Comment from Maeda Jun in the album:

This song was clearly written in a way that the screams would become a part of the chorus. Since that meant Asakura couldn’t sing, this distribution of the chorus lines was inevitable. I think XAI-san herself remembers this best, but I told her that she sounded like she was singing about someone else and asked her to sing the verses as if they were about herself. I made her feel that much despair. Having these two young people sing lyrics like "Even if this world is a prison and living is the punishment"—that is what She is Legend is like.
