In the 1990s, Tatsuro Yamashita and Yasuhiro Konishi, among others, named him as one of their favorite composers, and the album suddenly attracted attention, and is now a standard-bearer for soft rock and sunshine pop. This is the first \"Roger Nichols-approved\" songbook in Japan, selected and supervised together with Roger by anthologist Takashi Hamada, with whom Roger has had a close relationship both publicly and privately. The songs included in the book range from well-known classics that everyone is familiar with to rare 7\" only releases that have never been released on CD, which are coveted by soft-rock fans. Since he has been relatively quiet as a professional composer, this album provides a bird's eye view of his activities, and includes many world and Japan first CD releases!
