The debut album brought to you by Aniss and Lacanca with the help of their man friends 'The Chill Hearts'. The girls say they're 16&18 yr-old stepsisters from NJ, USA, but that's just a stupid joke, they are mmm and Mai Mishio, 2 solo singer-songwriters active in Japan and beyond.
This album sees their songwriting talents and their pure joy for singing that makes you break into a smile! Supporting are the very talented Tatsuhisa Yamamoto (drs), Hiroki Chiba (b), and Mitsuhisa Sakaguchi (keys), with a special appearance by Taku Unami (gt). Recorded by Gen Tanabe, it captures an intimate yet rocking sound of their teenage explosion.
