A track where sexy saxophone and the rich tone of powerhouse vocalist Tsunku♂’s voice fit perfectly together.

Its worldview—about moving on without lingering over a breakup—gives a push to anyone training hard, and its BPM makes it a perfect match for workouts.

This is a famous song by Hiroshi En, who is still active as a TV personality.

The vocals repeatedly sing about flying, spinning, and falling, and that repetition gradually builds excitement.

When you try timing it with the intervals of repetitive training, it becomes an incredibly effective workout song.
