In August 2020, it was chosen as the theme song for the ABEMA show Who Is the Wolf?, once again resonating with many listeners.

Included on the album “boys,” released in June 2019, it gained popularity not through a tie-in but via videos posted on social media.
The rapid-fire verses switch to an explosively open chorus that feels exhilarating—just listening is sure to lift your spirits! It’s the perfect track for blowing away the haze of unrequited love or soaking in that sense of unity at a live show.

If you listen with the glittering memories you’ve shared with someone special in your heart, it may deepen the bond between the two of you.
