[edit] Information

The maxi included four different ballads, with all the lyrics written by Ami herself. Although the single is a quadruple A-side, only the first two tracks were given promotional videos.

Maybe because the album had a very poor promotion (only 1 live performance of Ami with a talk about the single and poor rotation of the music videos) the single wasn't a big christmas success, debuting #19 at the Oricon charts disappearing quickly from the list.
