(TUBEst --> TUBE[st] [tu]BEST) All single a-side releases from "Best Seller Summer" to "Stories" is included, plus three tracks by the Nagisa-no All Stars. (Group consisting of TUBE, Oda Tetsuro, and a few others who slip my mind.) A nice "sampler" album to get a taste of TUBE's music.

Comments: A quick energetic album released shortly before the coming of TUBE's season. Starting with "Smile" the album will keep one up in spirits to "Sayonara-no Uta" which calmly closes off the 5 track mini-album. Not one of TUBE's best, but not an album to pass over either.
