The common intention behind the entire record
Rena Uehara hopes that even if the entire album reaches hardship and heartbreak, she will still hold onto hope. The final track, "Voice of Foam," is her first song to write and compose herself, and she hopes listeners will return to the first song after it ends.
The twist of the ninth track
The first half of the album mainly features bright and refreshing songs. The ninth track, "After All ~Tsuzuru Omoi~ (acoustic version)," slows the tempo and continues with the latter half, "WHITE ALBUM2."
First press edition cover
The cover of the first press edition of "L'espoir" features newly drawn illustrations by Takeshi Nakamura for the album.
