eh, could be better i guess

What I thought was strange about the cover was that, the bubble they used is the thinking bubble (there are different bubbles used commonly in comic strips), and yet, it is coming out of her mouth, lol.

Usually the thinking bubble is coming from a person's head, not mouth, lol, cus their ideas are coming from their brain.

Album tracklisting, from JPM:



Romanized tracklisting:
