"Kurage, Nagareboshi" is a ballad to mark the end of the summer. "H2O" is an upbeat pop/rock song, as an upbeat song is often released with a ballad single to equalize the mood [the same vice versa—i.e. "Happy Days" had "Hoshikuzu" and "Rocket Sneaker / One × Time" had "One x Time"]. "Ame no Tsubu, Waltz ~LOVE MUSiC~" is a new song reprising the chorus of "LOVE MUSiC" found on Love Cook.
