Musically, the album is almost completely pop with only two songs passing off into the Enka/Kayokyoku genre of Japanese music. Despite this, the album was categorized as an Enka album and as such the album ranked on the Oricon's general music charts as well as the Enka/Kayokyoku charts. This allowed the group to achieve a record of being the first Enka artist to have two consecutive releases reach the top 5 of the Enka/Kayokyoku charts and be the first Enka artist in 32 years to reach the top 3 general music charts.^[1]
