Details about the album

All songs except for Kimi ga Suki were written by Nishino himself - Kimi ga Suki was created in collaboration with the songwriter Saeki YouthK . The studio album debuted at number 1 on the Oricon weekly album charts in its first week of sales and held the highest position for two consecutive weeks. The studio album enjoyed great popularity due to their previously released singles which, with a kind of Japanese kawaii - country pop style, got many platinum certifications. The most popular song of the Just Love era is Torisetsu ( トリセツ ), which won gold as a single for the first time since Distance (2011). As part of the Just Love era, Kana was nominated for the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards Japan in the categories Album of the Year , Best Pop Song for Anata no Sukina Tokoro, and Best Female Artist Video.

In addition to the regular CD version, a CD / DVD version was released containing the music videos with the respective making-ofs of Moshimo Unmei no Hito ga Iru no Nara , Torisetsu and Anata no Sukina Tokoro . For more than 250,000 units sold, the album was awarded platinum by the RIAJ .
