first album maybe CMIIAW
The first song, "Kiss Shite Hoshii" was released as a single at the same time the album was released. "Chain Gang" was the single's B-side.
"Roku de Nashi II", which has a subtitle "Gitaa Hiki ni Heya wa Nashi" (ギター弾きに部屋は無し No Guitar Playing in the Room) when Kōmoto was admonished by his landlord for practicing in his apartment.
"Romantic" is the oldest song that The Blue Hearts play, as it came from Kōmoto's time with his previous band, Za Kōtsu. "Scrap" is the next oldest song.
"Restaurant" is the band's first ska tune.
| Released | November 21, 1987[1] November 21, 2007 (limited edition) | |
|---|---|---|
| Recorded | Music Inn Yamanakako Studio Sound Inn | |
| Genre | Punk rock | |
| Length | 43:53 | |
| Language | Japanese | |
| Label | Meldac Records | |
| Producer | The Blue Hearts Masahide Sakuma | |
About half of the songs on this album were originall written while the band was an amateur independent band. The new songs were produced by Masahide Sakuma (佐久間 正英 Sakuma Masahide). Other changes include Masatoshi Mashima singing main vocals for some songs, Hiroto Kōmoto playing a blues harp, and the addition of a keyboard.
The three songs that were written specifically for this album are "Tōku Made", "Hoshi o Kudasai", and "Eiyū ni Akogarete". They announced that they were going to include two other songs from their time as amateurs, "Mado o Akeyō" (窓をあけよう Open the Window) and "Hon no Sukoshi Dake" (ほんの少しだけ Just a Little Bit), but these songs were never released.
Because there were a number of songs that stepped away from the normal eight-beat rhythm, recording was a problem. When Sakuma would not allow the recordings to be finalized, Kōmoto said, "This is a Blue Hearts record, so shouldn't our own abilities be enough?" Looking back, though, the group realizes that their own recording knowledge was insufficient for this record.

Before making their major debut, The Blue Hearts often sang "Mirai wa Boku Nado no Te no Naka" to open the second half of their acts. When they were making this album, the plan was to release it as the first song on the cassette's B-side (seventh song overall) to match their acts. However, when they had trouble recording "Blue Hearts Theme", which was supposed to be the first song on the A-side, they decided to make "Mirai wa Boku Nado no Te no Naka" the first song.
During the middle and latter parts of the band's career, they often started off live performances with the song. "Blue Hearts Theme" was eventually replaced by "Sekai no Mannaka", the eighth song. "Kime no Tame" was also a replacement song, as "Chain Gang" could not be recorded because of lyrical problems.
"Owaranai Uta" caused some controversy because of its use of the Japanese word for lunatic, which was a word prohibited from broadcast. As a result, the lyrics were not printed on the cassette cover and the words were masked by heavy guitar sounds on the recording.
Two of the songs, "No No No" and "Shōnen no Uta", were originally written for Kōmoto's previous band, The Coats (ザ・コーツ), but were performed and recorded by The Blue Hearts. Also, "Dance Number" is the shortest of all The Blue Hearts' songs.
The track "Linda Linda" was also released as a single, but there were separate recordings for the two releases. The biggest changes are the drums sounds and the addition of a third guitar on the album version. The album version of "Linda Linda" is the one often performed at concerts.
