Released in 2014, “Sekai no Owari” opens with a heavy guitar riff and shouts.

Once it moves into the first verse, the offbeat “cha-cha” guitar rhythm propels the song lightly, and in the chorus, a characteristically Rotten, kayōkyoku-like melody feels pleasing—resulting in a track finished with an exquisite balance.
