It’s also a karaoke staple, and lots of people can sing it—so try going to karaoke with friends and singing it together.

Released in 2006, this is the fifth single by the six-member rock band UVERworld.

It was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama “Dandori ~Dance☆Drill~.” Its clear vocals, combined with a loud yet somewhat wistful sound, are the secret to its popularity.
