Background
In mid-September 2002, Nakamori planned to release an original album by the end of the year, but following her summer tour, she decided to revisit her old hits as part of her 20th anniversary celebration. The album features collaborations with Yōichi Murata, Ken Morimura from Orquesta del Sol, Masahiko Kitahara from Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra, and Akira Senju. The album cover features an illustration of Nakamori cosplaying as Jessica Rabbit as a play on the album title using the initials "D.D". Nakamori performed the new version of "Kazari ja Nai no yo Namida wa" on NHK's 53rd Kōhaku Uta Gassen, making her first appearance on the New Year's Eve special in 14 years. Charting performance
The album peaked at No. 8 on Oricon's weekly albums chart and charted for 10 weeks. It sold over 83,000 copies. Track listing
