Album Notes & Community Reviews
A rare ballad single from the Osaka band, built on acoustic guitar and Kyo's restrained vocal before the arrangement swells. Sonically it is built on a guitar-led arrangement over a direct rhythm section, the death construction carrying a bittersweet cast throughout.
