 * Information

This album featured 5 tracks previously unreleased on a CD. The fifth track, Toumorokoshi to Sora to Kaze was used in commercials for SALA shampoo and was later released on Abe Natsumi 's first album Hitoribocchi. The eighth and ninth tracks are remixes of Morning Musume 's seventh and eighth singles. These remixes originally appeared on the vinyl LP versions of the singles. The tenth track is a version of Taiyo to Ciscomoon 's sixth single Marui Taiyou -Winter Ver.- with vocals by all four members rather than just the three who were in the unit at the time of the single's release. This track was later included on the group's second album 2nd STAGE. The 16th track is a recording of the Hello! Project theme song as performed by the 2000 shuffle units. The individual units had released versions on their singles.

The Petit Best DVD was not released until 2004, alongside the DVDs for Petit Best 2, 3 , and 5. It features PVs related to the album tracks.
