Fujii said of the album, “I was shocked by the first song… I thought, ‘What a song like this exists in the world. I was shocked to hear “Wind It Up” (Japanese title is Miss Gwen’s Nejimaki March),” he said. I bought it when I was in the sixth grade or something. With my New Year’s money. I bought it in the 6th grade with my New Year’s gift…” He laughed and said that he bought it with his New Year’s gift when he was in the 6th grade.
