The album contains popular tracks like “A Song for XX”, “M”, “Voyage” and “HEAVEN”, as well as rare tracks like “teddy bear”, which has not been released in CD format since album “Duty”, released in 2000 13 years ago. The album also contains “Key ~ eternal tie ver.~”, performed during the encore of the semi-finale, which will not be included in the live DVD release.
