L’Arc~en~Ciel’s 37th single, released digitally in June 2011.

One of the band’s hallmarks is that their songs are clearly divided into light and dark, and this track perfectly fits the description of a “light” song.

While many interpret it as a heartbreak song, you can also imagine the protagonist moving forward with brightness and positivity, and the lively, upbeat melody is encouraging as well.
