That's a strange name for an album. I wonder what is the meaning behind.

Man I was really hoping they’d pull away from this sound, especially on an album opener. But they didn’t. It’s not a bad song but it’s not groundbreaking either.

I'm not really shocked that the album opener, which is also supposed to be The Ayumi Song of the album, is EDM-based since that's kinda been her entire brand. It's a good way to wrap up her tenure as a Momusu member, and I'm sure the other songs on the album will probably deviate from that sound considering their most recent single.

I do like that this song production-wise isn't as "safe" as their most recent EDM releases, which is when they started losing me with that sound. It feels chaotic the way Renai Hunter, Brainstorming, Wolf Boy, etc. did, but it all comes together very well. Definitely hoping we get some performance footage of the song next week on Harosute.
