The Impact of One DropUVERworld
It was released in 2017 as UVERworld’s 30th single.
The song was used as the opening theme for the MBS/TBS anime Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga, and it was created by channeling the frustration they felt when their performance at the Inazuma Rock Fes was canceled due to a thunderstorm.
The lyrics are incredibly cool.
