This is the 19th single by singer Maaya Sakamoto, who began her career as a child actress at the age of eight and now works across multiple fields as a voice actor, actress, radio personality, and essayist.

The song was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing, and its rapidly repeating key changes create a pleasantly disorienting effect.

Accents of irregular meter add an effective sense of tension, introducing a distinctive hook within the song’s sense of speed.

It’s a dramatic number whose subtle snags within its straightforward drive make it irresistibly catchy.
