Lin Oberndorff was also featured in Wink Music Service (see album "It Girls").

The songs include self-covers of SOLEIL's "Pinky Fluffy" and "Baby Boo", Les 5-4-3-2-1's "Non! Non! Non!", and also a cover of Bo Diddley's "Mona (I Need You Baby)". The three self-covers are newly sung with English lyrics, and the CD also includes Japanese versions of "Pinky Fluffy" and "Baby Boo".
