It was released through A.S.A.B on December 24, 2020 for digital download and streaming and on January 1, 2021 on CD. It is primarily a J-pop album, with ingrained influences of reggae, folk, and R&B. Eito worked with his musical mentor, Rung Hyang on several songs on the record. The singer listed Hotdogs, In-Sist, and Chinatsu Matsumoto as the guest musicians on the album. The album peaked at number nine on the Billboard Japan Hot Albums and number eleven on the Oricon Weekly Albums chart.[1][2]
The lead single, "Kōsui" became a viral hit on the social media app TikTok in early 2020 before climbing the Billboard Japan Hot 100 to number one and charting on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. by September of the same year.[3][4] "Right Now" was released in October 2020 as the singer's first single from the major label, A.S.A.B.[5] The fourth single from the album, "Happiness" served as the 2020 winter campaign song for Coca-Cola.[6] In support of the album, Eito embarked on his first concert tour, Together Sukkarakan.[7]
