It’s a song that gives you courage and energy, telling you, “Even when things are tough, you’re not alone.” If you listen to it while thinking of the friends who stayed by your side and watched over you during hard times, it will resonate with you even more deeply.

It was released in 2004 as the second single under Tomoko Kawase’s alias “Tommy heavenly6.” The song was used as the ending theme for the Toho-distributed film Kamikaze Girls, and like the film itself, it centers on the theme of friendship between women.
The lyrics express the complex, shifting emotions of someone who struggles and can’t always be honest precisely because it’s a friendship.

It shows how significant friends are.
It makes you ask yourself whether you have a friend you’d be willing to protect, even if it means getting hurt yourself.
