This album has no cover version. All are her own works. It was released in Japan this August. If you like new wave or art rock in the 70s, you will love this album very much.
Don't know the recording quality, but the songs are very good. I like her own work more, just like the Adult Story Book. This new album has its own story line, should be classified as a concept album.
