This is a grand picnic song set in space, included on THE ALFEE’s classic album “GLINT BEAT,” released in September 2001.
Some of you may remember that the album reached No.

The lyrical world, crafted by Toshihiko Takamizawa and lyricist Yukinojo Mori, is uniquely charming—heading out to the edge of the universe on a sparkling airship for a picnic.
The song captures the protagonist’s excitement for a futuristic date with their loved one through a floating melody and dramatic song structure.
With their signature rock foundation layered with diverse sounds, the cyber-pop vibe really lifts your spirits.
It’s a perfect track not only for a picnic under blue skies, but also as a great companion for a drive.

It likens a man and woman’s blazing romance to a universe for just the two of them, and the image of a glittering galaxy with twinkling stars is directly reflected in the song.
In the face of their love, the voices around them don’t matter, and it seems they can see no one but each other.
