BUTAOTOME’s first album with exclusively songs about the Hifuu Club. It has a peculiar structure, with 4 vocal tracks framed by 3 instrumentals. All the main tracks are named after gemstones, and the overall sound is calmer and acoustic.

Ranko (from ButaBest 2): It’s a Hifuu CD. My sister and Comp wrote the lyrics.
Hifuu is too deep for me to handle, but it was fun to analyze the words and sing them. The details in the album are very nice, such as prologue and epilogue tracks, and the radio noises between each song.
I thought “Pyrite” would be the highlight of the album.
