The 2nd album released in 1985, which was produced by further expanding the idol route after the big hit of the 1st.
At the time of its release, the biggest hit song “Graduation”, which recorded No. 1 on the Oricon chart, was followed by synth funk “Midsummer Sequence” with a nice intro, and orthodox city pop “Boyfriend” with a drum pattern that can be said to be a classic. A total of 10 songs colored with gorgeous boogie tunes that are loved by Japanese DJs.
