Have you ever felt your psyche sway between truth and lies, good and evil? This track captivates with a thrilling storyline themed around two opposing concepts.

Released as the single “Black and White” in April 2025, it was created as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Takao Ameku’s Diagnostic Chart of Mystery.” The lyrics strikingly mirror the tension of a medical mystery.

An emotional dance tune that conveys a strong resolve to move toward the future.
