In 2025, Noriyuki Makihara will celebrate his 35th anniversary since debut. As part of the anniversary, two albums representing the first ten years of his career are being released on vinyl for the first time. This is Makihara's sixth studio album, released under the name MAKIHARA. The entire album was created in English lyrics to reflect on his roots. It includes Frankie Valli's 'My Eyes Adored You.' The original CD featured the pre-release singles 'SECRET HEAVEN' (April 10, 1996) and 'COWBOY' (July 10, 1996), both in album versions. The single versions are included as bonus tracks on Side B of Disc 2. The 2012 remastered version is used, with the bonus tracks remastered in 2004.
