This song was released in Sound Horizon’s early days, but many people might still love it even now.
The lyrics tell the story of a woman who, jealous of her lover’s infidelity, ends up shooting and killing the other person.
The song’s overall rhythm and sense of speed make you want to hum along without thinking.

It has a Showa-pop vibe and is easy to listen to, but the lyrics are pretty dark and give off a yandere feel.
The lyrics are comical and funny, so there are a few moments that make you chuckle.
Overall, it’s a stylish, easy-to-listen-to song.
