Background and composition

With a blue-based design and a group of songs with a theme of summer and the sea, the public image of Omega Tribe and their connection with the summer and the sea had been established. After the debut song "Summer Suspicion" was released, the album was released immediately after entering Top 10, so it ranked in Top 5 on the Oricon chart. The total sales of the records and cassettes exceeded 100,000.

The position of the title and logo of the jacket was changed when it was made into a CD in August 1984. All subsequent reissues used the modified jacket, but when it was re-released as a MEG-CD in September 2016, it was returned to its original position. At the same time, the motif of the compass needle that was printed on the lower left of the first press of the record was also revived.[1][2]
