1. 青春に、その涙が必要だ！

3:24
This is the first song on the album and i must say it is quite different from their other songs from their singles. It was very cheerful and happy go lucky sort of feeling. I mean Aimi sounds actually HAPPY while she sings this and i don't think i ever heard her like this. It also gives off an Ai Otsuka happy song but not as powerful as AI Chan's.

2. I do it
3:44
This was the song that they collaborated with YUI. So it does have a YUI feeling to it but nothing near YUI greatness. Guitar solos sounds fun^^. Change of pace compare to the 1st track. More rockish and more feeling.

3. 木漏れ日のジャーニー

4:01
Pace changes once again. I would place it between track 1 and 2. Also quiets down. Catchy beat. Reminds me of anime opening theme songs.

4. 泪のムコウ
(Across the Tears)
3:31
2nd Single. Second opening theme for the second season of Gundam 00
PV LINK
Changes pace again. Faster than track 3. Not happy go lucky though.

5. 乙女心 Hey Hey Hey

Happy once again. Cheerful song.

6. 泣かないで
(do not cry) credit: luwesa
3:08
Slow of course since its talkin about "crying". Like the vocals for this song. Soothing and slow. Didn't see this coming. Like this song.

7. effective line
1:16
POWER! that's what i think when am listening to this song.

8. スウィート・ブルー

9. 都会ノ森

2:57
Dies down once again compare to previous track. Chill song

10. 幸せの丘で暮らしたい

Slow song. Soft and relax

11. マイミステイク

Picks up pace, level of emotion is slightly below track 2

12. ヒトヒラのハナビラ
(A Single Flower Petal)
3:34
1st Single. 17th ending theme for BLEACH

More upbeat compare to previous track, one of their better FAST and upbeat songs
