Background

After guitarist Kenji Yoshida withdrew from the band in April, the album was the first release with a five-member formation. Lead vocalist Kiyotaka Sugiyama commented, "We cut down the brass sound from the front and cherished the original sound of the band,"[2] and the band sound was now simple and light.

The single "Futari no Natsu Monogatari" was a hit, charting at #5 on the Oricon chart.[3][4][5] The album was ranked 1st on Oricon and 13th on the 1985 annual album chart.[6] It is the only work released in the summer (June to August), excluding best-of albums and planning boards.

The cover of the jacket and lyrics card was taken on the island of Mykonos in Greece, and below the title is a description of the hotel "Les Morin" on the island.
