This is believed to be the only single by Dea, a band that also includes Shinichi Omata, who was surprisingly discovered in recent years as a lost synth pop gem. This is the only confirmed solo work other than compilations including overseas releases. The four tracks on it showcase the band's tasteful production, including the downer style synth-pop "Pretty Smile" and the oriental-tinged "Kiss To The Moon" with sitar. Distributed by Nagoya LLE for Air Records, which also releases Tojimatoji. Hard to find.

失われたシンセポップの名作として驚きを持って発掘された小俣慎一も名を連ねるバンドDEAの唯一と思われるシングル。海外リリース含むコンピレーション以外では唯一確認されている単独作品。ダウナー系のシンセポップ”Pretty Smile”やシタールの入るオリエンタル雰囲気”Kiss To The Moon”を筆頭にしたセンスの良さを感じる全4曲。名古屋LLEがディストリビューションを手掛けたとうじ魔とうじらもリリースしているAir Recordsより。
