Comment from Maeda Jun in the album:
I’m reminded of how worried I was when this song was chosen for the Chapter 3 PV, since the intro starts with harsh screams. Back then, I never thought that players would accept She is Legend’s musical style to this extent. I was able to confirm this during the half-anniversary event, but I think that this song shows off the strengths of having two vocalists. Suzuki Konomi-san knows many techniques to make anything sound cool, and that’s one of those strengths. She can even make strange lyrics sound cool. So, when distributing lines, I give her most of the strange lines and parts that I want to be finished in a cool way.
