Re:setSEKAI NO OWARI
This is a song I want you to listen to when you want to escape from reality.
It’s included on SEKAI NO OWARI’s 2019 album “Eye” and was used as the image song for the game Catherine: Full Body.
Its defining feature is an aggressive sound that weaves in rap and shouts.
It’s as if the piece turns inner turmoil and conflict directly into sound, giving voice to the cry of the heart on days when you don’t want to go to college.

The explosive chorus is another highlight—it feels like getting smacked in the head.
Let yourself be swept away by this wave of sound.
