A gentle song whose warm melody seems to embrace the lonely autumn alongside the setting sun.

Guitarist Yoshiki Mizuno created it with the theme of a wedding.

From marriage until the day when death inevitably comes someday.

It feels like a song imbued with the wish to spend that time together, holding close the promise of that day when the madder‑red sky was so beautiful.
