A limited single available only at live venues and via streaming.

It’s marked by lyrics that burst in with overwhelming momentum right from the emotional opening guitar riff.

At the Zepp DiverCity one-man show where this limited single was released, the set was significantly altered due to vocalist Yamanaka’s throat issues.

It was later announced that he had vocal cord polyps, leading to a temporary hiatus from live performances.

He safely returned in December of the same year, putting fans at ease.
