There was a music critic who compared this album with The Beatles' " Revolver " -"Revolver" is followed by " Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band ".
S.L.T's next and ninth album is " Welcome to Another World "; it would be up to each listener's imagination whether this album could be compared with "Sgt.Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", though.
From the very opening, two songs are showing their determination.
" Subarashii yumeno nakade " (in dreaming great future) is a song expressing that in dreaming something in the future, it's more important to think why than what
" Keeps Me Runnin' " starts with a phrase saying that we must not complain that everyday is boring because there is a goal we want to reach .
According to Chikuzen Satou :
Back then, members' interests in music changed after they recorded the previous album " Togetherness ".
And from the time they recorded "Togetherness", they had tried to approach not from standpoints of "pops" but the essentials of music, which was a "thorny path" for them.
Because: They always want what they think they are good and they want to create as musicians to be in accord.

" Burnin' Love
Sometimes they have audience sing the part "Hey, hey, hey", sometimes band members other than percussionists and drummers play the percussion.
Latter half of this album consists of andante songs.
After they made a release of this album, they performed at Nippon Budoukan for the first time, where is regarded as a shrine to pop music in Japan and the place where the Beatles performed at, too.

When I went to London for semester abroad, I brought a ballad collection of S.L.T.
Kokoro no tobira ", which is originally included in this album "Discovery" was favorably received among classmates and teachers, with a praise "What a lovely voice he has!"
There was a problem, though -if I translate the title literally, it's "door of heart", which is incomprehensible.
So Open your mind " which is unofficial yet, although I reported to Chikuzen later by contributing to his regular radio program.
After I returned to Japan, I introduced some albums of S.L.T. to international friends with letters.
When I set up this weblog in May 2006, I thought up placing those English introductions .
This is the origin of "Favorite, recommendation" -and dual language weblog.

:Ready to place translation if asked
