Mt. Fuji is 3776 meters high, and this album is 3776 seconds long. A day passes for every 12 seconds of this album, and in that interval, the singer counts out the signs of the Zodiac. And since the album is twelve tracks, it's clear that every song represents a month, especially since the singer calls out each day of the month. I mean, the album's name is literally "seasonal calendar". Got it? Well, if you're still confused, look at the album cover. Her head is supposed to be Fuji, the red dot the traditional rising sun (well, setting sun from where I live, but whatevs).

This is a really Japanese album, a marriage of the modern and the traditional in one seamless whole.
