Released in May 2017 as a digital-only single, it was chosen as the ending theme for Nippon TV’s “Burari Tochūgesha no Tabi.” It was later included in the September 2017 album HARVEST, the artist’s first in six and a half years, and has been praised as a work that fuses Inagaki’s seasoned vocals with sophisticated arrangements.
