Since RONZI on drums sets a tambourine on the hi-hat, the song begins with an intro where the tambourine gently resonates as he steps on the hi-hat, followed by a track whose distinctive phrase—colored by KOHKI the guitarist’s chorus effect—feels pleasantly unique.

In live shows, it’s often slotted in as a calming moment before the final sprint in the latter half.

Released on February 7, 2018, Brahman’s seventh album, “Bonbai.” This track is the 11th on the album.

It carries a faint scent of Showa-era kayōkyoku (popular songs).
