11. 夕凪 (Yuunagi)
12. 嫉妬されるべき人生 (Shittosarerubeki Jinsei)

Some (very rough) translation ideas - I don't speak Japanese at all but from the research I've done, this is what I've gathered:

08. Song of Coriander/Coriander Song
09. Lingering Scent
11. Evening Calm

No real clue about 12. Maybe "To Envy Life/To Be Jealous of Life"? Again, not a speaker at all, just from what I've looked up in various places.
So, I love all of this. I love that the title is Hatsukoi. I love that the cover is a total throwback to First Love.

I just want a big ballad on here a-la First Love. If she doesn't have a memorable, huge ballad on here, I'm going to resent her for it. I'm sorry, but I will. I'll like the album. I'll love Hikki for doing it. But I will absolutely never get over the disappointment of this album not having a career-defining ballad on it.

I'm watching you, Hikki...
