni Sayonara (1977).

The album mainly focuses on reworking select songs from Misia's catalogue, including the singles "Hi no Ataru Basho", "Believe" and "Orphans no Namida".

"Kuruzo Thrilling", a percussion-heavy brazilian jazz-inspired track, features Raúl Midón on the guitar,[3] and on "Unmei Loop", Misia welcomes Marcus Miller, whom she first collaborated with impromptu during the Blue Note Jazz Festival in Japan 2016 concert on the song "Orphans no Namida".

[6] The new tracks included on the record both received commercial tie-ins: "Unmei Loop" serves as theme song to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Windows game Nobunaga's Ambition: Taishi (2017),[4] while "Kuruzo Thrilling" was used by Wowow as its theme song to their 2018 LPGA Tour broadcasts.
