It was the first ballad single in nine years since “vestige” released in 2005.
The song was used in a commercial for Ikeda Mohando’s Delicare M’s, in which the artist also appeared.
The original plan for the commercial was to rewrite the lyrics of an existing song, but at the artist’s suggestion that “it might be more interesting to release the parody version (the commercial lyrics) first,” the track used in the commercial was used as the basis to rewrite the lyrics and then released.

It’s a heartrending ballad.
