It’s said that this piece was added at the very end by guitarist Tomoyasu Hotei, who wanted to include it as a song that pays respect to BOØWY, when the album was nearly complete.

The avant-garde, provocative sound seems to embody the band’s strong will to “belong nowhere,” and it really leaves an impression.

If you listen to it before the start of something new, you might feel a rush of exhilaration, as if their early impulses were taking hold of you.
