The editon exclusive to Japan came with special liner notes and an original postcard. The liner notes were written by B-Flower’s frontman, Hideshi Hachino. Formed in the late 1980s, B-Flower are considered to be one of the oldest Neo-acoustic bands in Japan and have been running through almost the same period as the Trashcans. In his notes he talks quietly and passionately about the Trashcans and the Happy Pocket era.
