A single released in ’93 by a trio formed the same year.

Gentle piano tones and a slowly unfolding melody are punctuated by a hard-edged guitar, and over this ensemble a high-toned vocal weaves in, resulting in a nicely crafted ballad.

This is a ballad that serenely sings about looking back on the past.

The title, said to be formed by linking the initials of acquaintances, is a coined word that connects “chaos” and “myth.” True to its weighty meaning, it consists of a leisurely melody and lyrics that convey a sense of grandeur.

In classic ONE OK ROCK fashion, it weaves in English—please enjoy this song of friendship.

BEST FRIENDSMAP

Among SMAP’s songs, this one especially sings about friendship.

The lyrics are wonderful, and it feels like every inner thought about a friend is carried by the song.

“Best Friend” means a close friend, but this track makes you reflect on who your own best friend is.

It’s a song that once again reminds you to cherish the friends who are with you now.
