Details about the album

As with their debut album, To Love is about love. With this studio album, Nishino wanted to show her changed view and understanding of love, which has changed since her debut album. In an interview with Yahoo! In Japan she described her behavior when writing a song; this is how she mentally creates images that describe the music, then she continues to invent a film with the created images from them and from this she draws the basis for a scenario in the future song.

The songwriters on this album are mostly those from their debut album. So again Sizk was responsible for the transitions, Giorgio Cancemi for the singles, Nervo for the song Hey Boy and Jeff Miyahara for the song Summer Girl .

In addition to the regular CD version, a CD / DVD version has been released that contains the music videos with the respective making-ofs of the single releases Motto ... , Dear ... , Best Friend , Aitakute Aitakute and the promo single Kimi no Koe wo (from the debut album) contains.
