Information

This is the first quadruple A-side single released by Ami Suzuki, and it was credited as a "Christmas single", including four different ballads with all the lyrics written by the singer herself. Although the single is a quadruple A-side, only the first two tracks, "Crystal" and "To Be Free" were given promotional videos, which were included in the DVD of the single. These two songs were also included in the album Connetta. As this album were part of the "Join" project Suzuki started in 2007, when the songs were included they were credited as collaborations between Ami and the music arrangers (in "Crystal" Kazuhito Kikuchi is both composer and arranger, though in the latter credits he was credited as "KZB").

"Little Crystal" managed to get in the Top 20 of the Oricon charts in the week of its release, and it charted for 5 weeks.
