An intensely up-tempo track, delivered with a pounding, almost hammering vocal, it’s an incredibly powerful song.

And yet, no matter how far you follow it, the impression it leaves is one of sheer beauty.

Brimming with transparency, it gives a unique sensation as if something is passing right through your body—truly a singular and wonderful piece.

The song alone is outstanding, but I highly recommend experiencing it together with its simple yet eye-catching music video, as well as the self-arranged track ‘Kimi no Yozora Shoukaihan.’
