General Information:
LAREINE’s second full album, and their first and only full album released under a major record label; SME Records (Sony Music Entertainment (Japan) Inc.).
This release sold very well, reaching number 20 on the “Oricon Style Weekly Albums Chart”, these are the sales rankings of music releases in Japan.
It contains 16 tracks, including the major singles “fiançailles” and its B-side “Je t’aime”, “Billet~幼き夏の便箋~” and its B-side “émeraude~海に魅せられて~”, and “冬東京” (Fuyu Tokyo). It did not contain the “薔薇は美しく散る” (Bara wa utsukushiku chiru) song, but it did contain its B-side, the ballad “あの人の愛した人なら” (Ano hito no aishita hito nara).
This album, just like many LAREINE releases, is a concept album, where all the songs tell one part of a big story.
There are two versions, that released a week apart. On the 16th, the first press released, which released as a CD in a jewel case inside of a slipcase that also contained an extra booklet and poster. This version doesn’t have an OBI. It is the most common version of this album by far.
A week later, on the 23rd, there was a second press, this time only as a CD in a jewel case, without all the extras, but the exact same audio content. This press has a different booklet, and came with an OBI and a little trading card (always the same trading card).
