It’s a trance track infused with a heavy, weighty guitar sound, and it’s just plain cool.
The Japanese lyrics are quite aggressive in translation, but that actually fits perfectly with both the song and the anime’s atmosphere.

A jazzy pop tune brimming with momentum, kicking off with lively drums.
Official HIGE DANDism, now a national piano-pop band, wrote it specifically as the opening theme for the TV anime SPY×FAMILY.
Released in April 2022, the track became a major hit, reaching No.
1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.
The lyrics are closely intertwined with the story of a makeshift family living together while hiding their true identities.
Set to a whirlwind of sound, it captures the characters’ delicate emotions as they nurture their bonds—bewildered by the gravity of a genuine presence within a fabricated everyday life.
An emotional number that’s a must-listen for anyone who loves thrilling yet heartwarming stories!

The lyrics, which depict a deep trust and bond where you can understand each other just by meeting eyes without exchanging words, mesh perfectly with the anime’s worldview.

This song colors that exciting tale.
