The third single, "Ugly Swan," was four years in the making and was the first song the members originally wanted to release as Van de Shop's first song. The song was inspired by the image of an "ugly duckling" and carries the message that "no matter how bad you grew up or how much you have given up on something in the past, everyone is better The message of the song is that "even if you have a bad upbringing or have given up on something in the past, everyone is beautiful in the way they aim to become a better person. The song's fast pace is reminiscent of a band soaring through the music scene, and its emotional melody is uplifting and inspiring. The musicians include Shun Ishiwaka on drums, who also participates in "millennium parade" led by King Gnu's Daiki Tsuneda, and Australian-born Marty Holoubek, who regularly appears on NHK's "Musica Piccolino" and is involved in various artists' projects, on bass.

Vocalist and guitarist "Yuri Kuriyama", who changed his name after finishing his activities as Vocaloid producer "Nanashi Hachiya", manipulator "Koh Hashikura", who has made excellent Vocaloid arrangements for a series of Nanashi Hachiya's works, and "Haku Hitoi ", who has advanced piano playing skills, supports bands, and works as a Vocaloid producer himself. All of them are in charge of writing, composing, and arranging, and their high level of skill has resulted in an original song. The debut single "Reception" goes without saying, but the other songs in the collection also show great potential. The artist visuals and logo are designed by "OSRIN" of the creative team "PERIMETRON", and the music video creators and musicians participating in the songs are also gorgeous.
