Rank: 7th (Oricon)
Singles: 「いい日旅たち」 A-side
Obi: あなたの前で女でありたい。私はもうはたち… (I ought to be a woman in front of you. I'm already 20...)
Notes: Track 6 would later be a B-side to the single 「美・サイレント」. Track 3 would be released as a single in 1994 with a new arrangement.
Opinion: The theme of being an "adult" was really pushed all over this album, since it commemorated her 20th birthday. It kicks off with her biggest single, which is a ballad about a woman going off to get married the next day. I think each track reflects shades of being a woman, from being a jealous lover (Track 4) to an innocent girl wanting to know what love is (Track 8), to being nostalgic for early adolescence (Track 10).
