About this project, Tsutsumi said as follow: "Songs I wrote 30 or 40 years ago were revisited by younger artists. They have completed 12 tracks for this album, in their own very distinctive and attractive renditions. As a songwriter, I couldn't be happier. I would like to show my greatest gratitude to all the artists and personnel who took part in producing the album."[3]
