According to Yamashita, "My Sugar Babe" is a song dedicated about Sugar Babe [ja] (hence the name of the song), a band that he partook in before starting his solo career. He had the vague desire to write a song like this for quite some time but when he started to work on the album "Ride on Time", he felt that now was the right time, so he wrote it.[1] The song was used as a theme song for the Japanese detective drama series Keishi-K which aired on NTV. Additionally, an instrumental version from the drama was included in the bonus tracks of the remastered edition of "Ride on Time" and a short version was also included in the "Special Bonus Disc" of his 2002 compilation album The RCA/Air Years LP Box 1976-1982.
In 1994, Sugar Babe's album "Songs [ja]" containing the original mix was released for the first time in CD. Yamashita also held a live performance titled "TATSURO YAMASHITA Sings SUGAR BABE" on that same year in which My Sugar Babe was performed live as the last song of the performance.
Daydream is a song written by Minako Yoshida. Yamashita said that this was the best lyrics that she had ever written for him, and she is the only one who could have came up with the idea of creating lyrics from an acryliccolor chart in order to clear a melody with a detailed musical arrangement that is difficult to translate into Japanese.[1]
