This song is a track included on the 2010 album COSMONAUT.

If you’re not the kind of BUMP fan who listens through entire albums, you might not be too familiar with it, but it’s a gem that really conveys Motoo Fujiwara’s distinctive touch! In the lyrics, a once-cherished dream is compared to trash, and the song depicts facing that dream again.

However, listening to this song will surely make you reaffirm: no matter what others say, keep chasing your own dream forever!
